Book excerpt: An engrossing, adventure-filled account of the rush to discover and save Vietnam's most extraordinary animals Deep in the jungle where the borders of Vietnam meet those of Laos and Cambodia is a region known as "the lost world." Large mammals never seen before by Western science have popped up frequently in these mountains in the last decade, including a half-goat/half-ox, a deer that barks, and a close relative of the nearly extinct Javan rhino. In an age when scientists are excited by discovering a new kind of tube worm, the thought of finding and naming a new large terrestrial mammal is astonishing, and wildlife biologists from all over the world are flocking to this dangerous region. The result is a race between preservation and destruction. Containing research gathered from famous biologists, conservationists, indigenous peoples, former POWs, ex-Viet Cong, and the first U.S. ambassador to Vietnam since the war's end, Gold Rush in the Jungle goes deep into the valleys, hills, and hollows of Vietnam to explore the research, the international trade in endangered species, the lingering effects of Agent Orange, and the effort of a handful of biologists to save the world's rarest animals.

Book excerpt: When young Jim Richards left the army to make to chase a dream, he had no language skills, no money and no idea, just the kind of gold lust that has driven fortune hunters throughout history. And when he struck gold and diamonds in the remote rivers of Guyana, his problems and his success grew in equal measure. Jim Richards has done it all: dived for diamonds in the piranha-infested rivers of South America; discovered a fabulously rich goldmine in the Australian outback; got caught up in the world's biggest mining scam in Indonesia; and even started a gold rush in the war-torn jungles of Laos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have read through this book and am really inspired by all the works that Dr. Mueller has done for the Karen hill tribe. The works and experiences that he had with the Karen people in the Karen State are tremendously amazing. This book will bring great understanding for people and foreigners who want to help out, especially those who are sympathetic to the causes and needy people who still lack many things. I enjoyed reading this book. It was a blessing to us Karens that we had someone like Dr. Mueller who helped to bring humanitarian assistance to the remote areas in order to spread the gospel and make things better for others. I deeply thank him for all the works that he has done for our Karen people and other ethnic groups. -Major General Ner Dah Bo Mya, Chief of Staff, Karen National Defense Organization Dr. Larry Mueller is a pioneering physician who has the longest and most in-depth experience of any medical professional who served in the conflict areas of Burma. He donated significant professional time over twenty-five years serving in the Thai-Burmese border areas. Whether directly treating IDPs (internally displaced persons), or refugees in the border zones with his surgical skill, or training medics, he has been the most revered doctor in these areas and is considered an angel. Dr. Mueller is a brilliant surgeon who is flexible, inventive, and, above all, able to operate successfully in remote locations with very little support. Through his own surgeries and the training that he has imparted to our medics, Dr. Mueller has saved hundreds of lives and had a direct impact on healing and improving the lives of thousands more. -David Eubank, Founder and Director, Free Burma Rangers (www.freeburmarangers.org)
