Book Synopsis Up The Notched-log Ladder by : Sydwell Mouw Flynn
Download or read book Up The Notched-log Ladder written by Sydwell Mouw Flynn and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the remarkable, historic story of one missionary family deep in the jungles of Borneo and their adventures living among the Dayaks, the indigenous people of Borneo, from 1933 to 1950. From beginning to end, the narrative of this first-hand account sweeps us along as we learn of Arthur and Edna's deep faith, their emotional and respectful connection with the Dayak people, and the family's harrowing escape from Borneo in the midst of World War II. Embracing their new-found faith with great joy, the Dayaks learn to pray, sing, build churches and support their own pastors by tithing a portion of their own meager resources - rice, eggs, vegetables and chickens. This book shows us two people whose humanity and love for others is a joy to behold. You don't have to believe in Christianity or missionary programs to be absorbed in and come to love the character of Arthur and Edna Mouw, as well as the Dayaks, how and why the people change, and the interaction of American, Dutch and Dayak cultures. This historic account is brought up to date when the author recounts her trip back, almost a half century later, to the land and people where she grew up. Everywhere she traveled among the Dayaks, they remembered her family, and she was joyfully received and surrounded by their love.

Book Synopsis All Elevations Unknown by : Sam Lightner Jr.

Book excerpt: “Sam Lightner, Jr., combines two tales of adventure, one historic and the other modern-day in his page-turner . . . With its rich sense of place and history, All Elevations Unknown offers a surprisingly fresh twist to an adventure-climbing tale.” –Climbing Magazine In the spring of 1999, armed with little more than a description from a book and a map labeled “all elevations unknown,” Sam Lightner and his German rock-climbing buddy, Volker, found themselves deep in the jungles of Borneo on a mission to climb a mountain that was only rumored to exist. What little they knew about the mountain they had learned from the memoirs of Major Tom Harrisson, a British World War II soldier who in 1945 had been assigned the near-impossible mission of parachuting blindly into the thick Borneo rainforest–where the natives had a grisly habit of cutting off heads–to try to reclaim the island for the Allies. A captivating, utterly original combination of travel adventure memoir and historical re-creation, All Elevations Unknown charts Lightner’s exhilarating and at times harrowing quest to ascend the mountain Batu Lawi in the face of leeches, vipers, and sweat bees, and to keep his team together in one of the earth’s most treacherous uncharted pockets. Along the way, he reconstructs a fascinating historical narrative that chronicles Tom Harrisson’s adventures there during the war and illuminates an astonishing piece of forgotten World War II history. Rife with suspense and vivid detail, the two intertwining tales open up the island of Borneo, its people, and its history in a powerful, unforgettable way, taking adventure writing to new heights.

Download or read book Up the Notched-Log Ladder written by Sydwell Mouw Flynn and published by . This book was released on 2004-10-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caution! Reading this book in it's entirety may cause the following side effects: Surprise, Anger, Disbelief, and even Amusement. We begin by revealing the little known, inside workings of the pharmaceutical industry, based on the experiences of people who have worked there. Why do you think it is that your drugs cost so much? Is it because of all the high tech 'stuff' that goes into making it? Or is it something else that might shock or even anger you? What goes on behind the scenes often has nothing whatsoever to do with science. This leads to the second part which has to do with our health and the things you may not even realize are making us all sick. This is not just another 'eat right and exercise' book. You will discover information you have never heard before. There are even things that have been proven to harm you but have been covered up or ignored, and even encouraged, as long as there is money to be made. Do you like investigative reporting? Do you like history, or science fiction? Do you have a taste for the macabre? Are you concerned about declining health care, government and military cover ups, or the high cost of medicine? Written with some humor and at times a touch of sarcasm, there is a little bit of something here for everyone. You may or may not agree with some of the things in this book, but once you start reading it, your curiosity will make you want to pick it up again and again until you are finished.
Book Synopsis The Last Wild Men of Borneo by : Carl Hoffman
Download or read book The Last Wild Men of Borneo written by Carl Hoffman and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 2019 EDGAR AWARDS NOMINEE (BEST FACT CRIME) • A BANFF MOUNTAIN BOOK AWARDS FINALIST Two modern adventurers sought a treasure possessed by the legendary “Wild Men of Borneo.” One found riches. The other vanished forever into an endless jungle. Had he shed civilization—or lost his mind? Global headlines suspected murder. Lured by these mysteries, New York Times bestselling author Carl Hoffman journeyed to find the truth, discovering that nothing is as it seems in the world’s last Eden, where the lines between sinner and saint blur into one. In 1984, Swiss traveler Bruno Manser joined an expedition to the Mulu caves on Borneo, the planet’s third largest island. There he slipped into the forest interior to make contact with the Penan, an indigenous tribe of peace-loving nomads living among the Dayak people, the fabled “Headhunters of Borneo.” Bruno lived for years with the Penan, gaining acceptance as a member of the tribe. However, when commercial logging began devouring the Penan’s homeland, Bruno led the tribe against these outside forces, earning him status as an enemy of the state, but also worldwide fame as an environmental hero. He escaped captivity under gunfire twice, but the strain took a psychological toll. Then, in 2000, Bruno disappeared without a trace. Had he become a madman, a hermit, or a martyr? American Michael Palmieri is, in many ways, Bruno’s opposite. Evading the Vietnam War, the Californian wandered the world, finally settling in Bali in the 1970s. From there, he staged expeditions into the Bornean jungle to acquire astonishing art and artifacts from the Dayaks. He would become one of the world’s most successful tribal-art field collectors, supplying sacred works to prestigious museums and wealthy private collectors. And yet suspicion shadowed this self-styled buccaneer who made his living extracting the treasure of the Dayak: Was he preserving or exploiting native culture? As Carl Hoffman unravels the deepening riddle of Bruno’s disappearance and seeks answers to the questions surrounding both men, it becomes clear saint and sinner are not so easily defined and Michael and Bruno are, in a sense, two parts of one whole: each spent his life in pursuit of the sacred fire of indigenous people. The Last Wild Men of Borneo is the product of Hoffman’s extensive travels to the region, guided by Penan through jungle paths traveled by Bruno and by Palmieri himself up rivers to remote villages. Hoffman also draws on exclusive interviews with Manser’s family and colleagues, and rare access to his letters and journals. Here is a peerless adventure propelled by the entwined lives of two singular, enigmatic men whose stories reveal both the grandeur and the precarious fate of the wildest place on earth.

Book excerpt: This award winning book gives a factual and vividly descriptive account of a young man who pursues his passion for exotic Pheasants into the deepest jungles of Borneo, the world's third largest island. Dan is determined to find the tiny Bornean Peacock Pheasant even though there hasn' t been a documented sighting of the bird in the wild since 1962. Traveling by himself into the hot humid oldgrowth rainforests, Dan is often unaware of the dangers involved because he doesn't speak the language or know the customs. During his seven months in Indonesia, he finds himself in some very unusual, often uncomfortable, and more often that not, life-threatening situations. But Dan never strays far from his focus of finding the Pheasant, and his intriguing personal experiences range from hold your breath adventure to hold your belly hilarious.
