Stunning duotone images of some of world's most fearsome predators - lions, tigers and polar bears, with engaging texts by anthropologist Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, naturalist Sy Montgomery and film-maker John Houston. This beautiful book will appeal to all fans of wildlife photography. The regal lion, the magnificent tiger and the mighty Polar bear are among the largest carnivores and most formidable predators on Earth. They live in diverse parts of the planet, but, threatened by the loss of their habitats, they share an uncertain future. This book is a superb tribute to the striking beauty of this trio of mammals. Dramatic duotone images by Cyril Christo and Marie Wilkinson capture the animals roaming their natural environments, revealing not only their awesome power but also their vulnerability. The images are accompanied by the photographers' reminiscences of their expeditions to Africa, Asia and the Arctic, and by heartfelt responses by three nature writers to the plight of these majestic mammals. Simultaneously thought-provoking and captivating, this book is the perfect book for anyone concerned about the conservation of endangered species.

A large format book with photographs and accompanying quotes illuminating the lives of pastoral groups. In his Prophecies, Leonardo Da Vinci once proclaimed, "All men will take refuge in Africa." What better place to re-create oneself than in that oldest of continents, the birthplace of the human race? It has been nearly thirty years since Cyril Christo first set foot in East Africa, in Kenya, and climbed its highest peak, Mount Killimanjaro. Years later, he went back with his wife, Marie Wilkinson, and today, he continues with faith, determination, and sadness to document the disappearance of the essence of Africa, land of space, nature and animals. With penetrating black and white images and a lyrically evocative essay, Lost Africa is a tribute to the beauty of this huge continent and a song for a timeless Africa.
