Praise for Among the Pigeons
Meticulously researched, extraordinarily informative, and engagingly written.
John Read has given us a book that throws light on the highly controversial issue of indoor and outdoor cats.
It is a book for cat lovers, for those who care about the natural world, and for doctors.
I hope it will be translated into many languages and be incorporated into animal welfare and environmental curricula.
~ Jane Goodall
Absorbing and compelling, Among the Pigeons is wonderfully written and a great read – indeed should be a required read……..It will dramatically change public understanding of cats and how we should best relate to them.
~ Thomas E Lovejoy, George Mason University

Praise for Dear Grandpa, Why?
'This is a most unusual book but an insistently interesting one ... This book’s strongest virtue is in Read’s wrestling with the past and his initial desire for accountability over the death of his grandfather, giving way to something akin to forgiveness.' - ~ Christopher Bantick, Weekly Times
'This compelling book is written from the heart, and easily draws the reader in on the journey with Read seeking answers about his grandfather's sacrifice. I recommend it to all readers. It provides a personal entry-point for understanding the events that led to the war in the Pacific and raises many questions about what causes war and what we should do in the future to prevent such terrible loss and waste of life.' - ~ Helen Eddy, Read Plus
'Lovely and heart-warming story.'
~ Nic Klaassen, Flinders Ranges Research
'John L. Read's odyssey provides a historical insight into the cause of the war against Japan and a graphic portrayal of the cultural grief experienced by families who lost loved ones.' ~ Charlie Lynn, Kokoda Treks

Praise for Red Sand Green Heart
This book was a special treat-a story about a part of Australia few Australians understand...an exciting read that made me feel like decamping to the outback. ~James Woodford, Sydney Morning Herald Read can obviously spin a good yarn around the camp fire. His book is a mixture of rollicking anecdote and ecological explanation, combining tales of his adventure ... with discussions of the delicate of the delicate arid-zone environment of the desert around Lake Eyre. ~Lorien Kaye, The Age Red Sand, Green Heart is a book of anecdote, adventure and instruction. It is a piece of nature writing, accessible, rambling, lively and important ... The real desert is in there. So is our future. ~Mark Tredinnick, Canberra Times Red Sand, Green Heart is the rare insight of an ecologically educated writer with a flair for language and a passion for the environment. ~R.M. Williams, Outback Magazine This is a very useful book as well as being an enjoyable read ... it should be read by everyone at all interested in conserving the Australian outback. ~M. Kirton, The Aurora |
