Review

From space, Africa is a shattered land, textured by burning sands, seas of grass and steaming forests. It is scarred by mountains and bejewelled by great lakes and rivers. Raw and beautiful, this ancient continent is alive with the greatest collection of wildlife on earth. This stunning volume shows how a once-stable continent has been fragmented into these six beautiful realms, and how this process has catalysed the evolution of some remarkable animals and plants in each one. Morris and his co-authors take the reader into the heart of this fabulous landscape, introducing every habitat through a dedicated chapter that reveals how the resident wildlife has adapted to thrive in its unique natural environment. Through beautifully detailed images and lively, authoritative text, Wild Africa immerses the reader in the natural history of this spectacular continent.
