The European discovery of the northwest coast of America is fully and dramatically recorded in this journal, an invaluable historical and scientific source document. It is also a gripping narrative of human conflict, of nature as the overwhelming adversary, of terror and pain and death, and of final deliverance.

In the service of the Russian tsarina, the German naturalist Steller accompanied the great Danish explorer Vitus Bering on a voyage that survived shipwreck and unimaginable hardship to mark the beginning of Alaska's recorded history. This book is a new translation and annotation of Steller's journal of that voyage and the first to be based completely upon a surviving copy of Steller's manuscript dated 1743 (previous translation had been based on a 1793 edition). The journal is the best known of Steller's writings, not so much because of events along the way, or its biological and anthropological observations, not even because of the momentous sight of the Alaskan coast and the subsequent landings, but because of the harrowing events of the return voyage.

Thirty-two men of the 78 who set sail died, including Bering himself; 46 survived shipwreck in the winter of 1741-42 on a treeless, uninhabited island, and returned finally to home port on Kamchatka in a small vessel built from timbers of the wrecked ship. On the island, Bering and his lieutenant had become too ill to function and Steller found himself taking the lead in organizing work parties, finding antiscorbutic plant and animal food, nursing the six, and cheering the depressed--actions that kept all from perishing.

Not long lasting but my dog loves them
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 20 Count (Pack of 1)
My little dog loves them. But they are NOT long lasting and definitely require supervision. Would love to find a product that would last longer than ten minutes,

Good Quality Chew for Dogs with Sensitive Stomachs
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
I have a small dog with a sensitive stomach and these sticks are perfect for him. It's a low calorie treat that takes him 10-15 minutes to eat and he really likes the peanut butter taste. These are not cheap but by purchasing them in the 40-pack box it's a little less expensive than the smaller 10 pack bags. I know there are cheaper brands for this type of chew stick, but I like that this product is made in the US and so I don't worry as much about poor manufacturing practices or unknown additives.

Great quality!
Great quality and ingredients. These are SAFE alternative to dangerous raw hide treats. My pups love these so much, they chew on them before bed every night. It's like a pacifier for them. It's a game for my husband and I to find their little stash spots in our bed. I've tried other brands and these are the only ones our pups will eat. I love that I don't have to worry about the safety of the ingredients. If you feed your dogs raw hide, I strongly recommend switching to these.

Great for aggressive chewers!
Size: Jumbo, Style: Peanut Butter
I have a very very aggressive chewer. She is a Rottweiler/Pitbull mix. Most toys she completely destroys within 2 days, sometimes 2 hours. I must praise this toy as she has had it for over 5 months and has not destroyed it! She loves chewing the ends and carries in her mouth squeaking it as she goes. I have 4 pups and they all take turns chewing when they can. I will be buying more Playology dog toys in the future. Thank you for making such a great toy!!

They are her favorites
Size: Medium (VALUE 2-Pack), Style: Beef, Size: Medium (VALUE 2-Pack), Style: Beef
We’ve had many dogs, many very destructive ones and wish I had these years ago. The hard toys get sharp edges, this toy is the best and yes is far better than the other red ones. My bulldog wants tug of war for 30 min to an hour every night. We’ve gotten tennis elbow, tendinitis, and pulled muscles holding onto this thing. She has tons of toys but 9pm and this is only option for her. We don’t get a choice. Easy to hold, well for a few min until your hand gets tired. First you one was about 3 years ago and she’s only on her third one. They last forever, easy to clean, and aren’t sharp edges. Seriously, better than any toy sold anywhere. My phone has hundred of pictures of Pickle holding this. She’s doing it right now. If you have a strong destructive dog that takes pride in destroying toys, ruin their confidence and get them this one.
