Cowell Simon

    Autor kedysi pôsobil v medzinárodnom finančníctve, ale jeho celoživotnou vášňou sa stala ochrana divokej prírody a miest, od ktorých závisí naša ekológia a prežitie. Opustil teda svoj oblek a kufrík, aby sa mohol venovať zakladaniu organizácií, ktoré nielen liečia zranené zvieratá, ale predovšetkým sa snažia vzdelávať, presadzovať a kampaňami meniť postoje a myslenie ľudí. Jeho pôvodný skromný nápad na centrum divokej prírody sa rozvinul do celosvetovo známej organizácie s vlastným televíznym seriálom, čo mu umožnilo získať obrovské množstvo pozornosti a popularity. Teraz sa autor sústreďuje na svoj najväčší projekt, ktorým je vytvorenie britského centra pre ochranu zvierat a vzdelávanie.

      I Don't Mean To Be Rude, But...
    • Simon Cowell, founder of Surrey-based animal rescue centre, Wildlife Aid, has brought to life a story which he first began writing some 20 years ago... In its chapters we meet One-Eye an owl who has found himself suddenly transported from the wild to the intensive care unit at the Wildlife Aid centre. One-Eye is puzzled and frightened, torn from his natural realm by injury and the careless indifference of man. Sadly, One-Eye is not alone, and he soon finds himself sharing his misfortune and misery with a variety of creatures from Britain's endangered and shrinking countryside. This is no ordinary animal this is a book which attempts to understand the feelings of animals, to explore and imagine what they might be thinking, what they might be saying to each other, and, more importantly, what they might be saying to human beings if only they could talk to us. The impetus for this book stems from the passionate vision of Simon Cowell and his dedicated colleagues at Wildlife Aid, as they fight to redress the balance between Man and Nature, and to care for and nurse Britain's beautiful wild creatures the heritage which should belong to us all.
