Size 9.2 x 1.2 x 12 inches -- Oversized Paperback: 512 pages "Beautiful pictures...celebrating the wildlife of Africa. Coppard has moved beyond the savannas in Kenya to travel the deserts of Namibia, the rain forests of the Congo basin, the Okavango Delta in Botswana, and the kopjes of South Africa....cover(s) the basic ecology of Africa...Climate and natural vegetation each receive a chapter, driving home the immense diversity found in a continent...provides a very nice listing of the major national parks, listed country by country. The second, larger section examines Africa's wildlife, divided taxonomically into surveys of the hoofed animals, elephants, carnivores, primates, reptiles, and birds....good basic information and an excellent introduction to Africa and its wildlife...true strength of the book is the collection of stunning photographs chosen to illustrate the text....Introductory text, graced with the author's drawings, sets the scene for each section of images concentrating on one element in the ecosystem....YA...An absolute must for reports; good photos of the rarer creatures."--Booklist. From Publishers Weekly The lively, full-color photos that leap from every page of Kit Coppard's (Big Cats) Africa's Animal Kingdom: A Visual Celebration are stunning, but hold no surprises for readers who enjoy wildlife photography. What distinguishes this book is its exhaustive wealth of information. Coppard presents an excellent encyclopedic guide to Africa and its myriad species. Providing the facts without fuss, his spare writing style underscores the book's visual drama. Good vintage condition but front cover shows a chewed corner. Not bad and only follows through faintly on next two pages. Otherwise very nice and spotless interior. Oversized. Beautiful flame-able pictures or great addition to your library. Feel free to email any questions that you may have prior to purchase. Thanks for stopping in! |
