An extraordinary book.
---Arthur C. Clarke

Space was one of the most fiercely fought battlegrounds of the Cold War, the Moon its ultimate beachhead.

In this dual autobiography, Apollo 15 commander David Scott and cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, the first man to ever walk in space, recount their exceptional lives and careers spent on the cutting edge of science and space exploration--and their participation in the greatest technological race ever--to land a man on the Moon.

With each mission fraught with perilous tasks, and each space program touched by tragedy, these parallel tales of adventure and heroism read like a modern-day thriller. Cutting fast between their differing recollections, this book reveals, in a very personal way, the drama of one of the most ambitious contests ever embarked on by man, set against the conflict that once held the world in suspense: the clash between Communism and Western democracy.

Through the men's memoirs, their courage, passion for exploration, and determination to push themselves to the limit, emerge not only through their triumphs but also through their perseverance in times of extraordinary difficulty and danger.

Two Sides of the Moon is unique among space histories. If you are looking for a balanced, interesting, and personal account of the American and Soviet space programs during the 1960s and 1970s this is it.

Adorable, but probably not for medium+ dogs
Size: 6 inch (Pack of 1), Style: Rabbit
I got this for my 20 and 30 pound dogs to play with, and though I didn't really expect for it to be a durable or long-term toy for them, I think it felt like it was well-made and would probably suit dogs that are up to 15 pounds the best. It felt better than other dog toys in this price point but was filled with holes already after the first time my dog played with it on his own, which I think is probably more of a fabric issue than an actual quality issue, because it was more of a teeth puncture than seams ripping. I hope this helps! I would definitely recommend it to anyone with a small breed dog who doesn't have the same bite strength .

My dog loves these
Size: 9 inch (Pack of 1), Style: Bone
My dog usually doesn’t play with toys but I decided to try this one. She loved it so much that I ordered 3 more to have on hand! Some of the stitching on the first one is coming apart but it’s actually quite durable given how tough she is on it.

Tail came off right away
Size: 6 inch (Pack of 1), Style: Rabbit
Our little dog kept stealing a stuffed animal off our granddaughter's bed, so I decided to get one that was better suited to him. I liked that there weren't any eyes to pull off, although it does look weird without eyes. He really likes it and carries it around. The bad part is the tail came off almost immediately. He isn't one to chew up toys, so I just don't think it was attached firmly. I haven't tried to put it back on. I may just leave it off. So far the rest of the bunny is holding up.

Comfy slippers!
Size: 7.5 inch (Pack of 1), Style: Slipper, Size: 7.5 inch (Pack of 1), Style: Slipper
My dog eats a lot of things she shouldn’t but she hasn’t eaten the slipper yet. She loves the slipper almost as much as she loves rocks. Rocks are forbidden so we’ve convinced her the slipper is just as forbidden so she holds the slipper in her mouth instead of rocks when we’re on our walks. It’s very soft and it makes for a great hat to cover her snoot indoors. We’ve replaced the first slipper because she likes destroying the squeakers. She hasn’t been able to rip it out the squeaker or tear the slipper, but she isn’t too big on ripping things open unless they’re loaded with fluff. I guess we have a pair of slippers now.

This $6 toy cost more than $1 per minute.
Size: 9 inch (Pack of 1), Style: Bone, Size: 9 inch (Pack of 1), Style: Bone
For while it lasted, this toy was very fun for my 6 month old puppy! She had fun tossing it in the air and chasing it when it landed! Unfortunately, it was not very durable. The chewability is low. She had this toy for less than five minutes and I saw the polyester fill stuffing sticking out of her mouth. I have no issue with the size nor the color as they were as described. This is definitely not a good value for your money. On a side note, Ceci is not a destructive pup. She has toys from the day I brought her home four months ago that she has not torn up nor destroyed. She has $4 toys from a big box store that remain in tact to this day as well.
