Description
A vivid portrait of East Africa, written by renowned writer Peter Matthiessen, remains as fresh and revelatory today as it was when first published. Over the course of a dozen years, Matthiessen observed the sights, scenes, and people of the region, combining nature and travel writing to create a unique blend.
This book is a classic example of journalistic observation, featuring the daily lives of wild herdsmen, predator kills, field biologists investigating wild creatures, and anthropologists seeking humanity's origins in the rift valley. A new edition features an introduction by Jane Goodall, highlighting its enduring significance.
