Book Description
It's August 2014 when Claudio, almost thirty years old, decides to quit his stable job and take a year off to follow his greatest passion: travelling. He decides to travel from his hometown, Milano, to Indonesia, but there's a catch...he will achieve this without travelling by plane. He doesn't know yet that in the four years to come he will cross Asia twice more, always travelling overland, using all kinds of transport.He cannot even begin to imagine that he will make a living by working as a farmer in Mongolia, as an electrician in Australia and as a teacher in a Chinese public primary school.But above all, he does not expect that thousands of people will help him as he makes his way from one place to another, crossing borders on foot, meeting individuals whose input will change his life's direction forever.Vagabondiario (the WandererDiary) is a handpicked collection of anecdotes, events and fascinating experiences that Claudio recorded daily in a diary he kept during his four years of crossing Asia. Part of the proceeds from this book will be donated to Associazione culturale Tibetana, a non-for-profit organization. The Associazione Culturale Tibetana supports the "Tashi Orphan School" in Katmandu that provides care to orphans in the capital city of Nepal.Claudio Piani was born twice; the first time in Milan at "Buzzi" hospital on the 5th of August 1987, the second time in Quarto Oggiaro in the outskirts of northern Milan during August 2014 when he decided to change his life and start exploring the world. Two amazing lives, the first one spent on working as a basketball coach in his birthplace, Milan. His second life, travelling around the world, doing what was necessary to survive. According to a fortune teller, that Claudio met randomly in India, he will die in 2076.

Book Description
Charles Darwin called it "a little world within itself." Sailors referred to it as "Las Encantadas"- the enchanted islands. Lying in the eastern Pacific Ocean, straddling the equator off the west coast of South America, the Galágos is the most pristine archipelago to be found anywhere in the tropics. It is so remote, so untouched, that the act of wading ashore can make you feel like you are the first to do so. Yet the Galágos is far more than a wild paradise on earth-it is one of the most important sites in the history of science. Home to over 4,000 species native to its shores, around 40 percent of them endemic, the islands have often been called a "laboratory of evolution." The finches collected on the Galágos inspired Darwin's revolutionary theory of natural selection. In The Galágos, science writer Henry Nicholls offers a lively natural and human history of the archipelago, charting its course from deserted wilderness to biological testing ground and global ecotourism hot spot. Describing the island chain's fiery geological origins as well as our species' long history of interaction with the islands, he draws vivid portraits of the life forms found in the Galágos, capturing its awe-inspiring landscapes, understated flora, and stunning wildlife. Nicholls also reveals the immense challenges facing the islands, which must continually balance conservation and ever encroaching development. Beautifully weaving together natural history, evolutionary theory, and his own experience on the islands, Nicholls shows that the story of the Galágos is not merely an isolated concern, but reflects the future of our species' relationship with nature-and the fate of our planet.
