WATCH THE TRAILER:
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which
I steal From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal.
What a great book…halfway through in a day and a half. Looking forward to event at Powerhouse Arena.

Hi,
My students thoroughly enjoyed your presentation at the Darien Library last evening, and I look forward to reading your book – which they bought for me.
Would you be interested in coming to speak here at DHS on Earth Day which is April 22? We might be able to provide a modest honorarium.
Looking forward to your reply,
Elissa Johnson

Paul,
I just had to add my name to the list of people who really enjoyed your book. I had a similar story about early education. I write novels of the ancient Maya, so the Peten is my jungle of choice. Your descriptions are masterful prose. You inspired me.
Outstanding work! And so needed considering the crises of the world jungles and their awesome diversity.

I just finished “Mother of God”. It is one of the most accurate depictions of jungle life I’ve read. I have spent many hours exploring the jungles of Samoa, Panama, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and many jungles in the US. You have viscerally captured the combination of awe and fear that would alternatively threaten to overwhelm me every time I ventured alone into those places. The jungles of the world must be protected if for no other reason than to allow future generations to experience those feelings. I’m sure there are some people so cold blooded, greedy and callus that no emotional appeal will sway them. But there are others in authority for who your book will provide the spark of enlightenment and hopefully will tilt them into action. Sincere thanks from a fellow jungle junky.

A great book. Just read a Dutch copy in one day. But during and afterwards it makes me sad because you wrote the same words others before also did. Humans are very capable to destroy their only home: Earth.
We al know it, but when will it stop?
When you met those men on your solo trip it was like two worlds almost collide but which one is the right one? Those men who might be kill you or you who could be a danger for those men? For me this was the best part of your book. Two worlds so close and so far away from each other. One world who will just live peacefully in their jungle and the other world who represents destruction.

Paul:
I just finished your book. Never before have I been so in love with a book as to read all the way to the very last end page and wish for more. Your book is outstanding and engrossing. Thank you and thank you for all you are doing with your team.

I wish I could express how very, very much I enjoyed your book, from all the encounters with the animals of the wild, to the sweet gentleness with which your discovery of the peoples and habitat you came to love, was alive on all the pages of your wonderful book.
Because of you, I am in love with Madre de Dios.
