Reseña del editor

In the middle of a Borneo rainforest, a band of near-naked Penan tribesmen, encouraged by an equally clothes-challenged renegade Swiss shepherd, hesitantly blockade a logging truck, testing their commitment to protect their forest home. Nearby, a researcher studying orangutans is threatened with being thrown out of her study site unless she can reach a delicate compromise with the powerful minister of the environment. Meanwhile, loggers are busy at work, devastating the rainforest. And rehabilitant orangutans are not playing nice. Time is running out, for the people and the orangutans who share this threatened environment. Who has the answer to saving the world’s oldest forest—the marketing experts of an international nature conservation group or the earnest monkey-wrenchers? At the heart of Redheads' black-humored fictional action lies the very real problem of rainforest destruction and the philosophical question of where the real boundaries lie between apes and humans. And just what is it about red silk underwear?

Biografía del autor

Paul Spencer Sochaczewski has written Share Your Journey, the five-book series Curious Encounters of the Human Kind, An Inordinate Fondness for Beetles, The Sultan and the Mermaid Queen, Soul of the Tiger (co-authored with Jeff McNeely), and other acclaimed books and some 600 bylined articles in leading international publications. He has lived and worked in more than 80 countries, including long stints actively involved in nature conservation in Southeast Asia. He created and was director of WWF’s global campaigns to protect tropical forests and biological diversity, helping to put these issues on the public agenda. He has other accomplishments that are mostly of such a dubious level of achievement that they are best left hidden from the general public ... although he is rather proud of the tomatoes he grows, his spaghetti carbonara and Indonesian fried rice, and his stubborn insistence on carrying his golf clubs.
