"A vertiginous, white-knuckled adventure through some of the most spectacular forests in the world." --Washington Post Meet the man who climbs trees for a living. In this adventure memoir, Aldred carries us with him across the globe and up to the top of these towering forest titans as he recalls his most memorable encounters with trees and their inhabitants. Every child knows the allure of climbing trees. But how many of us get to make a living at it, spending days observing nature from the canopies of stunning forests all around the world? As a wildlife cameraman for the BBC and National Geographic, James Aldred spends his working life high up in trees, poised to capture key moments in the lives of wild animals and birds. Aldred's climbs take him to the most incredible and majestic trees in existence. In Borneo, home to the tallest tropical rain forest on the planet, just getting a rope up into the 250-foot-tall trees is a challenge. In Venezuela, even body armor isn't guaranteed protection against the razor-sharp talons of a nesting Harpy Eagle. In Australia, the peace of being lulled to sleep in a hammock twenty-five stories above the ground-- after a grueling day of climbing and filming--is broken by a midnight storm that threatens to topple the tree. In this vivid account of memorable trees he has climbed ("Goliath," "Apollo," "Roaring Meg"), Aldred blends incredible stories of his adventures in the branches with a fascination for the majesty of trees to show us the joy of rising--literally--above the daily grind, up into the canopy of the forest.Binding Type: Paperback

It's quite obvious there's a problem internationally with electronic voting systems.
Format: Paperback
Anyone giving this less than 4 stars is trolling, there are a few typo's in the book but the information is important because it outlines the fraud and election stealing that has occurred in over 72 Countries according the whistle blower evidence outlined in the book from 12 Venezuelan whistle blowers involved in the creation of the source code used in our voting systems in All swing states and even non swing states like VA and NJ These 12 were taken into protective custody that worked directly in the creation of this source code that triggers during flash card transfers from Machine to location for uploading to the SOS and places like Edison. This is also used in conjunction with ES&S and after it's done the flash cards are destroyed eliminating any trace of fraud or audit ability to the process. Everyone needs to read this, and demand we remove any electronic voting device or machine from all precincts in order to have fair elections paper ballot and voter ID are a must.

All Americans need to read this!
Format: Paperback
Every American should read this timely book before the mid term elections! This is part of the evidence Tulsi Gabbard, in her role as Director of National Intelligence (DNI), referred to when she said during a Cabinet meeting with President Donald Trump in April 2025 that "we have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for a very long time, and vulnerable to exploitation to manipulate the results of the votes being cast." She made the remarks while advocating for a nationwide transition to paper ballots to restore public confidence in election integrity.

Great read, interesting, engaging, outstanding!
Format: Hardcover
Holland and Murray nailed it ! Outstanding work. I follow them on you tube and they bring you back in time with enthusiasm and knowledge. They genuinely love the subject matter and present it in a way that is not boring or too technical. In this book they call it as they see it and make you want to read more!

Now what?
Format: Hardcover
I am a student (not scholar) of WW II history mostly because of the many men and women in my family who served in this war. Holland and Murray bring a new experience to WW II reporting. We know that surrenders happened, and when and where. But this book gives the reader the "then what happened" ? and named individuals and told of their experiences while they struggled to figure out "what next?". They are lucky to be alive but confused as if they were experiencing an altogether new "battle" asking What shall we do? where shall we go, where will we be safe, how do we live now? This is a fascinating view of the joy and the terror and the miracle of having survived.

Interesting Accounts Of The Final Days Of The War
Format: Kindle
Enjoyed reading the detailed accounts of all the participants bringing the end of conflicts. Unconditional surrender was the guiding principle of the Allied forces.
