Frank Herbert's Dune is the biggest-selling science fiction story of all time; the original book and its numerous sequels have transported millions of readers into the alternate reality of the Duniverse. Dune and Philosophy raises intriguing questions about the Duniverse in ways that will be instantly meaningful to fans. Those well-known characters--Paul Atreides, Baron Harkkonen, Duncan Idaho, Stilgar, the Bene Gesserit witches--come alive again in this fearless philosophical probing of some of life's most basic questions. Dune presents us with a vast world in which fanaticism is merciless and history is made by the interplay of ruthless conspiracies. Computers have long been outlawed, so that the abilities of human beings are developed to an almost supernatural level. The intergalactic empire controlled by a privileged aristocracy raises all the old questions of human interaction in a strange yet weirdly familiar setting. Do secret conspiracies direct the future course of human political evolution? Can manipulation of the gene pool create a godlike individual? Are strife and bloodshed essential to progress? Can we know so much about the future that we lose the power to make a difference? Does reliance on valuable resources--such as "spice," oil, and water--place us at the mercy of those who can destroy those resources? When gholas are reconstructed from the cells of dead people and given those people's memories, is the ghola the dead person resurrected? Can the exploitation of religion for political ends be reduced to a technique? Philosophers who are fans of Dune will trek through the desert of the Duniverse seeing answers to these and other questions.Binding Type: Paperback

Indestructible
Style: Fetch Balls (Pack of 2), Size: 3 inch
These balls are indestructible! We have a lab and a lab mix and they CANNOT damage these balls. They love them for fetch and to just chew on them (slightly squishy, but NO damage). Best toys we have bought for them.

Great trial set. Just be careful throwing the orange one!
Style: Assorted Balls (Pack of 3), Size: 2.5 inch
Blue isn't that easy to see in the yard
White charges with bright light/UV and is truly a game changer for night-time fetch. Both dogs clearly favor it.
Orange is easy to see in the grass at day
They're 3 different weights as well, so double trial. I prefer medium for my big dogs, though light performs well too
The orange is HEAVY and unyielding. Do NOT throw it with a ball thrower. It could damage your house or knock your dog out. Seems tough though.

Very convenient, soft, comfortable and does its job.
Size: 3 Pairs - Gray, Green, Pink
As a first responder being on your feet consistently in heavy boots really takes a toll.
I buy new soles for my boots and noticed the inconsistency balance from heel to toe which caused cracked and dry heels.
I was desperate to find an immediate solution and saw these.
Received all the socks individually wrapped, I am a size 5 1/2 to 6 in women’s shoes and they fit so snuggly. They are convenient, they fit under my work socks due to them only covering a portion of the foot and heel, the inside where the heel is a soft rubber material that helps keeps it in place, as well as if you use ointment or oils. The socks are soft and very comfortable that at the end of the day you forget you are wearing them.
They are also washable both in the washer or hand washed and it doesn’t affect the rubber material.
Highly recommend especially after a foot spa day.

Perfect!
Size: 3 Pairs - Gray, Green, Pink
When my heel skin started cracking, I of course found the internet hacks that went along the lines of put some moisturizing something (cream, Vaseline) on your feet and put socks on and go to sleep. Somehow many issues. While putting on the socks, I already wiped off the moisturizer. It feels terrible. My sleeping self hates socks apparently! I always kick them off, the socks are covered in moisturizer, and it’s all over my blanket. Yuck!
So when I found these socks I was unsure but willing to try. These are exactly what I needed! They have this gel-y coating inside that does not absorb the moisturizer, so it actually gets absorbed into your skin. They are snug without cutting off circulation, and along with kerasal, my heels are being healed! Could not recommend enough.
