Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is an account of one who was born in the 1930s, was saddled with a surging libido, and who, in the winter of his life, looks back fondly. "Confessions" is a story that will cause the reader to laugh out loud at both the joy and the foibles of man's unbridled pursuit of sex. Except for locations and times, men and women across generations will be able to identify with the story. The reader will receive tidbits of history from events and practices of the twentieth century. To that end, this work is somewhat educational, especially when old wives notions of sex are exposed to the light of irreverence. The main character, in this story, is guided through life by his most private part, to which he refers as 'Little Willie.' Our hero's Mother, redneck Father, and the Reverend Gavin serve to temper only slightly the ache in our hero's groin. This could be viewed as a poor man's Passages, designed to tickle ones funny bone and to expose the vagaries of an oversupply of testosterone. In the prose of Arthur Elmo's Formative years, Southern dialect serves to validate the events and the culture of that era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acclaimed naturalist Alex Shoumatoff issues a worldwide call to protect the drastically endangered rainforests of Borneo In his eleventh book, but his first in almost two decades, seasoned travel writer Alex Shoumatoff takes readers on a journey from the woods of rural New York to the rain forests of the Amazon and Borneo, documenting both the abundance of life and the threats to these vanishing Edens in a wide-ranging narrative. Alex and his best friend, Davie, spent their formative years in the forest of Bedford, New York. As adults they grew apart, but bonded by the “imaginary jungle” of their childhood, Alex and Davie reunited fifty years later for a trip to a real jungle, in the heart of Borneo. During the intervening years, Alex had become an author and literary journalist, traveling the world to bring to light places, animals, and indigenous cultures in peril. The two reconnect and spend three weeks together on Borneo, one of the most imperiled ecosystems on earth. Insatiable demand for the palm oil ubiquitous in consumer goods is wiping out the world’s most ancient and species-rich rain forest, home to the orangutan and countless other life-forms, including the Penan people, with whom Alex and Davie camp. The Penan have been living in Borneo’s rain forest for millennia, but 90 percent of the lowland rain forest has already been logged and burned to make way for vast oil-palm plantations. Among the most endangered tribal people on earth, the Penan are fighting for their right to exist. Shoumatoff condenses a lifetime of learning about what binds humans to animals, nature, and each other, culminating in a celebration of the Penan and a call for Westerners to address the palm-oil crisis and protect the biodiversity that sustains us all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘We’ve left a lot of men in Borneo – know what I mean?’ With their SAS trainer’s warnings ringing in their ears, the naturalist, Redmond O’Hanlon, and the poet, James Fenton, set out to rediscover the lost rhinoceros of Borneo. They were loaded with enough back-breaking kit to survive two months in a steaming 95° (in the shade) jungle of creeping, crawling, biting things. O’Hanlon could also rely on his encyclopaedic knowledge of the region’s flora and fauna, and had read-up on how to avoid being eaten by anything (stick your thumbs in a crocodile’s eyes, if you have time). And yet they proceeded to have an adventure that neither O’Hanlon, nor his friend, nor even his guides were remotely prepared for... ‘Consistently exciting, often funny, and erudite without ever being overwhelming’ Punch.

Book excerpt: Winner of SILVER MEDAL in 2013 Moonbeam Children's Book Awards and BRONZE MEDAL in 2013 Independent Publisher's Book Awards. Bumbling Through Hong Kong is an educational yet comical adventure through the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and its many manmade and natural environments.
