Following the outcry of the mistreatment of orangutans at Malaysia's Melaka Zoo a book concentrates upon a small pro-active group of ape crusaders who are at the forefront of protecting orangutans.
The Ape Crusaders by Sean Whyte, who was instrumental in highlighting the conditions in the South-East Asian zoo takes the reader on an unrestrained photographic journey throughout Borneo showing for the first time the highs and lows of frontline orangutan conservation in action.
There have been 125,000 protected orangutans killed, captured or sold into the illegal wildlife trade over the past 40 years without a single prosecution.
Through no fault of its own the orangutan human's closest living relatives, will possibly become the first of the four remaining great apes to become extinct.
The Centre for Orangutan Protection (COP) started in 2007 and in less than four years has saved thousands of hectares of forest and rescued dozens of orangutans.

Making way for another oil palm plantation. Scenes like this are very common throughout much of Kalimantan. In many locations it is almost impossible to see rainforest in any direction. All wildlife either killed, captured or driven away.

Making way for new oil palm plantations. The ownership of palm oil companies is worldwide, but Malaysian companies are very prevalent in Indonesia while at the same time trying to look good in the media by claiming not to be causing deforestation in their own country.

'Yuck! The Things People Eat' Food Project - Nov 2010

Yuck! The Things People Eat
One man has made it his mission to taste disgusting delicacies around the world.
Neil Setchfield's 'Yuck! The Things People Eat' project has seen him try unusual foods ranging from fried songbird in Cambodia to pigs brain in the Philippines.
The artfully photographed results of his brave culinary journey have been collected in a book of the same name.
Neil explains: "A couple of years ago I was walking through a market in Cambodia when I came across a stall selling stir fried tarantulas. I took some photographs but they didn't really convey the reality of what was a huge bucket piled high with a crispy gelatinous mass of cooked black spiders. So I bought some, as you do, not really sure whether to eat or to photograph. In the end I did both - the spiders tasted mainly of the spicy sauce they were cooked in - but when I looked at them in all their gory detail through the camera with a macro lens I just knew I had a interesting project.
"The reaction to the photographs was just as inspiring. Whilst everyone back in London went "YUCK!", when I showed them the pictures, in Cambodia the natural response was "YUM!". Whilst one nation was appalled the other was just peckish. And this became the entire premise of the project, how differing cultures react to different types of food.
"But the spiders were just the beginning and now three years later I've eaten and photographed everything from wild grey squirrel in the north of England to roast guinea pig in Peru, from sheep's penis and black scorpion kebabs in China to kangaroos tail in Australia. And that's just a fraction of the whole.
"What I've come to realise is that some people somewhere will eat every single bit of every creature they can catch and cook - and someti...

Home of Jo Wood in Kingston, Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey, Britain - Jul 2010
In a bid to wash that Rolling Stone right out of her hair a soon to be divorced Jo Wood is selling up and moving on. She has put her expansive and eclectic home, Holmwood House in Kingston Hill, Surrey, on the market for GBP 13m. Despite the rock 'n' roll property being only being 12 miles from central London, Jo, 53, is keen to move to town following the official end of her 24-year marriage to Ronnie Wood. Famously, the Rolling Stone guitarist brought their two-and-a-half-decades together to an end when he started a fling with an 18-year-old waitress. That relationship may not have lasted but there is certainly not going back for Ronnie and Jo, who has keenly embraced the single life. In a bid to move on she has put the former family home, which over the years has been host to a number of lavish parties, up for sale.

The Disused Elevated Rail Track Set To Become New York's Prettiest Park
THE DISUSED ELEVATED RAIL TRACK SET TO BECOME NEW YORK'S PRETTIEST PARK
A disused railway track looks set to become one of the prettiest parks in New York.
The High Line in west Chelsea is being converted into a park including floating ponds, sundecks and lookout spots over the Hudson River and Manhattan.
The elevated former industrial line had become decrepit and overgrown but thanks to the support of wealthy benefactors and several famous names it is undergoing a transformation into an amazing green space.
With the first phase set to open to the public later this month (June), the park should span 22 blocks once it's all open in 2010.
Stretching 1.45 miles, up to 30ft high and only 60ft wide, the line runs along Manhattan's West Side, from Gansevoort Street, in the Meatpacking District, through Chelsea to 34th Street.
Having last carried freight in 1980, it was saved from demolition by former mayor Michael Bloomberg and has seen high-profile support from the likes of Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren, Susan Sarandon, Harvey Weinstein and Jerry Seinfeld.
With $50m needed to complete the project, a recent star-studded fundraising gala saw individuals donations of $10m each from media mogul Barry Diller, whose corporate headquarters overlooks the elevated tracks, and billionaire hedge-fund manager Philip Falcon...

Beginning her career as a dancer in traveling theatrical companies before debuting as a chorus girl on Broadway, Crawford signed a motion picture contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1925. In the 1930s, Crawford's fame rivaled, and later outlasted, that of MGM colleagues Norma Shearer and Greta Garbo. Crawford often played hard-working young women who find romance and success. These characters and stories were well received by Depression-era audiences and were popular with women. Crawford became one of Hollywood's most prominent movie stars, and one of the highest-paid women in the United States, but her films began losing money, and, by the end of the 1930s, she was labelled "box office poison". But her career gradually improved in the early 1940s, and she made a major comeback in 1945 by starring in Mildred Pierce, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. She would go on to receive Best Actress nominations for Possessed (1947) and Sudden Fear (1952). She continued to act in film and television throughout the 1950s and 1960s; she achieved box office success with the highly successful horror film Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? (1962), in which she starred alongside Bette Davis, her long-time rival.
