Finalist for Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction
Finalist for National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction

Pronged ants, horned humans, a landscape carved on a fruit pit--some of the displays in David Wilson's Museum of Jurassic Technology are hoaxes. But which ones? As he guides readers through an intellectual hall of mirrors, Lawrence Weschler revisits the 16th-century "wonder cabinets" that were the first museums and compels readers to examine the imaginative origins of both art and science.

This interactive dog ball is a total game changer! The automatic rolling and bouncing keeps my dog entertained for long stretches, and the lights make it even more exciting, in the evening. I love that it’s rechargeable and waterproof, so we can use it both indoors and outside without worry. It feels durable and well-made, perfect for medium to large dogs. Also works great with toddlers.

Fun, interactive toy!
So much fun! Bought this for my lab. She wasn't sure what to think of it at first but seems to love it now! I like that it's rechargeable too.

Happy puppy.

My puppy loves his. He carry's it around and throws it. He knows how to turn it on himself. Charges quick.

Overall, I highly recommend it!”
Great toy! My dog loves it 🐶 The ball moves on its own and keeps him entertained for a long time. It’s perfect when I’m busy or not at home. Good quality and fun, but maybe not the best for very aggressive chewers.
