“Chateau Beyond Time is a rare find. Award-winning filmmaker, ecologist and prolific author Michael Tobias once again takes us on a fast and exhilarating journey, set in contemporary Europe. The author's vision of a quirky, compelling kingdom of peace leads relentlessly to an end that is actually the new beginning we've all been hoping and praying for.” — Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals and Animals Matter “Tobias's newest book, Chateau Beyond Time, is an environmental thriller, a Utopian novel that artfully blends fiction and facts, a page-turner with a plot so intricate and ingenious that I could not put it down until the final mystery revealed itself.” — Michael Pastore, Epublishersweekly.com

Chateau Beyond Time

The Adventures of Mr Marigold, Michael Tobias's 30th book, a modest tale, is nearest in nuance and thinking to the Middle Ages' voyage extraordinaire genre, to utopian realism of the Renaissance, and to 1930s French existentialism. Tobias, who in addition to his many other books, has also written, directed and/or produced over 100 films. He is an internationally-renowned author and ecologist and has worked in over 50 countries. However, he feels most poetically at home in New Zealand, where his long-time friendship with Craig Potton - many of whose photographs illustrate the novel - has blossomed into this stunning collaboration.

The Mountain Spirit

Michael Tobias' latest work of fiction is a shocking, breath-stopping political thriller which tracks the fury of an outraged ex-Special Forces veteran who turns to violent retribution in defense of the earth and its fauna. Rage and Reason is an unstoppable rollercoaster of action which explodes across four continents—a chief executive's severed head is served up at a stockholder's luncheon...a furrier is skinned alive...Thai poachers are deftly eliminated...and the first day of hunting season in the Maine woods is turned into a human massacre. Rage and Reason is as vivid a portrayal of the horrors of vivisection and the meat industry as Upton Sinclair's classic The Jungle. "A terrific story, told from the heart, its soul rich with knowledge. Some people and corporations should lose sleep wondering if Rage & Reason will ever become a real life thriller for them."—Ingrid E. Newkirk, President, PETA—People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals

Rage and Reason

Elizabeth Hughes

Bob Gillespie

If current world population trends were to continue, human numbers could more than double to 13 billion people by the end of this century. Given humanity's consumerist trends, with resulting global warming and the overall impact on vulnerable biodiversity and habitat, this would be ecologically disastrous! No Vacancy is that rare chronicle of sobering optimism in a world more accustomed to thinking about population as a dilemma with little hope of positive change. Family planning expert Bob Gillespie and renowned global ecologist, author and film director Michael Tobias journeyed the world in search of answers. This book reveals an exquisite window on remarkable events occurring in country after country where Tobias and Gillespie discovered changes that have resulted in smaller family sizes and the empowerment of women and children, while creating critical pathways towards ecological sustainability. From Iran, Mexico, Ghana and Nigeria, to countries across Western Europe, as well as the U.S., India, and Indonesia, No Vacancy paints an emotional, at times provocative, portrait of a global transformation; a fertility transition that may well prove to be one of the most important-and timely-ingredients in humanity's survival and the continuation of life on Earth.
