If you have arrived here and get something out of my writing, please consider ordering the trilogy of my ‘fictional’ novel series, Olduvai (PDF files; only $9.99 Canadian), via my website or the link below — the ‘profits’ of which help me to keep my internet presence alive and first book available in print (and is available via various online retailers).
Attempting a new payment system as I am contemplating shutting down my site in the future (given the ever-increasing costs to keep it running).
If you are interested in purchasing any of the 3 books individually or the trilogy, please try the link below indicating which book(s) you are purchasing.
Costs (Canadian dollars):
Book 1: $2.99
Book 2: $3.89
Book 3: $3.89
Trilogy: $9.99
Feel free to throw in a ‘tip’ on top of the base cost if you wish; perhaps by paying in U.S. dollars instead of Canadian. Every few cents/dollars helps…

In the Shadows of our Progress, the Pelicans of California Starve—A Harrowing Testament to the Devouring Maw of Industrial Greed
In the face of nature’s grim scene on the California coast, where the corpses and struggling forms of brown pelicans accumulate against a backdrop of society’s indifference, we are handed a stark revelation: our civilization is not just faltering, it is actively dismantling the very web of life that sustains it. Here lie the pelicans—emaciated, entangled in our refuse, discarded like the wrappers and cans we so carelessly toss aside—victims not just of an immediate crisis but of a deep, systemic failure that gnaws at the marrow of our environmental ethics.
We, the industrious apes, the oil-blooded, growth-addicted shapers of the Anthropocene, are watching the slow-motion collapse of biological networks that have thrived for millennia, and yet, what do we do? We turn away, obsess over technological fixes and market-based ‘solutions’ that further entrench the very causes of the ecological carnage we witness. Our oceans are not just water bodies; they are vast, pulsing entities, life-giving and life-taking, now bearing the brunt of our chemical effusions and thermal greed.
The pelicans—those majestic beings who should soar with the coastal winds—are instead plummeting in droves. Starvation? In a sea that teams with fish? It’s not just a natural anomaly; it’s a consequence of human actions. Fishing lines and hooks, remnants of our insatiable consumption, strangle and maim these birds, symbols of a planet under siege. Yet, as these creatures lay dying on our shores, the pervasive response is to shuffle paperwork, to make tepid gestures towards conservation, and then to continue the drilling, the fishing, the relentless extraction that underpins our very mode of life.
