Sinossi

"Worlds Rarest Animals" explores the urgent issue of endangered species and biodiversity conservation by examining the lives of creatures on the brink. It highlights how the decline of these rare animals, such as the elusive Saola, serves as a crucial indicator of our planet's overall ecosystem health. The book emphasizes the threats these animals face, including habitat loss and unsustainable resource use, while also detailing ongoing conservation efforts. This book uniquely brings often-overlooked species into focus, using their individual stories to illuminate broader ecological issues. For instance, the plight of the vaquita, the world’s smallest porpoise, reveals the deadly consequences of unsustainable fishing practices. Through scientific studies, field research, and interviews with conservationists, "Worlds Rarest Animals" offers an up-to-date account of each species' status.

 
The book begins by introducing the concept of rarity in nature and is then divided into sections focusing on different ecosystems—rainforests, oceans, deserts, and polar regions—with individual species serving as case studies. Concluding chapters examine current conservation initiatives and the future of biodiversity, providing a comprehensive overview accessible to a wide audience interested in nature and science.

    Having flown an astonishing 400 different aircraft, as a licensed Category 1 test pilot and flight test instructor for both airplanes and helicopters, Chris Taylor is arguably one of the best qualified and widely experienced test pilots working today anywhere in the world. 
     
    After obtaining his private pilot’s license at the age of 17, Chris began his service flying career with the Royal Navy. He flew Wasp and Lynx helicopters from warships around the world under all kinds of circumstances. 
     
    After five years instructing, he then became a test pilot flying numerous types of experimental aircraft for research and development purposes, before returning to the Empire Test Pilot’s School as a tutor. Having served at Boscombe Down for 10 years, he joined the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority as an airplane and rotorcraft test pilot. With the closure of the CAA’s Flight Test Department, he went on to form his own company and has continued to test fly a wide variety of aircraft ever since. 
     
    Rather than the usual cutting-edge fast jets one associates with test pilots, Chris Taylor’s book covers general aviation aircraft, including testing homebuilt airplanes, helicopters and autogyros. It also features the testing of ex-military jets and warbirds such as the Fieseler Storch, Sea Fury, Spitfire and the Mustang. 
     
    As the author is someone who teaches test pilots how to become flight test instructors, the reader is privileged to be able to share in the ups and downs of aviation testing with one of the foremost test pilots of his era. Somehow, he still manages to find time to be a helicopter examiner and instructor for helicopters, airplanes and autogyros. 
     
    While Test Pilot will appeal to pilots of every era, it is aimed at the general reader who will be taken on a journey across the skies in almost every conceivable type of civil aircraft involving almost every imaginable flying incident.

    FORREST GUMP 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY ROBERT ZEMECKIS 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Forrest Gump is a heartwarming drama about a kind-hearted man from Alabama with a low IQ who inadvertently influences several major historical events in the 20th century. The film follows Forrest’s extraordinary life, from his childhood with a loving mother to his experiences as a college football star, soldier in Vietnam, ping-pong champion, and shrimp boat captain. The film explores themes of destiny, love, perseverance, and the unpredictability of life, while highlighting the impact of historical events. Told from Forrest’s unique perspective, it combines humor, drama, and emotional depth, reflecting the power of human resilience and simplicity. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Tom Hanks was not paid for this film. Instead, he took percentage points, which ultimately netted him around $40 million.” 
      
    “The line, "My name is Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump," was ad-libbed by Tom Hanks during filming. Director Robert Zemeckis liked it so much that he decided to keep it in.” 
      
    “With every transition of Forrest's age, one thing remains the same: in the first scene of each transition, he wears a blue plaid shirt.” 
      
    “Tom Hanks' younger brother, Jim Hanks, doubled for him during many of his numerous running sequences.” 
      
    “The necklace worn by Lieutenant Dan is a rosary with a Saint Christopher medal, inscribed "Protect Us In Combat." It was worn in Vietnam by Gary Sinise's brother-in-law, Jack Treese, in 1967-68.”
