Full of sumptuous glossy colour photographs taken over a number of years of the peoples of the Horn of Africa. This book provides a study of the peoples of the Horn of Africa - a unique blend of races, customs and creeds, from the sophisticated cultures of the highlands and the Somali coast, to the nomads of the Ogaden desert. Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher have both published books on Africa: Nomads of the Niger and Africa Adorned, and in this book they make a journey to look for the source of a life force that is found everywhere among the Africans, even during the tribulations of war and famine. They found a place that shelters a huge variety of human societies, and in so doing they hope to contribute towards preserving the spirit of the region. The large format hardback book with grey cloth covers is in 'Fine' condition. The unclipped dust jacket has some light edge wear; the top and base of the spine, and the tops and bases of both folds, have all been reinforced with matt sellotape to prevent tears.
