Cobras, Kids And Pyramids: Adventures of a Teaching Couple in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Egypt

Jane and Ken Cundiff share their personal memoir of true-life stories as an American couple teaching at international high schools around the world. With a hint of an Indiana Jones’ lifestyle, Jane and Ken teach advanced sciences in the day and quest after exotic explorations and cultural understanding in their spare time. From their archive of journals and thousands of photographs the actively written stories are genuine and the venue expansive. Pakistan, Bangladesh and Egypt were the first three of seven countries in which they lived over a span of twenty-one years. Rich details describe their foreign life, from experiences at home and the classroom to exciting excursions into the Himalayan Mountains and the Sahara Desert. These personal involvements give us an intimate link with real people and places of different religions and cultures in the pursuit of a broader global understanding.

United by an enduring enthusiasm for science and adventure Jane Cundiff and her husband Ken have taught and lived in seven different countries around the world. Lifelong student and teacher of biology, Jane never tires of learning more about people and the planet's intricate web of connections. In a search for a global understanding she keeps journals and photographs to explore simple daily life alongside exotic exploration and cultural experiences from the Himalayas to the Sahara Desert to the Bay of Bengal.
