Monte Reel
"Between Man and Beast is a rip-snorting adventure story, shot through with intrigue and absorbing intellectual history. Monte Reel is a wonderful writer, and he makes an expert guide to Paul Du Chaillu's groundbreaking travels in the wilds of Africa and his equally treacherous journey through the scientific salons of 19th century London. By weaving Du Chaillu's pursuit of the gorilla with the debate over evolution, Reel has given us a true 'missing link' that connects exploration, science, and literature. Readers will embrace Du Chaillu and root for him every step of the way." Mitchell Zuckoff, Lost in Shangri La Hardcover and

 We have been eagerly awaiting Ozeki's new novel and have not been disappointed. Spanning the planet from Tokyo's Electric Town to Desolation Sound, British Columbia, and connected by the great Pacific gyres, A Tale for the Time Being tells the story of a diary washed ashore inside a Hello Kitty lunchbox and the profound effect it has on the woman who discovers it.

Matthew Goodman
 We've all heard of Nellie Bly, but what is the real story? Goodman's history within an adventure unveils the story of two young women journalists racing around the world - and racing out of the Victorian era. These trailblazing women had carved out careers in a male-dominated industry and through their adventure we gain an understanding of the times.
