First Edition
Langbroek, African Parks B.V. 2003, 1st ed., unpaginated (686) pag., coloured photographic illustratons, original illustrated card wrappers extra with (unopened) envelope at rear with orig. DVD, cloth ribbon, 22 x 18,1 cm.= Marakele: The Making of a South African National Park is perhaps the most avant-garde animal book yet created. A feat of design and photo editing, it is a witty, sophisticated reinvention of a book form that rarely strays from the National Geographic model--at best. Dutch designer Irma Bloom has chosen 500 photographs, surprisingly detailed, sometimes funny, but always amazing, from 11,000 originals, and organized them following different themes: To Move, To Stand, To Crawl, To Wag, To Breed, To Flee, To Assemble, To Poo, To Yawn, To Hide, and more. The result is a touching and astonishing photographic essay about the animals that live in this wonderful park. Completing the book are a short essay about the project by Paul van Vlissingen, a list of all the species living in Marakele, and a DVD featuring "The Marakele Story" by Caroline Tisdall. Heavy book - may require extra shipping charges outside Europe.
