This dazzling book of photography is a vivid journey into Africa’s illuminating landscape and all its varied creatures. One of the most spellbinding places on the planet, the continent is home to animals of all sizes and species, making it one of the most sought-after destinations in the world.
Prizewinning photographer and National Geographic explorer Beverly Joubert has spent more than 40 years documenting the wildlife that traverse the African terrain with her filmmaker husband, Dereck. Their passion for animals has resulted in striking images that tell an arresting story in an instant, opening a window into the souls of their subjects and inspiring viewers to fight for their survival. Each alluring shot includes Dereck's observations on the wildlife they hold so dear.
Organized into five themes, the book reveals the essence of Africa:
*Awe: a leopard, his eyes glowing, from an acacia tree
*Compassion: a lion devouring a buffalo
*Humility: a babooon silhouetted against the moon
*Intimacy: a baby elephant snuggling with his mother
*Legacy: a rhino being rescued from poachers
Both profound and inspiring, this majestic book forms a bridge between the animals, the lands, and the photographer. Each page is an impassioned call to conserve all forms of life—no matter what it takes.
