Costa Rica Nature Revealed in New Book (March 2005)

More than a simple collection of 32 essays, Monkeys Are Made of Chocolate is a testament to the wonder of life in all its countless guises, as seen through the eyes of a man with a gift for subtle discernment and a natural flair for storytelling. Teachers, travelers to Costa Rica, and those individuals who care about our environment will appreciate this book. "This book is perfect reading for every inquisitive traveler to Costa Rica," says Rob Rachowiecki, author of the first five editions of the Lonely Planet Costa Rica guidebook.
    In his new book, Jack Ewing delves into the mysterious and fascinating ways in which animals and plants-and people-interact with one another. Whether you are reading about monkeys and cacao (chocolate) plantations, huge snakes which always seem to come in pairs, the intelligent behavior of sloths, how toucans aren't quite as cute as they appear, or the ancient craft of boat building by digging out a tree trunk, you'll find this book is a treasure trove of Costa Rican life and natural history.
    Daniel Quinn, award-winning author of Ishmael, says, "Jack Ewing's thirty-year adventure in a Costa Rican jungle has produced a book full of infectious love and amazing lore."     Monkeys Are Made of Chocolate: Exotic and Unseen Costa Rica by Jack Ewing, foreword by Daniel Quinn ($18.95, ISBN 0-9658098-1-1; 240 pages with 16-page color photo album) is available at bookstores and from www.PixyJackPress.com
