Pira Sudham's 1988 classic Monsoon Country NEW 2022 EDITION It is hard to overstate the impact that Pira's Monsoon Country had on the outside world when it was first published in 1988. Regarded as a classic by many, yet is was classic in a genre of just one novel. Pira Sudham and Monsoon Country are close to unique in so many ways. He wrote in the English and never published novels or short stories in his native Thai language. A justifiable comparison could be made to Joseph Conrad writing almost a century before. He came from a peasant family in the northeast, the country's poorest region where a third of Thailand's population live. With Monsoon Country there was suddenly an international v...

MOM is the mall operations manager -- the greatest intelligence in history, a machine awakened to self-awareness at a time when the last few human survivors have withdrawn to the last two remaining refuges on Earth. Quarantined from the global nanobot superorganism outside the malls and from each other inside, the mallsters are utterly dependent on MOM for everything -- including the only, ever-more suspect information they have about the world Outside. Now the malls are crumbling. Praise for MOM, Book 1 in the Magic Circles Series: "The extra-sensorial journey, the unspooling of the central mystery, and the story's moving climax are byyond mind-blowing" - Paul Dorsey, The Nation (Bangkok) "...
Magic Circles is back with book 2 in the series. A nanobot superorganism lays waste to the Earth. Is this the apocalypse? Or does the world's end harbor new beginnings? Life will always find a way. Though some ways are better than others. Evolution on steroids - the most significant development since inanimate matter first gave rise to life.

Annotation A general interest exploration of mammal evolution and the scientific history of major fossil discoveries, their discoverers, and changing ideas about these extinct "beasts."It's both a grand mystery and a Cinderella story: mammal origins were one of 19th-century science's major enigmas, and mammals outlasted the more abundant dinosaurs to give birth to us.

Each chapter discusses the increasingly international context of domestic environmental policies and explores some of the powerful interests and instituti...
