Part travelogue, part history, and part environmental treatise, Mekong The Occluding River is above all else an urgent warning that factors such as pollution, ecological devastation, and the depletion of natural resources are threatening the very existence of the Mekong River. Author Ngo The Vinh combines his vivid travel notes and collection of photographs with a meticulously researched history of the environmental degradation of the Mekong River. Translated from Vietnamese, the best-selling treatise outlines the myriad threats facing the river today. From oil shipments feeding the industrial cities of southwestern China to gigantic hydroelectric dams known as the Mekong Cascades in Yunnan province, China is the worst environmental offender, though the other nations along Mekongs banks behave no better. From Thailand to Laos to Vietnam, hydroelectric dams that threaten the Mekong and its inhabitants are being built at an alarming rate. To save the Mekong, Ngo The Vinh calls upon all the nations that benefit from its life-giving water to observe the Spirit of the Mekong in the implementation of all future development projects. To achieve this end, there must be a concerted and sustained commitment to cooperation and sustainability. At this critical cross-roads, we should remind ourselves of the mantra from Sea World San Diego: Extinction is forever. Endangered means we still have time.

Mekong Dòng Sông Nghẽn Mạch / Mekong The Occluding River - Bilingual Edition (Vietnamese/English) by Ngo The Vinh, May 28, 2021 Bác sĩ Ngô Thế Vinh từ lâu đã quan tâm sâu xa tới các biện pháp bảo vệ hệ sinh thái Sông Mekong và Đồng Bằng Sông Cửu Long. Ông đã thu thập một khối lượng dữ kiện quý giá liên quan tới con Sông Mekong dài hơn 4,800 km bắt nguồn từ Cao nguyên Tây Tạng chảy ra tới Biển Đông. Rất nhiều bài viết tâm huyết của ông đã cung cấp cho bạn đọc trong nước Việt Nam cũng như ở hải ngoại những thông tin hữu ích về chuỗi các con đập thuỷ điện khổng lồ Vân Nam cùng với những ảnh hưởng tác hại ra sao trên đời sống của bao nhiêu triệu cư dân ven sông. Ông không ngừng tạo sự quan tâm tới vấn đề này không chỉ ở Việt Nam mà cả với dư luận quốc tế. Đáp ứng sự khẩn trương ấy, ông cũng đã hoàn tất một cuốn ký sự có tên "Mekong - Dòng Sông Nghẽn Mạch" là những ghi nhận sống động về những trải nghiệm trong suốt cuộc hành trình dọc theo con Sông Mekong. Bác sĩ Vinh tuy không sống ở Việt Nam nhưng trái tim và trí tuệ ông vẫn luôn luôn gắn bó với sinh mệnh của dòng sông Mekong - Cửu Long. ... Dr. Ngô Thế Vinh is deeply interested in measures that protect the ecosystem of the Mekong and the Mekong Delta. He has collected a wealth of precious data concerning the more than 4,800m kilometer long Mekong current flowing from Tibet to the East Sea. Many of his articles written with a heartfelt style have been published to provide readers in Vietnam as well as overseas with useful information concerning not only the early construction stages of the dams in the Mekong Cascades of Yunnan but also about the calamities that the 14 dams in this Cascades may wreak on that river's ecology affecting the tens of millions of people who inhabit its banks. Therefore, in his articles he never tires of drawing the attention of the Vietnamese as well as international public opinion to this issue. To add urgency to it, he recently authored a travelogue named "Mekong - The Occluding River" to record his experience during his travels along the Mekong's current. Dr. Vinh does not live in Vietnam. Nevertheless, his heart and mind are inextricably anchored to the bed of his river. Prof. VÕ TÒNG XUÂN Rector Emeritus, An Giang University, Vietnam

In 1938, on the eve of war, a Nazi expedition set out through British India on a mission sponsored by Himmler himself. Their aim was to find the roots of the Aryan people, high in the sacred mountains of Tibet. It was led by two complex individuals - one, Ernst Schafer, a swashbuckling naturalist who was using the Nazis to pursue his own ends, the other, Bruno Beger, so committed to the cause he ended up conducting experiments on prisoners in Auschwitz. The expedition quickly found itself battling hostility from the British, being manipulated by the Tibetans and struggling with the primitive conditions of Lhasa. Every step was recorded in diaries, letters and reports back to Delhi and London by the suspicious British, and to Berlin by the Germans. It was also documented in masses of extraordinary photographs, many of which are reproduced here.
