History

Here are Eugene Epstein's most popular and endearing tales about the Swiss and their ways from his first two books ('Once Upon and Alp' and 'Lend Me Your Alphorn') that best depict his American/Swiss wry humor, keen observations and infectious sense of fun. 
He thought Zurich was not far from the Swiss capital of Stockholm when he first came to Switzerland, but with perseverance he even learned to pronounce Chuchichaeschtli, play Jass and feel the Foehn almost like a real Swiss. It may no longer be so difficult to lose your bicycle in Switzerland, but many of his observations of skiing, joining Swiss clubs, discovering fondue, learning Swiss-German, and other escapades still ring true and will keep readers giggling for another generation.

Swisscellany: Facts & Figures About Switzerland

Money Logging investigates what Gordon Brown has called probably the biggest environmental crime of our times the massive destruction of the Borneo rainforest by Malaysian loggers. Historian and campaigner Lukas Straumann goes in search not only of the lost forests and the people who used to call them home, but also the network of criminals who have earned billions through illegal timber sales and corruption. Straumann singles out Abdul Taib Mahmud, current governor of the Malay¬sian state of Sarawak, as the kingpin of this Asian timber mafia. Taib s family with the complicity of global financial institutions have profited to the tune of 15 billion US dollars. Money Logging is a story of a people who have lost their ancient paradise to a wasteland of oil palm plantations, pollution, and corruption and how they hope to take it back. Translated from German.
