On the Binding Biases of Time and Other Essays on General Semantics and Media Ecology consists of a series of explorations into our use of symbols, language, and media to relate to our environment, and how our different modes of perception and communication influence human consciousness, culture, and social organization. These essays draw upon and integrate the perspectives of general semantics, systems theory, and media ecology, bringing them to bear upon a diversity of topics that include the future of consciousness, identity and meaning, the Ten Commandments, media literacy, The Lord of the Rings, and our relationship to time. Throughout this volume, Strate grapples with the question of what it means to be human, and what the prospects may be for humanity's continued survival. As he concludes in the title essay of this book: "As a species, we are binders of time, bound up by our biases of time; we are moved by our consciousness of time, as we tell time, and as we tell ourselves that only time will tell; as we play for time, and as we pray, as we pray for time."Binding Type: Paperback

This works better than any other product tried
This is the best. I had tried hemp chews, chamomile and lavender ointment, and thunder vest. And at times all three for my dogs anxiety during storms and any loud noise. Nothing worked. Got this and it calmed him almost immediately and actually calmed him so much he just fell asleep. Glad I ordered two. One for upstairs and down. It’s very cute and soft. Great product with a great price. It’s holding up good so far. Only had for a couple of weeks. Hope it holds up for awhile. As he is not a chewer.

Great product. So cute
So pleased. Helped my 11 week puppy sleep in his bed without crying. Would like smaller ones for Yorkies.

Its amazing
My dog calms down when I put her plush toy near her; when I hear the sound of its heartbeat, I know she's very still.

Dogs can open zipper and pull out all the stuffing easily
Not great for a chewer. My 15 week puppy unzipped it and pulled all of the stuffing out. The stuffing is just loose once you unzip it, there isnt a cloth pocket for the battery pack. She also ate the rectangle hand hold part of the zipper. Really sad this didn't work out. I do feel like it helped her settle a little but just wasn't safe for her.
Other than that, it appeared as pictured and worked properly. Also worth noting, the heart beat is LOUD when you put batteries in. I don't know if it calms over time but it was kind of intense.

Zipper is a problem
The first set we received the zipper separated. They were quickly replaced. The zipper tab is very large and our puppy is able to pull it down and pull out all the stuffing. Otherwise it worked to help comfort her until she found the zipper.
