.Wild Swimming: 150 Hidden Dips in the Rivers, Lakes and Waterfalls of Britain by: Daniel Start April 21, 2008 There are very many things that I love about this book. So far I've had it a very short time and have already had an incredibly therapeutic swim, about 10 miles from where I have lived for over 20 years, which I had no idea was there. It was the most beautiful spot and the pub recommended in the book was such a find, being friendly, serving good beer and food, having a gorgeous wildflower garden and being over a thousand years old.

.The Open Cage: Ordeal of the Irian Jaya Hostages by: Daniel Start May 09, 1997 . This is one of the very best books ever written about West Papua! The author was the leader of a British-Indonesian zoologist expedition into the remote highlands of the Lorentz Nature Reseve. The entire team was kidnapped by OPM guerillas fighting for West Papuan independence, and held hostage for several months until being freed by the Indonesian army - minus the two Indonesian male members of the expedition who were executed by the OPM. This could easily have been turned into a shallow account of hardship and horror, but instead the author has used the experience to give us probably the most interesting and insightful account of West Papua ever. Rather than just concentrating on how the hostages themselves felt during ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on The Open Cage: Ordeal of the Irian Jaya Hostages |
