Synopsis
Africa's Great Game Parks house thousands of the world's most incredible wildlife, including the elephant, rhino, zebra, and gorilla, but along with this beauty comes a desperate struggle for existence. This living legacy faces the possibility of becoming extinct because of ignorance and apathy. In Wild Edens: Africa's Premier Game Parks and Their Wildlife, longtime conservationist and seasoned African traveler Joseph James Shomon journeys through the wild African scene, revealing its magnificence and mystique, and wonderfully describes the game parks' location, ecology, and irreplaceable wildlife. Shomon's engaging and informative text, complemented by attractive photographs and pen-and-ink drawings, encourages those interested in Africa and its wildlife to visit the cradle of our ancestral beginnings and to take an active role in its preservation and conservation.

Review
"A moving tribute to the major game parks of Africa, Wild Edens is also a good introduction to the wonders of one of the last great wildlife spectacles on the planet. The author, a wildlife conservationist, takes the reader on a journey through the parks of East and South Africa. Starting with Mt. Kilimanjaro, the tallest on the continent, Shomon visits such well-known areas as Amboseli (Kenya), the Serengeti (Tanzania), the Okavango (Botswana), and Kruger (South Africa). Filled with personal anecdotes from his many trips to the preserves, the author's descriptions . . . have an immediacy that is appealing. The author's black-and-white photographs (plus two sections of color photos) . . . further enhance the book's travelogue quality."--Nancy Bent
