Summary

Dangerous Hatchlings explores the fascinating world of young predators, examining how certain animals are equipped from birth with the instincts and abilities to hunt. The book focuses on species such as sharks, crocodiles, and venomous snakes, illuminating the interplay between innate behaviors and environmental factors in shaping their predatory skills. One intriguing fact is that some hatchlings exhibit complex hunting strategies without prior learning, suggesting a strong genetic component. Moreover, the book emphasizes that early life experiences significantly influence their development, highlighting the ongoing "nature versus nurture" debate in wildlife biology.

 
This book uniquely combines detailed case studies with broader ecological and evolutionary contexts. It progresses from foundational concepts like natural selection and predator-prey relationships to in-depth analyses of specific species and their hunting techniques. The approach emphasizes the importance of considering both genetic predispositions and environmental influences when studying animal behavior.

 
Ultimately, Dangerous Hatchlings offers valuable insights into the lives of these young predators and the conservation implications of understanding their early development.

FOREWORD by Caitanya Carana dasa, poet and copywriter  
I first met Jan in Malaysia in the summer of 2023, and I was immediately struck by his earnestness and sincerity. He was simultaneously down to earth and thoughtful - a most intriguing blend. This shines through in his writing.  
This is the first book written by Jan that I've read, and I must admit I have found it mesmerizing. His writing style captures the reader's attention and draws him into a deep analysis of life's journey.  
Anybody who reads this wonderful book can be assured of one thing - you'll think deeply about the meaning of life.  
I highly recommend this book for anyone who is on a quest to understand his purpose.  
Yours sincerely,

    Off the Road - A Modern-Day Walk...

    When Jack Hitt set out to walk the 500 miles from France to Santiago de Compostela, Spain, he submitted to the rigorous traditions of Europe's oldest form of packaged tour, a pilgrimage that has been walked by millions in the history of Christendom. 
 
 
 
Off the Road is an unforgettable exploration of the sites that people believe God once touched: the strange fortress said to contain the real secret Adam learned when he bit into the apple; the sites associated with the murderous monks known as the Knights Templar; and the places housing relics ranging from a vial of the Virgin Mary's milk to a sheet of Saint Bartholomew's skin. Along the way, Jack Hitt finds himself persevering by day and bunking down by night with an unlikely and colorful cast of fellow pilgrims—a Flemish film crew, a drunken gypsy, a draconian Belgian air force officer, a man who speaks no languages, a one-legged pilgrim, and a Welsh family with a mule. 
 
 
 
In the day-to-day grind of walking under a hot Spanish sun, Jack Hitt and his cohorts not only find occasional good meals and dry shelter but they also stumble upon some fresh ideas about old-time zealotry and modern belief. Off the Road is an engaging and witty travel memoir of an offbeat journey through history that turns into a provocative rethinking of the past.

    Mud Sweat and Beers - How Rugby...

    Forget everything you think you know about rugby and join us on the touchline of Warlingham Rugby Club as Steven Gauge leads out the 4th XV. Welcome to the world of mud, sweat and beers… 
Far away from the bright lights of international rugby, there is another version of the game played by ordinary blokes of all shapes, sizes and degrees of physical ability. Steven Gauge was the last person anyone would expect to find on a rugby field, being somewhat shorter than average, bespectacled and decidedly “unsporty”. But as a gentleman of a certain age when strange life choices are sometimes made, Steven chose to pick up a rugby ball and run with it. He discovered a hidden and hilarious world of convoluted nicknames, creative interpretations of the laws of the game and the inevitable, beer-related, post-match mayhem. But he also found a heartfelt sense of belonging and camaraderie of the kind that only a good, honest team sport can provide.  
“funny yet so true” - RUGBY WORLD 
 
“a ruck-load of laughs… one of those rarities in sports publishing: a humorous book which is genuinely funny… [Gauge] is able to recount in full, life in the casual nether reaches of British sport… made me laugh out loud.' - SPORTS JOURNALISTS' ASSOCIATION
