"In 'HOLD THE ENLIGHTENMENT', one of America's favourite and funniest adventure writer returns with his most entertaining collection of essays yet as he travels the globe and faces down challenges that are animal, topographical - and human. 'HOLD THE ENLIGHTENMENT' takes Cahill to sites as far-flung as Saharan salt mines, the Congolese jungle, and Hanford, Washington, home of the largest toxic waste dump in the Western Hemisphere. With trademark wit and insight, Cahill describes stalking the legendary Caspian tiger in the mountains bordering Iraq, slogging through a pitch-black Australian Eucalyptus forest to find the nocturnal platypus, diving with great white sharks in South Africa, staving off enlightenment at a yoga retreat in Negril, Jamaica, and much, much more. In these essays, vivid and masterly storytelling combine with outrageously sly humour and jolts of real emotion to show one of the most popular journalists of our time at the peak of his game"

Winter in Yellowstone National Park is a powerful and enchanting season, marked by super-heated water erupting into frigid air and wildlife struggling for survival amid the snow. Photographer Tom Murphy has uniquely captured this wilderness, skiing deep into the backcountry with heavy camera gear, a resilience to the cold, and an artist’s eye. His work reveals a majestic landscape where clean, clear air allows a wolf’s howl to echo for miles. In "Silence & Yellowstone’s Winter Wilderness," 130 stunning photographs showcase the splendor and intensity of Yellowstone's harsh winter. Through these images, we gain insight into the lives of wildlife enduring the cold, feel the inspiring power of an untamed landscape, and appreciate nature’s beauty in both grand and subtle forms. Murphy’s thoughtful captions enhance the experience, allowing us to smile at a fox hunting for a mouse, understand the stoic presence of bison in geothermal steam, and marvel at fleeting moments of light that transform ordinary scenes into breathtaking vistas. As noted by author Tim Cahill in his foreword, Murphy’s work reflects a deep passion and knowledge, making these photographs not only visually stunning but also wise and insightful.
Elégants, joueurs et sociables, les dauphins ne cessent de nous fasciner. Figurant parmi les animaux les plus évolués de la Terre, ils possèdent des moyens de communication sophistiqués, manifestent des comportements et une vie sociale qui éveillent notre curiosité. Des photographies aussi émouvantes que spectaculaires, ainsi que le brillant texte de Tim Cahill brossent un portrait de ces mammifères marins attachants, et nous permettent d'appréhender l'univers des dauphins dans toute sa complexité. L'auteur Tim Cahill nous fait découvrir la vie et la carrière de trois scientifiques faisant autorité dans le domaine de la cétologie : Kathleen Dudzinski, jeune chercheuse qui étudie la communication chez les dauphins ; Alejandro Acevedo-Gutiérrez, spécialisé dans le comportement alimentaire des dauphins ; ainsi que leur mentor, Bernd Würsig, qui doit sa réputation internationale à ses travaux sur les dauphins de Patagonie. Ils nous entraînent dans leur fascinante aventure subaquatique, partageant avec nous leur riche expérience, explorant les difficultés inévitables liées à l'étude des dauphins dans leur milieu naturel, mais aussi les fruits qu'ils en recueillent. Ils nous dévoilent un monde sous-marin d'une étonnante diversité, dans lequel le minuscule plancton et les délicates méduses cohabitent avec les animaux les plus gros et les plus puissants de la planète, les cétacés.
