New Kindle Book Published

I have just published a new book in my SURFING A MAGICAL INTERNET series, Book 5: Wonders of the World. It presents nearly 100 of my Liebig pictures and associated stories. Right away, we meet the “seven wonders of the ancient world” of which, sadly, only the great pyramids of Egypt survive. But we can still visit the wonders of our own world, natural and man-made. We stand in awe before powerful volcanoes and geysers, amazing rock formations, and strange bridges that nature has built. We marvel at the beauty of giant caves and magnificent waterfalls, follow the paths of explorers through narrow waterways between the world’s oceans, enjoy the grandeur of fjords and the breathtaking splendor of mountain passes. We learn how people built seemingly impossible tunnels through the Alps, view colossal statues from ancient and modern times, inspect the ruins of lost cities and civilizations. Are nature’s works longer lasting? We examine the question by looking at lights in our sky: the sun and the moon, comets, rainbows, mirages and more.

New eBook: Remarkable Animals

Would you believe that there is an animal on earth, even now, that is 165 feet long? That some crabs can live to be 100 years old? That a green sea turtle might reach a weight of almost 900 pounds? That it takes 100,000 cochineal beetles to produce a single kilogram of dye typically used for lipstick coloring (and, in days long past, for the red coats of British soldiers attempting to put down the American Revolution)? That a resinous mixture produced by honey bees gives the Stradivarius violin its unique color? That llamas make excellent livestock guards? That caribous migrate over more than 3,000 miles a year? That jellyfish (which are no fish at all) have been around for possibly 700 million years and are the oldest multi-organ animal? That some silkworms can spin bullet-proof silk or might soon become space food for long missions by astronauts?

This and many other stories appear in Remarkable Animals, which is Book 4 of my series SURFING A MAGICAL INTERNET.
