Synopsis
This work presents a portrait of Namibia as seen through the camera lenses of Gerald Hoberman and his son, Marc. It features such images as the Namib desert, its dunes and mountains rendered in colours of apricot and lavender; a flock of flamingos flying across Sandwich Harbour lagoon; and the fog-shrouded Skeleton Coast, where ships come to grief in a capricious sea. The photographs and text also examine the country's people closely, from the San to the pastoral Himb, and the European influence does not escape the photographers' viewfinder either. Namibia was once part of the German empire and, as the photographs show, the colonial ambience still pervades the capital city and smaller towns.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
