When a game conservation idea, simmering in his mind for many years, finally demands recognition, Jason takes positive steps to initiate the scheme?s implemention. But, in spite of Jason?s determined enthusiasm, there are dangers afoot ? in the shape of unscrupulous ivory traders ? who wish to jeopardize the wildlife dream.

À propos de l?auteur
Born in Kenya in 1939, Jim Landells was educated at Nairobi?s Duke of York school. With school over, he served his compulsory time in the Kenya Regiment before going on to the Egerton College of Agriculture. Here he completed an Agricultural Diploma course. This was followed by terms of employment in various north Kenya cattle companies, where the association of wildlife with range cattle maintained his profound interest in natural history. In 1969 Jim migrated to Australia. While working in Australia?s Kimberley region he conceived the dream of game conservation ? in Australia ? by way of importing threatened wild animal species, particularly those from Africa, into Australia?s empty north. The idea has grown, and while it has not yet been realized in real terms, the story contained in this volume could, one day, become entirely credible. Jim is fortunate to be the father of two wonderful children.

Paperback. Kerry B Collison, Sid Harta Publishers. At a time when Australians are wavering in support of a proposed US-led invasion of Iraq, more than six hundred US Marines rotating on R & R in Bali suddenly disappear; then, Kuta erupts in a fireball and Australia falls into line with America's demand to become part of the 'Coalition of the Willing'. Based on indisputable fact, a step by step account of the Bali bombers, the rise of extremist Islamic militancy across Asia and what the future might hold when terror is unleashed on Australia's doorstep, 'Crescent Moon Rising' relates the rise of militant Islam across Asia and how the US and other foreign intelligence agencies missed opportunities to arrest not only the instigators of the September 11 attacks on the USA but also those who created the Jemaah Islamiyah and carried out the Bali bombings. The Bojinka Plot is uncovered in Manila but the US ridicules the contents found on a white Toshiba laptop discovered after an apartment fire. The computer files lay out an assassination plot against the Pope who would visit that week, and the detailed plan to hijack 11 aircraft and crash these into the World Trade Towers and other US targets. The timing of this event was January 1995. Paperback. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781921030390-SECONDHAND
