Eccentric Explorers was Winner of the Biographycategory at the 2009 Indie Excellence Book Awards, California, USA. In this extensively researched book, the rich culture and history of Tibet are viewed through a rather special lens--through the eyes of ten wild and wacky adventurers, each bent on unlocking the strange riddles and secrets of Tibet.

The author indulges in the sport of tracking strange creatures to their lairs--including an unknown mammal in Bhutan, a very ugly waterbird in Cambodia, a bizarre primate in Borneo--and the highly dangerous Cassowary, in Australia. Not zoology--more like cryptozoology--coming face-to-face with near-mythical creatures.

Travels in the Tibetan World was winner of a Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Award for Best Travel Book (2003). Extreme travel author Michael Buckley sets off on a decade-long quest to explore the bizarre Tibetan world. Join him for a remarkable journey--encompassing sacred realms and skulduggery, chats with the Dalai Lama, and rough trips over snowbound passes.
