This travelogue of Costa Rica, the second smallest of the American republics, starts at San Jose Airport. Transportation is key within the country, boasting among the best roads in the world. San Jose itself is the capital, a small city of about 70,000, with many recreational areas in its suburbs. Heading out of the city, we come to an orchid farm, there being said to be more varieties of the plant in Costa Rica than anywhere else in the world. Next, we move to the volcanic mountains, the range within Costa Rica which contains the largest crater in the world. We then move to the farmland, with coffee and bananas being the primary agricultural export crops.
This is the story of a tiny country that made a decision to do something that no other country had ever done -- it decided to abolish its army and declare peace to the world. And this is the story of a young boy who grew up in that country, and how he ended up challenging -- and sometimes even convincing -- the greatest powers in the world to follow Costa Rica's example. "Oscar Arias: Without a Shot Fired" is a Don Quixote-like saga with great historical touchstones -- Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, Cold War politics and Communism, Central American War and Peace. It follows a slight, academic, and most unlikely hero over the course of more than fifty years, as he travels the world in a quest to stop the spread of the weapons of war. In the end, it is a story about the triumph of reason, of the sparrow triumphing over the eagle, and how the impossible dream can sometimes come true.
In the mountains of Costa Rica, Lya Battle gives a second chance to over 1,000 stray dogs at her sanctuary, and hope for those who have yet to be found.
Passados oito anos do incidente na InGen, o Dr. Alan Grant está feliz com a sua vida afastado de todos os dinossauros exceto os fossilizados. Infelizmente, este encontra-se praticamente sem dinheiro para continuar a sua investigação, aceitando, por isso, a oferta do abastado empresário Paul Kirby: bastou um voo sobre a isolada Isla Sorna, local onde se situava o segundo centro de investigação da InGen, e o Dr. Grant conseguiu a bolsa necessária para financiar os seus projetos durante muito tempo. Aquilo que ele não sabia era que Kirby apenas queria um especialista em dinossauros para o ajudar, a ele e à mulher, a encontrar o seu filho Eric, de 14 anos, que se despenhou na ilha enquanto fazia parapente. Aquilo que ele já suspeitava, mas que nunca quisera ver, é que os Velociraptores tornaram-se numa espécie capaz de comunicações complexas e estão, como tal, mais perigosos que nunca.
