Beehler, a widely traveled expert on birds and tropical ecology, recounts fascinating details from twelve field trips he has taken to the tropics over the past three decades. As a researcher, he brings to life the exotic rainforests and the people who inhabit them; as a conservationist, he makes a plea for better ways of managing rainforestsa resource that the world cannot do without. Drawing on his experiences in Papua New Guinea, India, Madagascar, Indonesia, the Philippines, Panama, and the Ivory Coast, Beehler describes the surprisesboth pleasant and unpleasantof doing science and conservation in the field. He explains the role that rainforests play in the lives of indigenous peoples and the crucial importance of understanding local cultures, customs, and politics. The author concludes with simple but tough solutions for maintaining rainforest health, expressing fervent hope that his great-grandchildren and others may one day also hear the rainforest whisper its secrets.

Book Synopsis LOST TO TWO WORLDS by : J Michael Bailey
Download or read book LOST TO TWO WORLDS written by J Michael Bailey and published by Ravello Books. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “LOST TO TWO WORLDS is a sad reflection of our times, when evil men do evil things yet flourish without misgivings, while good men can anguish a lifetime from childhood trauma that permanently defines them. The story unfolds over two centuries on three continents. It focuses on the lives of two men whose characters are diametrically opposed: Benjamin Boyd, a Scotsman and a real-life, historic pioneer who arrives in Australia in 1842, and a fictional character named Daniel Hannaford, a mining engineer born in Australia in 1953. A man with few redeeming qualities, Boyd stops at nothing, including murder and a form of slavery known as blackbirding, all to satiate his excessive personal needs and a driving ambition to restore his family’s fortunes. 173 years later, Daniel Hannaford accepts an engineering contract on the small island of Lucaya in the Caribbean. Disturbed by a tormented past and an irresolute personality, Daniel meets Brianna, a Jamaican bartender at an island government party. That same evening, both are witness to a brutal attack on a woman, encouraged by the island’s premier and perpetrated by the son of an influential British Lord and billionaire. Separated by almost two hundred years, the two stories, narrated in juxtaposition, illustrate the good and evil of two very different men, one driven by greed and ambition and the other tormented by his past and the guilt of loving two women.” Excerpt From Lost To Two Worlds J Michael Bailey This material may be protected by copyright.
