We find risk everywhere--from genetically modified crops, medical malpractice, and stem-cell therapy to heartbreak, online predators, identity theft, inflation, and robbery. They arise from our own acts and they are imposed on us. In this Very Short Introduction, Baruch Fischhoff and John Kadvany draw on both the sciences and humanities to illuminate both the similarities and differences of various kinds of risk. Using conceptual frameworks such as decision theory and behavioral decision research, they examine the science and practice of creating measures of risk and look at how scientists apply probability by combining historical records, scientific theories, and expert judgment. Perhaps more important, they show what science has learned about how people deal with risks, applying these lessons to diverse everyday examples, demonstrating how we can move from understanding a risk to making a choice to diminish risk in everyday life.

The heartbeat pup is excellent quality! Its very comforting for my new dog!
I absolutely love this heartbeat stuffed pup! I have been caring for my sisters little dog and this has helped her so much 💗 its been very comforting for her! It also helped her when there were fireworks! The lick mats are high quality and have a lot of suction cups on the back! They stay stuck on very well! All of my dogs love the ball as well! Im extremely pleased with this whole set!

Puppy loves her baby
Purchased for a 9 week old puppy, she is now 18 weeks, took the heartbeat out and it’s her baby, drags it everywhere and hasn’t ripped it to shreds.

Incredible smoothly
I recently purchased the Heartbeat Puppy Calming Kit, and it has been a game-changer for my anxious puppy! The heartbeat toy is incredibly soothing and helps my puppy sleep soundly through the night. The lick mats and treat ball keep her entertained and busy, which has significantly reduced her separation anxiety. The quality of all the items is excellent, and they are durable enough to withstand daily use. This kit is a must-have for any new puppy owner looking to provide comfort and training aids. Highly recommend!

Durable and Great for Teething!
Size: X-Large, Color: Textured Ring, Size: X-Large, Color: Textured Ring
This Nylabone Power Chew Textured Ring is a great find! It’s a pretty big ring, which is perfect because my puppy can grow into it. She already loves it and spends a good amount of time chewing on it. She’s a big teether, so I was specifically looking for something she could gnaw on that wasn’t plastic, and this has been so much better than the other things she tries to get her teeth into. It seems durable, keeps her occupied, and the price is great for the quality. I’ll definitely be buying another one when needed!
