Sandwiches Should Never Taste Like Cow Crap is a collection of accidental lessons from travel writer Dave Lowe. From his madcap overland journeys though Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, the horn of Africa, Nepal, India and the Maldives, Dave has learned: Don't ever wear black in India - If the gods are watching, smile back - Yak fur comes up easier than it goes down - If a rat runs over your foot, relax: you'll grow rich. After run ins with evil customs agents, Tatami Dragon Ladies, randy camels, Khmer Rouge soldiers, and more, could his size 13 shoes be spreading mayhem and chaos with every step? Only the Travel Gods know for sure. After reading his book, you won't be eating a sandwich without carefully scrutinizing the contents first.

alarmist (pre 2020): Someone who exaggerates a danger and so causes needless worry or panic. 
alarmist (post 2020): Someone who justifiably raises the alarm about a global danger to Earth's biosphere.\nHis research was urgent fifty years ago. Now, it’s critical.\nIn the early 1970s, budding Kiwi scientist Dave Lowe was posted at an atmospheric monitoring station on the wind-blasted southern coast of New Zealand’s North Island. On a shoestring salary he measured carbon in the atmosphere, collecting vital data towards what became one of the most important discoveries in modern science.\nWhat followed was a lifetime’s career marked by hope and despair. As realisation dawned of what his measurements meant for the future of the planet, Dave travelled the world to understand more about atmospheric gases, along the way programming some of the earliest computers, designing cutting-edge equipment and conducting experiments both dangerous and mind-numbingly dull. From the sandy beaches of California to the stark winters of West Germany, the mesas of the Rocky Mountains and an Atlantic voyage across the equator, Dave has faced down climate deniers, foot-dragging bureaucracy and widespread complacency to open people’s eyes to the effects of increasing fossil fuel emissions on our atmosphere.\nIn equal parts adventure and a warning, and with the wisdom and frustration of half a century behind him, The Alarmist is the exhilarating autobiography of a pioneering Kiwi scientist who has dedicated his life to sounding the alarm on climate change.
