Our Newest Title

COVER_11_5

The newest book to be publishing with the assistance of the Champlain College Publishing Initiative is Thirty Percent Chance of Enlightenment, the latest travel book by Tim Brookes.

By turns hilarious and profound, Thirty Percent Chance of Enlightenment is the story of a National Geographic assignment gone gloriously wrong. Sent to India to watching the monsoon for an article on weather forecasting, a bureaucratic foul-up led to Tim discovering that he had been banned from every office of the India Meteorological Department. He set off on a slightly out-of-control cross-country trip to discover the true meaning of the monsoon and, as an unexpected bonus, the spiritual nature of water.

Tim is internationally known as an author and NPR essayist, and his previous travel book, A Hell of a Place to Lose a Cow, was chosen by the New York Times and Booklist as one of the top travel books of 2000.
