Measuring the World marks the debut of a glorious new talent on the international scene. Young Austrian writer Daniel Kehlmann's brilliant comic novel revolves around the meeting of two colossal geniuses of the Enlightenment.
Late in the eighteenth century, two young Germans set out to measure the world. One of them, the aristocratic naturalist Alexander von Humboldt, negotiates jungles, voyages down the Orinoco River, tastes poisons, climbs the highest mountain known to man, counts head lice, and explores and measures every cave and hill he comes across. The other, the reclusive and barely socialized mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, can prove that space is curved without leaving his home. Terrifyingly famous and wildly eccentric, these two polar opposites finally meet in Berlin in 1828, and are immediately embroiled in the turmoil of the post-Napolean world.

Winner, Winner! say My Three Dogs
Size: 3.8 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Sweet Potato, Ring
I'm always looking for different treats for my three dogs (10, 20 and 30 pounds, I don't ever recall giving my dogs anything with a pumpkin flavor, so I decided to trythese i-paw pumpkin flavored treats (I got the rings). All three of my dogs took the treat immediately and went off into their separate corners to chew away (one of my dogs is pretty fussy, so I was surprised she took it without hesitation). I'm no expert in dog treat ingredients, but I didn't see anything on the ingredients list that looked objectionable. While advertised as a rawhyde replacement, these rings don't last anywhere near as long as a rawhide, so while my dogs didn't wolf them down as fast as a conventional treat, they weren't left occupied for the half hour that a rawhide of this size might have kept them entertained (except for one of my dogs, who took an hour to finish hers, but she only has 7 teeth left in her mouth, so that's not really a fair comparison). I wouldn't hesitate to order these treats again for my pups.

Lab tested. Lab approved. WAY too expensive.
Size: 3.8 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Sweet Potato, Ring
My dog likes these. But they don't really last all that long. And the package only included 5-6 rings. So that's an expensive treat, when I can get a bag of 40 dental treats (5" sticks) for the same price. Would I buy these again? No

I've got a picky dog. He likes what he likes. He liked them at first but then lost interest.

Small ingredient list -- BIG taste!
Size: 3.8 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Sweet Potato, Ring
This snack is tasty, given its simple formula of sweet potatoes, turkey, coconut, and soy protein isolate. The bag arrived at the house, and the girls were instantly ready for the latest and newest snack. There were four treats total in my bag - one for each baby. The smallest one (20 lbs), ironically, disappeared her treat faster than her three larger siblings (40 lbs). The bigger dogs savored their treats with smelling, licking, tasting, and chomping with elation on these tasty new treats. These chewies satisfy your girls between meals, which I noticed by them not bugging me for food hours before dinner. These seemed to do the trick and hold them over. A great appetizer, in my opinion.

My dog absolutely loves these treats
Size: 3.8 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Sweet Potato, Ring
These turkey + sweet potato treats are a hit with my dog. Likes: - Good size. Substantial enough to be classified as a "special treat". - Good ingredients and nutrition. - Zero issues with digestion. - Arrived fresh and in great condition. - Good value. Dislikes: - Like most treats, they don't last that long. They are no bully stick--they go faster. Overall my dog loves these treats!
