More Tales From A Somewhat Misanthropic Naturalist…

LEICESTSHIRE, U.K. - Aug. 19, 2013 - PRLog -- Sabah-taged is a day-by-day account of an expedition made by Brian, together with his wife Sandra – this time to the Sabah province of Borneo. It details not only the factual aspects of their excursion, but also Brian’s irreverent thoughts on all he observes. Sabah has a unique mix of tropical flora and fauna, as well as a unique situation in terms of its ‘development’ and people. The book describes its wonderful natural environments and how these are under threat. It also provides a provocative insight into its local culture and cast of characters – whether of the endemic variety or otherwise. Sabah-taged therefore encapsulates such diverse topics as the joys of montane forests, the behaviour of orang-utans, the etiquette of sunbathing, the limited fashion potential of leech socks and the Darwinistic view of the development of Muslims and non-Muslims in a faith-focused world.

Cape Earth follows Brian and Sandra to the ten-island archipelago of Cape Verde, weaving together an informative, factual account of this mid-Atlantic nation with Brian’s provocative commentary on its culture, history and place in the world. However, Cape Verde is like no other country on the planet. The book details the couple’s travels to the main island, Santiago, the ‘desert island’ of Boa Vista, and then the ‘holiday island’ of Sal. It therefore provides an insight into the pressures posed by the population and development in three very different situations, to say nothing of further insights into such matters as the impact of an incessant wind, the behaviour of husbands when their ambitious driving plans lead them and their wives into perilous situations, and the difficulties endured by these husbands when they are unable to synchronise the arrival of hotel food with a bottle of wine.
