The magic and misfortune of the world's greatest migrating bird. Albatross are best known for their enormous wingspan and global migrations. They are also the subject of intense scientific scrutiny. Recent DNA studies have revealed that there may not be just 13, but 21 to 25 albatross species. With all but two of them endangered, the albatross may disappear just as we are discovering more about it. Tui De Roy and Mark Jones set out in a 43-foot sailboat to cross the world's oceans in search of the albatross.

Albatross features the very best writing and research on these extraordinary creatures. The book includes a breathtaking photographic portfolio, a series of essays by leading experts, and a natural history section with detailed information on each species. Along with commentary on the authors' adventures, topics include: Size and population distribution Biology and recent DNA discoveries Food and reproduction Breeding sites and courtship behavior Albatross in exploration, exploitation, myth and legend Migratory routes and the mysteries of migration Conservation threats and status. Albatross is an impassioned, authoritative and richly illustrated study of a magnificent creature.

Accused of being a terrorist, a fugitive physicist takes flight in a gritty future world where the government has gone insane. Rob MacAulay has followed the flight of seabirds all his life, as well as the elusive nature of quantum field theory. He is a brilliant physicist, famed for solving the Unity Theory, a tall, gentle man with glasses and a tweed jacket. And he is framed as a terrorist. Now, on the run from the police and under the steamroller of politics, MacAulay is on a flight of his own. As the EU fractures around him, MacAulay learns that his scientific reputation means little when the world is out to get him. Thomas Heddiman, technical consultant with the police, finds himself both running with the fox and hunting with the hounds as he pursues MacAulay. But the tall, gentle physicist is an odd bird...and capturing him doesn’t go as planned. Award winning author R.A. MacAvoy (Tea with the Black Dragon, The Book of Kells) joins with artist and storyteller Nancy Palmer to present a tale of the possible future: human anger, human compassion, and a man who turns out to be a very unusual bird indeed.

The Flag and The Albatross is the story of the last eight months in the life of the USS Regulus (AF-57), a life ended by Typhoon Rose in Hong Kong. It begins with the ship getting a new, possibly unqualified captain, and two minor events which some superstitious in the crew think portend a dark future. In the following months, the Regulus provides exemplary services to the ships operating off the coast of Vietnam in support of the war. By pure chance it also just misses encounters with two typhoons; lucky, yes, but the captain becomes complacent. As the Regulus nears the end of its six-month deployment, it is scheduled for an R & R visit to Hong Kong. Unfortunately, Typhoon Rose also plans to make a visit there at the same time. The initial storm tracks show Rose missing the city, but as time passes, the track keeps changing and the threat increases. Finally, it is clear that Rose will hit Hong Kong, but the captain refuses all recommendations to evacuate and the ship remains at anchor. On the night of August 21, 1971 Typhoon Rose slams into Hong Kong – one of the strongest storms ever to hit the city. Her eye passes directly over the Regulus, and 160 mph winds and 40 foot seas wreck the ship on an uninhabited island. The Flag and The Albatross tells the story of the months leading up to the shipwreck, events during the storm’s encounter with the city and the ship, and what happens thereafter. The author was the Executive Officer (second in command) during this period.
