by Ralf C Buckley, James Guy Castley, Julianna Priskin, Augustina Barros, Fiona Clare Morrison, Zhong Linsheng
The effects of tourism on the ecology and natural environment of tourist destinations are hotly debated and research has expanded in the field of ecotourism and sustainability. This book considers the positive contributions that tourism can make to the conservation of global biodiversity by reviewing and analysing the economic and political contributions of tourism to conservation through establishment of private game and wildlife reserves, lodges and tourist facilities. Featuring 100 international case studies from private marine reserves to bird watching lodges, this book covers key topics including sources of capital and operational funding, corporate and organisational structure, marketing strategies, primary conservation outcomes and spin-off effects, links to public protected areas, future plans and global trends.

May 2023Sock on the Loose
by Julianna Mrena, Dorottya Szert-Szabó
There was once a sock. There was no other half. And there were a lot of problems with it anyway. Worn only occasionally, but mostly never. And it's no wonder, really.Julianna Mrena, the author of The Tale of the Little Sloth Who Wouldn't Go to Sleep, has this time put into rhyme the adventures of a lovable half pair of socks to show that there is a place in the world for everyone, where they are recognised and accepted for who they are. Dorottya Szert-Szabó's colourful, clownish pictures are a worthy companion to the text of the tale.

March 2014Lady Fortune
by Anne Stuart
Is he a half-mad court jester or a brilliant spy for the king? Lady Julianna knows this much for certain: He is no fool when it comes to the art of seduction. Nicholas Strangefellow is a scoundrel prized by King Henry himself—a court jester. Now sent to the wedding of the Earl of Fordham to entertain, but secretly under orders from the King to bring back a legendary chalice, Nicholas is a man on a mission that could easily be bollixed. Suddenly the chances of bollixing increase merrily when he meets irresistible Julianna, the widowed daughter of the bride-to-be. After a loveless arranged marriage, Julianna plans to join a convent. Yet she finds herself in wickedly provocative conversation with, of all men, the king’s mocking, ribald “wedding present” to the Earl. Nicholas—the jester, the fool, and a mere commoner, who immediately decides to seduce her while procuring the chalice for King Henry. What follows is a rollicking comedy, an intrigue spiced with villains and danger, but most of all, a tender and sexy romance. Nicholas is hardly the husband a noblewoman should choose, and when he’s faced with a choice between desire and betrayal, or loyalty to King and a comfortable life, he’ll have to confront the shocking truth. That he’s become a fool for love.

Fantasy & magical realism (Children's/YA)April 2024Hank Rattler and the Secret of the Cave of Kings
by Ardyth Brott
Magic powers of a single person don't work--unless they combine with those of others! Twelve-year-old Hank Rattler lives alone in his empty house in the countryside. Mrs. Plunkett lives next door and cares for him in the absence of his parents. Hank and his classmates, Ruby Basher and Sam Benedetto, win their Grade 8 Science Fair, and the prize is summer camp in the Rocky Mountains. Meeting up at the camp with three other science fair winners, Julianna Wong, Oz Solomon, and Zebi Little Crow, they get lost during a terrible storm while chased by a grizzly bear. They stumble into a hidden cave with walls covered in multiple drawings of dinosaur teeth. Hank and his friends use their small flashlights to move more deeply into the dark underground. They make their way into another cave where they discover Mascon, a 403-year-old seer. He knew they would find him, enabling him to send them on a quest into a secret valley where the world's last dinosaurs still lived. He gives each of them specially heightened powers of taste, touch, sight, hearing, and smell, as well as intuition-all which can keep them alive if they work together. Their incredible adventure leads them into battle with beasts they thought were extinct! They meet Golden Eyes, queen of the pterodactyls, whose mission is to keep them alive. But is she clever enough to help all six young explorers find the cave of kings and escape from the secret valley?
