Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -What kind of world do we want to bequeath to our children What planet, what future do we want to pass on to them In his latest book, Cyril Christo poses the most fundamental of all questions. Together with his wife Marie Wilkinson and their son Lysander, Christo has been seeking out the wonders of this world for more than 40 years and across all continents. During their travels to the Inuit or the first peoples of Africa, they come into contact with communities who seem to have everything that modern, technological society has lost: time, family, and an almost inexhaustible kindness towards strangers.The photographers present the wonder of unspoilt nature in their book, captured in powerful duotone images that provide a fascinating glimpse into the beauty of life. With a fighting yet sensitive spirit, they share how their experiences and encounters have guided their son's development and how nature can serve as a teacher to all children with their irrepressible yearning for wonder. The world's greatest classroom, nature as the school of life, is threatened as never before by climate change and the continuous loss of habitat. Christo and Wilkinson regard their book as a manifesto and a warning, because »without wonder we are lost.«.

Folio,160 pp.,black and white photographs, very good copy in dustwrapper. 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.

Condition: Very Good. First edition. ***Will require extra postage due to size and weight. Orders outside of the United States for this item are strongly discouraged.*** Folio [43 cm] Sixteen loose signatures laid in thin white wraps with the title printed in black on the front wrap. With a glassine wrapper. Contents tucked into a black paper covered portfolio printed in white, with cloth ties. Portfolio lightly smudged. All housed in an illustrated slipcase, with light soiling and minor toning. Contents fine. Complete. 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.
