In this thrilling foray into the animal kingdom, Richard Conniff takes readers on an adventure-packed journey as he courts the most dangerous animals and lives to tell the tale. He lets African wild dogs sniff his neck to test the idea that they are vicious man-eaters, sticks his hand in a fire ant mound and does multiple takes for a pretty camerawoman on a television shoot, and flings chicken carcasses into piranha-infested waters to clock how quickly they disappear--before diving in himself. This collection offers a rare chance to go along on these death-defying treks and see life through the eyes of a bona-fide field naturalist.Binding Type: Paperback

These pillows are truly cooling, and they make a huge difference!
These pillows are amazing. I absolutely love them. I’m going through menopause, so I’m constantly hot, then cold, then hot again.
These pillows are truly cooling, and they make a huge difference. I’m a side sleeper, and they are incredibly comfortable. They’re worth every penny, and I highly recommend them to everyone.

Not good
Cooling part is nice, other than that not pleased, the pilllows are like rocks no matter how much foam I take out, for 55$? No thanks, waste of my money

Not all the same! Some Great, some not.
I bought the queen 2 pillow green blue pillows first. Absolutely love them. Later I saw they had them with cooling on both sides and bought the queen 2 pillow set of that..not the one that said firm. These new ones are way over stuffed and very firm, they do not sink in softly like the first ones. So I would only get the green/blue tag ones they are 5 star-best i have used, this last one 3 star and regretting them. I took enough stuffing out of the two new ones to make 1.5 new pillows, now descent but not the soft comfort as the first, I thought that was what I was paying for. So it's a gamble. The lighter color stuffing is soft and has more of a memory foam reaction, the other darker one feels like stiffer foam with more air in it. It's still soft but doesn't feel like memory foam.
