Brought together by World War II, this is a true life story of a pilot and navigator in a two-man Mosquito bomber who flew 50 missions into war-torn Germany from September 1944 to March 1945.

The Last Stand of the Gorilla
Gorillas, the largest of the great apes, are under renewed threat across the Congo Basin from Nigeria to the Albertine Rift. Poaching for bushmeat, loss of habitat due to agricultural expansion, degradation of habitat from logging, mining and charcoal production are amongst these threats, in addition to natural epidemics such as ebola and the new risk of diseases passed from humans to gorillas. Alarmingly, parts of the region are experiencing intensified exploitation and logging of its forest, in some cases even within protected areas. In the DRC, many of these activities are controlled by militias illegally extracting natural resources such as gold, tin and coltan as well as producing charc...
Digit and the Gorillas of Rwanda
Ian Redmond knew Digit the gorilla intimately, having worked with Dian Fossey among the forrested volcanoes on the border of Rwanda and Zaire. It was he who found Digit after the young gorilla was killed by poachers. That killing led directly to a surge of conservation activity to save the species.

There’s something undoubtedly fascinating about our giant cousins, the magnificent mountain gorillas of Sub-Saharan Africa. It’s partially down to their sheer size — you can’t fail to be impressed by a creature that colossal. But there’s something deeper, more endearing. The combination of awesome strength with profound gentleness; the depth of their social bonds; their harmony with their environment; their vulnerability and their struggle to survive. Perhaps our fascination comes from us seeing in them what we wish we saw in ourselves?
Gorillas in the Mist
Dian Fossey's classic account of four gorilla families - one of the most important books ever written about our connection to the natural world For thirteen years Dian Fossey lived and worked with Uncle Bert, Flossie, Beethoven, Pantsy and Digit in the remote rain forests of the volcanic Virunga Mountains in Africa, establishing an unprecedented relationship with these shy and affectionate beasts. In her base camp, 10,000 feet above sea-level, she struggled daily with rain, loneliness and the ever-constant threat of poachers who slaughtered her beloved gorillas with horrifying ferocity. African adventure, personal quest and scientific study, GORILLAS IN THE MIST is a unique and intimate glimpse into a vanishing world and a vanishing species.
