Darryl Jones is fascinated by bird feeders. Not the containers supplying food to our winged friends, but the people who fill the containers. Why do people do this? Jones asks in The Birds at My Table. Does the food even benefit the birds? What are the unintended consequences of providing additional food to our winged friends? Jones takes us on a wild flight through the history of bird feeding. He pinpoints the highs and lows of the practice. And he ponders this odd but seriously popular form of interaction between humans and wild animals. Most important, he points out that we know very little about the impact of feeding birds despite millions of people doing it every day. Unerringly, Jones digs at the deeper issues and questions, and he raises our awareness of the things we don't yet know and why we really should. Using the latest scientific findings, The Birds at My Table takes a global swoop from 30,000 feet down to the backyard bird feeder and pushes our understanding of the many aspects of bird feeding back up to new heights.
A Clouded Leopard in the Middle of the Road is an eye-opening introduction to the ecological impacts of roads. Drawing on over ten years of active engagement in the field of road ecology, Darryl Jones sheds light on the challenges roads pose to wildlife—and the solutions taken to address them. One of the most ubiquitous indicators of human activity, roads typically promise development and prosperity. Yet they carry with them the threat of disruption to both human and animal lives. Jones surveys the myriad, innovative ways stakeholders across the world have sought to reduce animal-vehicle collisions and minimize road-crossing risks for wildlife, including efforts undertaken at the famed fauna overpasses of Banff National Park, the Singapore Eco-Link, "tunnels of love" in the Australian Alps, and others. Along the way, he acquaints readers with concepts and research in road ecology, describing the field's origins and future directions. Engaging and accessible, A Clouded Leopard in the Middle of the Road brings to the foreground an often-overlooked facet of humanity's footprint on earth.

Everyone has a double, but the life of a local bootlegger in prohibition era New Orleans becomes an adventure that spans the globe once Al Capone discovers that he looks just like the infamous Mafioso Lucky Luciano. Johnny Cado is the UnLucky Double who becomes the target of assassination attempts on Luciano's life, until he finds an opportunity to flee with his wife, and the mob's money. The opportunity came while on an assignment with Bugsy Siegel to negotiate a deal with Mussolini to trade stolen arms for the use of Italian ports for smuggling drugs. Life is temporary much better for Johnny and his wife, Angila, while they were living in Paris under assumed names, but things changed for the worse when the German Nazis invade and occupy France. The drama continues when Cado and his wife are arrested for assisting the French Underground smuggle stranded British airmen out of occupied France. Spared the death penalty, the Cados are forced to participate in gruesome medical research programs in Dachau, Germany. Although Johnny Cado and his wife, Angila, are fictional characters, their story is intertwined with real historical characters and events. Since truth is stranger than fiction, the cruel Nazi atrocities and gruesome experiments described in this book are historically accurate. If you enjoy historical fiction, organized crime stories, World War II stories, drama and romance, I believe that you will enjoy this book. -Darryl Breland

No contemporary figure is more demonized than the Islamist foreign fighter who wages jihad around the world. Spreading violence, disregarding national borders, and rejecting secular norms, so-called jihadists seem opposed to universalism itself. In a radical departure from conventional wisdom on the topic, The Universal Enemy argues that transnational jihadists are engaged in their own form of universalism: these fighters struggle to realize an Islamist vision directed at all of humanity, transcending racial and cultural difference. Anthropologist and attorney Darryl Li reconceptualizes jihad as armed transnational solidarity under conditions of American empire, revisiting a pivotal moment after the Cold War when ethnic cleansing in the Balkans dominated global headlines. Muslim volunteers came from distant lands to fight in Bosnia-Herzegovina alongside their co-religionists, offering themselves as an alternative to the US-led international community. Li highlights the parallels and overlaps between transnational jihads and other universalisms such as the War on Terror, United Nations peacekeeping, and socialist Non-Alignment. Developed from more than a decade of research with former fighters in a half-dozen countries, The Universal Enemy explores the relationship between jihad and American empire to shed critical light on both.

Following on from the award winning spoof biography, also available in this format: - America Loves Bill Bryson, Sex, Pornography and Lothario Dennis Fish, this second instalment of the award winning Dennis Fish Trilogy has our hero chancing his arm at an audacious tilt to become an elected member for Parliament at the upcoming General Election. Aided by Texan 'pit bull' Bubba Zendowski, a brutal and battle hardened America political campaigner, who is head hunted to lead his team, Dennis, an instant Anti-Propaganda 'man of the people' launches his election bid in no less a place than the own backyard of incumbent Prime Minister David Chameleon. To further complicate matters, reptilian- faced, UQUIP master of the dark arts, Neil Lefarge is also standing on the same ballot, in the same West Oxfordshire constituency of Withey.
