1. The Beast In The Clouds
In 1928, Theodore Roosevelt’s sons led a scientific expedition into the Himalayas and Tibetan borderlands to search for the elusive panda.

The book blends exploration, natural history, and the challenges of early conservation efforts.

The Untold Story of the Women Who Transformed the World of Disney and Made Cinematic History

The book interweaves biographical sketches with studio history to show how these artists—across continents and decades—developed new techniques, fought for professional recognition, and built a legacy that changed the animation industry and opened doors for future generations.
