Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Peter Matthiessen is a writer of distinction; a successful novelist, a traveller and a naturalist of wide experience. Eliot Porter also is a naturalist and his studies of landscape and bird life have made him one of the best-known photographers in the United States. When these two talents are fused it is inevitable that something altogether out of the ordinary will ensue. East Africa has proved the catalyst which inspired them and together they have produced a study of astonishing power and virtuosity. They have ranged the continent from the upper Nile, south into Tanzania, north west as far as remote Lake Rudolf on the Kenyan frontier: working with the scientists who study the habits of animals in the wild, talking to the anthropologists who seek to unravel the mysteries of man's origins, studying the daily lives of the herdsmen and people unchanged by the passage of millennia, listening, watching, recording. Text and photographs combine to evoke this complex and exciting land in a way which will enthral and amaze even those who know it intimately. ----------------------------------------- Beautiful book. 247 pages.
