SAVE THE HUMANS
STEWART, ROB
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Beginning with a childhood spent catching poisonous snakes and chasing after alligators, Rob Stewart, the
award-winning documentary filmmaker behind Sharkwater, charts his development into one of the world's
leading environmental activists. Risking arrest and mafia reprisal in Costa Rica, nearly losing a leg in Panama
and getting lost at sea in the remote Galapagos Islands, Rob is living proof that the best way to create change in
the world is to dive in over your head. With his efforts to save sharks leading to tangible policy change in
countries around the world, Rob sets his sights on a slightly bigger goal: saving humanity. Criss-crossing the
globe to meet with the visionaries, entrepreneurs, scientists and children working to solve our environmental
crises, Rob's message is clear, the revolution to save humanity has started, the only thing missing is you!

THE SEARCH FOR ANNE PERRY
DRAYTON, JOANNE
In 1994, director Peter Jackson released the film Heavenly Creatures, based on a famous 1950s matricide
committed in New Zealand by two teenage girls embroiled in an obsessive relationship. This film launched
Jackson's international career. It also forever changed the life of Anne Perry, an award-winning, bestselling crime
writer, who at the time of the film's release was publically outed as Juliet Hulme, one of the murderers. A new
light was now cast, not only on Anne's life, but also her novels, which feature gruesome and violent deaths, and
confronting, dark issues including infanticide and incest. Acclaimed literary biographer, Joanne Drayton,
intersperses the story of Anne's life with an examination of her writing, drawing parallels between Anne's own
experiences and her characters and storylines. Anne's books deal with miscarriages of justice, family secrets
exposed, punishment, redemption and forgiveness, themes made all the more poignant in light of her past. Anne
has sold 25 million books worldwide and published in 15 different languages, yet she will now forever be known
as a murderer who became a writer of murder stories. Drayton was been given unparalleled access to Anne, her
friends, relatives, colleagues and archives to complete the book. The result is a compelling read which provides
an understanding of the girl Anne was, the adult she became, her compulsion to write and her view of the world.
