A stunning portrayal of Africa in its many and varied guises, this lavish book beautifully encapsulates this mysterious and untamed continent.

Along with superb photography of characteristic wildlife and birds, their interactions with each other and their habitats, there are portraits of geographical landmarks and scenery, ethnic people and many noteworthy aspects of local cultures and ceremonies. Important and aesthetically interesting pre-colonial cultural and historical landmarks are given coverage.
