House of Stone: A Memoir of Home, Family, and a Lost Middle East"Wonderful . . . One of the finest memoirs I've read." Philip Caputo, Washington Post In the summer of 2006, racing through Lebanon to report on the Israeli invasion, Anthony Shadid found himself in his family's ancestral hometown of Marjayoun. There, he discovered his great grandfather's once magnificent estate in near ruins, devastated by war. One year later, Shadid returned to Marjayoun, not to chronicle the violence, but to rebuild in its wake. So
"Wonderful . . . One of the finest memoirs I've read." -- Philip Caputo, Washington Post In the summer of 2006, racing through Lebanon to report on the Israeli invasion, Anthony Shadid found himself in his family's ancestral hometown of Marjayoun. There, he discovered his great-grandfather's once magnificent estate in near ruins, devastated by war. One year later, Shadid returned to Marjayoun, not to chronicle the violence, but to rebuild in its wake. So begins the story of a battle-scarred home and a journalist's wounded spirit, and of how reconstructing the one came to fortify the other. In this bittersweet and resonant memoir, Shadid creates a mosaic of past and present, tracing the house's renewal alongside the history of his family's flight from Lebanon and resettlement in America around the turn of the twentieth century. In the process, he memorializes a lost world and provides profound insights into a shifting Middle East. This paperback edition includes an afterword by the journalist Nada Bakri, Anthony Shadid's wife, reflecting on his legacy. "A poignant dedication to family, to home, and to history . . . Breathtaking." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Entertaining, informative, and deeply moving . . . House of Stone will stand a long time, for those fortunate enough to read it." -- Telegraph (London)Binding Type: Paperback

Durable Enough for Strong Jaws
I’ve gone through many toys that my dog destroys in minutes. This one has held up way better. The material feels tough, yet safe for chewing. I use it both indoors and outside, and it’s easy to rinse off when dirty. It’s been a relief to find something that can last longer in daily play.

Durable Toy for Active Dogs
This ball is strong enough to handle daily play while keeping dogs entertained. It provides stimulation that helps reduce boredom and restlessness. The material feels tough but safe for dogs, and the interactive design makes it more exciting than a regular ball. It’s also lightweight enough for indoor or outdoor use. A smart choice for pet owners looking to keep dogs occupied.

Bright, easy to clean toy
This ball is a fun little addition for my big dog. The bright blue color really helps, it is easy to spot under the sofa or behind furniture. The outer shell feels durable, not soft rubber but springy enough to handle his chewing without marks. When switched on, it rolls around by itself and makes my dog chase it all over the living room, which is a good way to burn his energy on rainy days. The internal switch is hidden, which I like because my dog cannot open it with his teeth. It is simple to turn on and off, and so far, the movement works as described. The texture also resists hair sticking, and I can rinse it under water, and it looks clean again in seconds. For the price, it serves its purpose and gives my dog a short burst of excitement each day.

Fun and Tough Interactive Toy for My Big Dog
This interactive dog ball has been a great addition for my large dog. The ball’s material is very durable and holds up well even with heavy chewing. My dog usually destroys toys within days, but this one has lasted weeks and still looks great. The automatic play modes keep him active and entertained, especially when I’m busy. He loves chasing it both indoors and outdoors, and it helps release his energy. The battery life is decent, and the operation is simple. Overall, it’s a fun, sturdy, and smart toy that really keeps my dog busy and happy

Finally, a Toy That Keeps My Dog Entertained and Active
I bought this interactive dog ball for my German Shepherd, who is very energetic and can be quite aggressive with his chewing. I've tried countless toys that either failed to hold his attention or broke within a week, but this ball is incredibly durable. The durable E-TPU material feels tough and flexible, yet lightweight, making it easy for him to carry around. The bright blue color makes it easily recognizable indoors or out, and I can spot it at a glance.
The ball bounces and rolls in unpredictable patterns, keeping him alert and focused. When he tires of chasing, I switch it to slow mode so he can push the ball around easily. I've noticed he's calmer after playing in the evenings.
