The Beaver and the Bald Eagle: Reflections Across the World's Longest Undefended Border explores the growing divide between Canada and the United States—two nations that appear similar on the surface but are increasingly shaped by different values, institutions, and social contracts. Drawing on the author’s life on both sides of the border, a 22-year career with the United Nations, and original survey data, the book blends personal narrative with sharp comparative analysis.

​

Blending narrative storytelling with sharp analysis, the book examines everyday systems that quietly shape national character—health care, immigration, education, gun culture, inequality, climate policy, and democratic norms.  Neither polemic nor nostalgia, The Beaver and the Bald Eagle invites readers in both countries to step outside their own national assumptions. Canada is not portrayed as a utopia, nor the United States as a cautionary tale; both are presented as two ongoing experiments responding differently to similar circumstances. The result is a thoughtful, accessible meditation on identity, choice, and what these diverging paths may signal for the future of Western democracies.

The No Mammal Manifesto: Diet for a New and More Sustainable World is a clear-eyed and provocative exploration of how what we eat shapes our health, our environment, and our future. Drawing on medical research and ecological evidence, the book explains how consuming mammals—such as cows, pigs, and sheep—significantly increases the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and stroke, while placing unsustainable pressure on the planet’s most fragile ecosystems.

​

In an accessible, engaging style, Rogers makes the case that eliminating—or even simply reducing—mammals from our diet can deliver dramatic benefits. He shows how dietary shifts improve personal well-being, reduce environmental degradation, and help restore ecological balance, all without resorting to dogma or moral grandstanding. The book connects nutrition, climate, biodiversity, and economics into a single, compelling narrative about choice and consequence.

​

The No Mammal Manifesto is ultimately an invitation to rethink habits we take for granted. It challenges readers to consider not only the health and environmental logic of their food choices, but also the unique relationship humans share with mammals. Thought-provoking and practical, it argues that eating mammals—when we do not need to—makes little sense from the perspectives of health, sustainability, or common sense.

Filled with real-life anecdotes, candid recommendations, and answers to the most common travel questions, it demystifies the often-perplexing world of travel and reminds readers why we travel in the first place—not just to see the world, but to understand it.  Intrepid Travelers don't "do" countries, they experience them.

The Earth Summit: A Planetary Reckoning is a definitive account of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro—the largest gathering of political, environmental, and civic leaders the world had ever seen. Over two pivotal weeks, representatives from 178 countries came together to debate humanity’s environmental future, raising urgent questions that still resonate today: Was it too little, too late? What was truly achieved? And what paths remained open—or closed—after Rio?

​

Written by then–Earth News editor Adam Rogers, the book offers a clear and accessible guide to the Summit’s outcomes and significance. It explains the five official UN agreements alongside more than forty alternative treaties advanced by non-governmental organizations, capturing both the formal diplomacy and the parallel surge of civil society activism that defined the event. Key speeches from global figures—including Al Gore, George H. W. Bush, Fidel Castro, and the Dalai Lama—are highlighted to illuminate the political and moral stakes at play.

​

More than a policy chronicle, The Earth Summit: A Planetary Reckoning presents the Rio conference through multiple lenses: youth, Indigenous peoples, scientists, business leaders, politicians, and citizen activists. With a foreword by UNEP’s Noel Brown and an afterword by renowned Canadian scientist David Suzuki, the book offers a sober reflection on global environmental governance—and a reminder of how much still depends on turning ambition into action.
