***

The sea monsters on medieval and Renaissance maps, whether swimming vigorously, gamboling amid the waves, attacking ships, or simply displaying themselves for our appreciation, are one of the most visually engaging elements on these maps, and yet they have never been carefully studied. The subject is important not only in the history of cartography, art, and zoological illustration, but also in the history of the geography of the "marvelous" and of western conceptions of the ocean. Moreover, the sea monsters depicted on maps can supply important insights into the sources, influences, and methods of the cartographers who drew or painted them. In this highly-illustrated book the author analyzes the most important examples of sea monsters on medieval and Renaissance maps produced in Europe, beginning with the earliest mappaemundi on which they appear in the 10th century and continuing to the end of the 16th century.

“[B]eautifully illustrated. . . . People interested in maps, cryptozoology, folklore, and arcane zoology and zoological history will want to check it out.” ― Scientific American

“Medieval and Renaissance map scholar, Chet Van Duzer, backed by the British Library as publisher, have teamed up to produce a spectacular new book, Sea Monsters on Medieval and Renaissance Maps, a topic, oddly enough, for which there is little by way of real precedent. This book will become the sea monster authority by default. Although this beautiful book is a product of academic quality, it is very readable and accessible and requires no prior knowledge.” ― BibliOdyssey

Excellent heavy duty squeaker toy
Color: Green, Size: Large(50-90 lbs)
My German Shepherd LOVES this noisy toy. It is extremely well made, durable, LOUD, and heavy. I'm hoping this toy lasts much longer than the grunting pig that he absolutely loves, but tend to stop squeaking within a day or so. Definitely worth the money!

Terrifying jaw strength..
Color: Green, Size: Medium(30-55 lbs)
Have 2 Corgi and it scares me that they make this thing squeak. The bite pressure they have now from working out jaw to squeak this like it's nothing. Didn't expect our smaller corgi to be able to squeak this couldn't at first now she just goes ham on it like it's no big deal.

Very sturdy for an aggressive chewer
Color: Green, Size: Large(50-90 lbs)
I was so surprised that this has lasted so long for my Black lab, who is an aggressive chewer. It is his all-time favorite toy. He chews it many times every day and the squeaker still works!

I FINALLY GOT AN INDESTRUCTIBLE TOY!!! Yes!
Color: Green, Size: Large(50-90 lbs), Color: Green, Size: Large(50-90 lbs)
This one is TRULY indestructible! I’ve been purchasing one after another trying to find something that she cannot break in 5 mins. Everything I’ve ordered (until this one) has been SHREDDED in 3-10 minutes! It’s TRUE RUBBER! I’m so happy with my purchase! See the picture below- we’ve had it for a couple months now and she has barely chewed off just a few small nubs! Which she’s proud of 😆 If you truly want a challenge for your CRAZY DOG- you will love this squeaker!

Rough and tough chew toy
Color: Azure, Size: Large(50-90 lbs)
This is a thick and heavy duty toy to stand up to medium to large dogs who are heavy chewers. And the rough textures really encourages my dog and it is the perfect size to throw and play fetch. Very sturdy…I bought around Christmas and it’s almost may and she hasn’t destroyed it yet!!!
