Wildest Africa

Paul Tingay

Extra Large Hardcover

The animals of Africa - from the thundering elephant to myriad tiny insects, from endless columns of migrating wildebeest to the increasingly endangered wild dog and mountain gorilla - are captured in moments of tenderness, action, and savagery by some of Africa's top wildlife photographers. Vast desert landscapes, the impenetrable forest floor of the Central African jungle, the power of the tumbling Zambezi River and the golden grasslands of the Kalahari are also given their place in this wide portrait of the wild, together with the tribal people of Africa in their natural surroundings.
With its stunning photographs and intelligent text, Wildest Africa tells the recurring themes of the African continent - the constant struggle for survival, the tenacity of life amid the proximity of death, the capacity of man both to destroy and protect, the harmony of nature in all its life forms. And throughout, the visual impact of Africa in its unique spaces, light, and beauty inspires and enlightens.
