Bushmen: A Changing Way of Life
von Anthony Bannister (Fotos) & David Lewis-Williams (Text)
Verleger: "The subject matter of this
book has proved very popular in the past, as have other books in this series, with their accent on
full-colour photography. This particular title features photography by Anthony Bannister (one of South
Africa's foremost wildlife photographers) with illuminating captions. The over 80 photographs in full-colour
give a visual record of a way of life that is under threat. In an introductory essay, the archaeologist
David Lewis-Williams describes the way of life of a people whose culture has all but entirely vanished. The
focus of the title is on the lifestyle of the San Bushmen: their art, culture and the survival techniques,
which have helped them eke out an existence in an unforgiving environment. The introduction gives both a
brief history of these resilient people and an insight into the way they live."

Catching the Moment Photographing Wildlife In a
Timeless Wilderness
Verleger: "In a novel attempt to
reveal the picture behind the picture, wildlife photographers Richard du Toit and Gerald Hinde describe how
they captured each of the images in their recently published classic on the timeless wilderness of the Khwai
River in Botswana [Images from a
Timeless Wilderness]. Catching the Moment gives both aspirant and seasoned wildlife
photographers a wealth of useful tips and information, but more than that, an appreciation of the love of
nature and the artistry behind breath-taking images such as those re-published here. Even 'armchair
photographers', however, will enjoy following the record of these moments, for the beauty of the vast
panorama they explore, and the insight they yield into patterns of behaviour - those of the observer as well
as the observed."

Klappentext: "Chobe National Park is
one of the world's last remaining true wildernesses and one of Africa's greatest game parks. Chobe is a name
that has always conjured up romantic images of a truly wild and unspoilt Africa. From the elephant-shattered
woodlands of the Linyanti swamp on the northern borders of the park, to the grassy floodplains of Selinda in
the remote north-west and the desiccated teak forests of the eastern parts of the park, Chobe is as isolated
and remote now as it was in the days of the early explorers. Chobe: Africa's Untamed Wilderness is
a personal account of the year Daryl and Sharna Balfour spent in Chobe National Park, capturing the soul of
this spectacular wildlife area on film. To record their experience as closely and accurately as they wanted
to, they almost became part of the daily life of the park. They spent nights on the hunt with lions, as if
part of the pride, and closely followed leopard, cheetah and elephants, to record some of the most
magnificent wildlife photographs ever taken. No other book provides such an intimate account of the moods,
inhabitants and seasons of Chobe. Through their daily written and photographed accounts of the wildlife
moments they witnessed while living in the bush, Daryl and Sharna reveal the story of Chobe. Their evocative
photographs unveil the secrets of mood and life in the park, while their words tell a story of harsh
contrasts, of struggle and survival and of unmatched natural beauty. An advisory provides practical travel
information on where to stay, the best time to visit and what to do while visiting the area."

Desert Adventure In Search of Wilderness in
Namibia and Botswana
von Paul Augustinus, Vorwort von Steve Bales
Gebundene Ausgabe, 240 Seiten, 25 Farb-
& 127 Schwarzweißillustrationen, 111 Farbfotos, 14 Farbkarten
Acorn Books (Südafrika), Dezember 1997, ISBN 1-874802-08-4
Klappentext: "Desert Adventure
describes a year-long journey, made by wilderness artist Paul Augustinus, through the rich diversity of
desert landscapes of the Namib and the Kalahari. Infused with the spirit of adventure, it is an odyssey in
search of southern Africa's last remnants of unspoiled and untamed wilderness. Paul's own story is enlivened
and given substance by the inclusion of narratives from the explorers of the past, one of whom described
travelling in Africa as requiring 'the endurance of a camel and the courage of a lion'. The journey begins
at the edge of the wilderness, among the dunes of Sossusvlei, and continues through Walvis Bay and the
delights of Swakopmund into the lonely, rugged scenery of the Kaokoveld. Through the artist's eyes, we see a
land of mountains, vast plains, and dry riverbeds inhabited by myriad forms of wildlife. We share the
excitement of being surprised by elephants close to the camp at night, and the thrill of encountering the
rare desert rhino, and gaze at the ancient rock engravings at Twyfelfontein. Leaving the arid grandeur of
the Kaokoveld, we enter a world of dazzling sand dunes and turbulent ocean - the Skeleton Coast - and are
regaled with stories of coastal lions and desert elephants, and the many shipwrecks still visible on the
beaches. After the freedom of the wilderness, the Etosha National Park, where nature is 'controlled' by man,
appears tame by comparison, but this lack is more than made up for by the abundance of its wild animals and
the drama of their encounters. Lion and cheetah chases and the competitive interactions between elephant,
rhino and lion around the waterholes are vividly captured by the pen, brush and camera of the author. The
Okavango, the unique swampland of the northern Kalahari Desert, with its secret waterways and wealth of
wildlife, is Paul's next goal, and here he embarks on two dugout canoe trips into its northern reaches, far
from the normal tourist routes, to encounter buffalo and lion - and the legendary honeyguide - at close
quarters. The final stages of this epic journey take us through Moremi to the massive elephant herds of the
Chobe National Park, where Paul's vehicle was attacked and damaged by elephants. Lavishly illustrated by the
author's paintings, photographs, and pencil sketches of animals and birds in their natural settings, as well
as by detailed maps, this desert adventure is for all to experience and to treasure."

Klappentext: "This book portrays a
richly eventful cycle of life along the reaches of Botswana's Khwai River, a narrow link between the
permanent wetlands of the Okavango Delta and the sands of the semi-desert Kalahari. Richard du Toit and
Gerald Hinde spent a year travelling through this wild region to experience and photograph the pageant of
the seasons: the summer rains; the arrival of the floodwaters in late summer; the gathering of the wildlife
along the shrinking river in winter; and finally the dry months of waiting for the rains to return. Richard
and Gerald set out to capture the moods of this remote wilderness, and to document the fascinating
encounters they were privileged to witness between the creatures that live there. The photographs chosen for
this book depict the beautiful, the unusual and the extraordinary - images which convey the drama integral
to the timeless progression of the seasons in this ancient and yet dynamic land."

Kalahari
Life's Variety in Dune and Delta
von Michael Main
Gebundene Ausgabe, 295 Seiten, 61
Farbfotos auf 30 Tafeln, 2 Farb- & 6 Schwarzweißkarten Southern Book Publishers
(Südafrika), 1987, ISBN 1-86812-001-5
Klappentext: "The Kalahari, the
largest continuous area of sand in the world, occupies much of central southern Africa. Even today, there
are places in it where man seldom ventures. It is called a desert, which really it is not; it is a semi-arid
area with various depths of wind-blown sand, held in place by vegetation. Paradoxically, it also contains
the aquatic wonderland of the Okavango Delta. Beyond the fact of its existence, the Kalahari is relatively
little known by the outside world. For centuries the Kalahari desert has remained a place of mystery;
remote, apparently inhospitable and largely unknown. What little has been reported is often inaccurate, out
of context or misleading. In many cases, this has served to mask the true fascination of its vastness. This
book is about the real Kalahari, its life, its people, events past and present. Mike Main takes us on an
exhilarating exploration of its hidden secrets; its strangely adapted inhabitants, animal, vegetable and
human; its slowly emerging prehistory; its geological shaping. Perhaps the most important and disquieting
part of this book is that which deals with the future of this last frontier whose fragile ecosystem is under
enormous pressure from all sides. Will the creatures and plants of this unique land go the way of the
Bushmen, or will it remain a haven and inspiration to those who love the world's forgotten places?"
