Ring of Fire
Based on the award-winning PBS documentary series, Ring of Fire is this first-person account of the adventures of two English brothers as they explore the astonishingly rich cultures of the Indonesian archipelago. Their fascinating odyssey began in 1972 with a 2,500-mile voyage through the fabled Spice Islands, in search of the Greater Bird of Paradise. A decade of further exploration followed, during which the brothers lived among the Asmat cannibals of Papua and the healers of Bali, came face-to-face with the man-eating dragons of Komodo, and encountered the elusive dream wanderers of Borneo. Amid impenetrable rain forests, erupting volcanoes and startling natural beauty, the brothers have captured on film and in words the story of one of the most captivating and intriguing explorations ever made.

Birds, Beasts and Flowers
In the pantheon of English literature, 'Birds, Beasts and Flowers' stands as a seminal work by D. H. Lawrence, reflecting an impassioned foray into the world of nature through the medium of poetry.

Lawrence and the Machine
When a vacancy appears in a house of university intellectuals in picturesque York, Massachusetts, graduate student Lawrence Cassidy jumps at the chance to rent. Soon, though, the disorienting dynamics of the house and its quirky inhabitants insidiously and irrevocably change the course of his life. Practical, conservative Lawrence's moral foundation begins to crack as he is quickly swept into the fold of eccentric scholars that challenges the core of his fundamental values. Eventually, the art of debate escalates to radical action, resulting in a brutal crime of social passion that no one can take back, and everything Lawrence once thought he knew is forever revolutionized. A darkly comic tale, Lawrence and the Machine explores how our internal and external worlds are shaped by the exhilarating and dangerous motivation and passion within all of us.
