This magnificent photographic survey is a personal tour through the length and breadth of Africa by one of the worlds leading nature and wildlife photographers. Steve Bloom achieves here a truly breathtaking intimacy not only with the continents extraordinary animal life and natural environment but also with its diverse peoples. His remit is staggeringly comprehensive: landscapes from desert to jungle, wildlife from insect to great game, and human life from remote tribal village to teeming metropolis. In a series of essays, Bloom combines vivid personal experience with a passionate articulation of the challenges faced by Africas people and environment in the 21st century. Everywhere is apparent his deep affection and affinity for the continent where he grew up, and to which he has felt compelled to return throughout his life.

I purchased this book for my daughter as part of her Christmas present, it was part of her wish list. Having been to Africa on a number of ocassions, seeing about 10 countries there, she knew she would love this book and she was right. She thought it was amazing. It is so big and heavy and the photographs are unbelievable, so beautiful and true to Africa, so she tells me. I have never had the priviledge of visitng any part of Africa. I know I can speak on my daughters behalf and say she would thoroughly recommend this book.
