Description:
In the late 1950s, like tens of thousands of young men of his
generation, Pierre Bourdieu, having recently passed the
agrégation in philosophy, found himself immersed in the
Algerian war. Motivated by an impulse that, as he himself says,
?was civic rather than political?, nothing seemed more
important to him than to understand the Algerian situation and
provide the elements that would enable others to come to an
informed judgement about it.
In extremely tough conditions and along with a small group of
students, Bourdieu undertook a series of studies across an Algeria
that was tightly patrolled by the army, leading him to discover the
shocking reality of the resettlement camps and to analyse the
mechanisms of destruction of Algerian society of which they were
emblematic. To achieve the objectives he had set himself, Bourdieu
had to carry out a genuine intellectual conversion, acquiring an
ethnographic understanding of Algerian society, learning
sociological analysis at a breakneck pace and inventing new
instruments - both theoretical and empirical - that would enable
him to understand the relations of domination specific to
colonialism. These new tools also enabled him to analyse the nature
of the crisis that the war had both produced and manifested.
This unique volume brings together the first texts written by
Bourdieu in the midst of the Algerian conflict, as well as later
writings and interviews in which he returns to the topic of Algeria
and the decisive role it played in the development of his work.

Fun and durable toy for dogs of all sizes
Size: 3 PCS
We have three dogs and one of their favorite kinds of toys is balls. These are the perfect size that all three of the dogs can play with them. We have size ranges from pug to Golden Retriever. Even the pug can carry one around. Mostly she just chases them across the floor. They are durable plastic that the dogs can chew on and so far have not punctured. They also haven't started to flake or splinter like some plastic will when it gets older. I like the bright colors because that makes it easier to find in the grass. They aren't extremely hard so if someone inadvertently gets hit with one it isn't terribly painful. They are a good weight to be able to throw repeatedly without getting a tired arm and yet they aren't lightweight so much that they don't go where you aim. When they get too dirty I just pop them in the dishwasher. I appreciate the value of getting three balls in one package.

Simple Dog Toys Done Well
Size: 3 PCS, Size: 3 PCS
Honestly, as far as simplicity goes, this is simplicity done right. Three simple decently sized toys in a nice bright package. They're the right size, they're the right texture, and they feel fairly well-made. They do still have that ugly little manufacturing seam running across them, so that's noticeable, but otherwise they're perfectly fine. No real issues.
Nice texture, good variation of texture, and the colors are vibrant. Again, they're the right size. They're firm but not overly hard. Kind of almost like a baseball where there's a little bit of give to them, but not like they're made out of stone. So no major problems with this one. My dog has been having a fantastic time with them over the past few days.

Dog loves these.
Size: 3 PCS
The Velcro Pup (so named because she sticks to my side like Velcro) is a 32 pound Border Collie Mix with endless energy and boundless curiosity. She loves bright colors and ripping the stuffing out of all her stuffed toys and distributing it around the house.
To combat that and to give her lots of playtime, I ordered these Rubber Balls. They are soft enough for her to carry around and just the right size for her to pick up and bring them to me to throw. There is a bit of texture on the Balls but it doesn't bother her the least bit.
They do get slobbery after playtime but a quick rinse with water takes that right off.
I do like the bright colors because the Balls are easy to see in the grass.
I also use these to re-inforce training instead of food. Dog goes for it every time.

Not the best for big dogs
Size: 3 PCS
Very tiny balls, didn’t last long with my big dogs. They are very bouncy but overall don’t last long if you have a big chewer.

One Tough Ball!
Color: Blue
Our dogs are loving this ball. Our 1 yr old hound is a world-class chewer and he can't make a dent in this ball. The interactive buzzing and bouncing keeps them entertained for long durations. It's a mite noisy but the barking from the 1 yr old is much louder, lol. Even turned off, they like playing with it and chewing on it. Based on the tough construction, we think it will last much longer than traditional chew balls.
