    <![CDATA[A thriller in the tradition of Dan Brown, Michael Crichton, and James Mitchener who combine historical fact with nonstop action, this new novel from the author of Voice of the Planet and Fatal Exposure pits a sinister poacher with an ancient vendetta against the defenders of a mysterious chateau. Its secret existence extends far back into the mists of human memory and has only been hinted at in religion, art, and literature - the original arcadia.<br/><br/><strong>Advance praise for <em>Chateau Beyond Time</em>:</strong><br/><br/>&quot;First of all, entertaining. Then, intelligent. How about witty, perceptive, and meaningful? A must-read!&quot; - William Shatner<br/><br/>&quot;A deliciously twisty tale. This intelligent fantasy brings to life the substance of our dreams. One of my absolute favorite writers, Michael Tobias holds you and has you wave away whatever else calls for your attention. I am in awe.&quot; - Ingrid Newkirk, Founder and President of People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals<br/><br/>&quot;'Chateau Beyond Time' is a rare find. Award-winning filmmaker, ecologist and prolific author Michael Tobias once again takes us on a fast and exhilarating journey, set in contemporary Europe. In this biological thriller, the author's vision of a quirky, compelling kingdom of peace leads relentlessly to an end that is actually the new beginning we've all been hoping and praying for.&quot; - Marc Bekoff, University of Colorado; author of <em>The Emotional Lives of Animals</em> and <em>Animals Matter</em> and editor of the <em>Encyclopedia of Human-Animal Relationships</em><br/><br/>&quot;Tobias's newest book, 'Chateau Beyond Time', is an environmental thriller, a Utopian novel that artfully blends fiction and facts, a page-turner with a plot so intricate and ingenious that I could not put it down until the final mystery revealed itself.&quot; - Michael Pastore, <em>Book Lovers Review</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[Michael Tobias' latest work of fiction is a shocking, breath-stopping political thriller which tracks the fury of an outraged ex-Special Forces veteran who turns to violent retribution in defense of the earth and its fauna. <em>Rage and Reason</em> is an unstoppable rollercoaster of action which explodes across four continents—a chief executive's severed head is served up at a stockholder's luncheon...a furrier is skinned alive...Thai poachers are deftly eliminated...and the first day of hunting season in the Maine woods is turned into a human massacre. <em>Rage and Reason</em> is as vivid a portrayal of the horrors of vivisection and the meat industry as Upton Sinclair's classic <em>The Jungle</em>.<br/>&quot;A terrific story, told from the heart, its soul rich with knowledge. Some people and corporations should lose sleep wondering if <em>Rage &amp; Reason</em> will ever become a real life thriller for them.&quot;—Ingrid E. Newkirk, President, PETA—People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals<br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[The donkey (Equus asinus) is both ancient and mysterious and is called by many names: donkey, burro, wild jack, hinny, and ass. Donkeys and their relative, the mule (a donkey/horse cross), have lived with humans for thousands of years. References to mules date back at least 3,000 years. In the Bible, Genesis 36:24 refers to the mules in the wilderness. In Homer's Odyssey a mule cart transports Princess Nausicaa to the seashore. Mohammed rode upon a mule into battle. Jesus' family on a donkey during the flight into Egypt was a favorite subject of Renaissance painters. By the time of Don Quixote, the donkey was one of the most beloved animals in all of European literature. In Cervantes, the donkey is stubborn and faithful, loving and intelligent. Today, the humble and elegant donkey is becoming a popular companion animal. In the Western states, one can see donkeys grazing peacefully alongside horses on private land. Miniature donkeys are especially popular pets. There is also a growing awareness of donkey abuse and neglect, and donkey rescue societies have sprung up to offer aid. Along with wild horses, wild burros are part of America's heritage. Complete with history, lore, science, ecology, and inspirational stories celebrating the spiritual bond between humans and donkeys, Donkey: The Mystique of Equus Asinus expresses the joy that these saintly creatures with big, furry ears bring to our lives.]]>

    <![CDATA[<em>A Day in the Life of India</em> is a visual time capsule capturing one of the world's most fascinating places. Some of the subcontinent's finest photographers and filmmakers devoted hundreds of hours of work to the project, fanning out across the country in search of the elements that define India. What they turn up is a veritable feast for the eyes: a woman adrift in a sea of crimson chilies; fishermen emptying their nets on a sun-drenched beach on India's eastern coast; a flower-strewn wedding in northern India. Each photograph is accompanied by an informative caption and tagged with a colored dot that corresponds with a small map showing where the picture was taken.  <p> <em>A Day in the Life of India</em> is a big, beautiful book that promises many hours of daydreaming about the subcontinent. If you like this armchair trip to India, consider the other titles in this series that chronicle a day in the life of Italy, America, Ireland, Thailand, and Israel.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[This ambitious book from author, producer and director Michael Tobias draws together the voices of 40 renowned documentary filmmakers from around the world.<p>These contributors shed unique light on contemporary culture and aesthetics, the filmmaker's commitment to the documentary form, and the documentary production process from concept to marketplace. They also probe provocative questions: What is reality in a documentary? Can and should there be objectivity in a documentary? What is the role of social advocacy in a documentary? How do new production technologies affect a documentary's message?<p>This is the first book that brings together an international roster of documentary filmmakers to speak about the very heart and soul of their art. It should prove to be an invaluable guide for both professionals and students, and will appeal to general filmgoers as well.</p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[The Adventures of Mr Marigold, Michael Tobias's 30th book, a modest tale, is nearest in nuance and thinking to the Middle Ages' voyage extraordinaire genre, to utopian realism of the Renaissance, and to 1930s French existentialism.  Tobias, who in addition to his many other books, has also written, directed and/or produced over 100 films. He is an internationally-renowned author and ecologist and has worked in over 50 countries. However, he feels most poetically at home in New Zealand, where his long-time friendship with Craig Potton - many of whose photographs illustrate the novel - has blossomed into this stunning collaboration.]]>

Taiwanese biotech billionaire Chairman Sin's ravishing heir-apparent, Violet, launches an expedition to search for a unique enzyme believed to exist in the heart of the original virus -- the ultimate antidote for the world's peculiar woes, if used properly.  But it is more than a mere molecule.  It is a monster whose habitat has been revealed in the newly erupted 100-mile wide volcanic cirque in Central Borneo.    <p>As the search team closes in on the creature, complications arise.  The organism has commandeered an entire ecosystem to ingeniously protect itself.  Species long deemed extinct come to life with a vengeance.</p>]]>
