Sable Publishers (Südafrika), Mai 1984, ISBN 0-620-06447-1
Klappentext: "Timeless Africa in all
its remoteness and authenticity, the Chobe National Park covers an inhospitable 11,777 square kilometres.
Extreme conditions and often virtually impenetrable terrain that have left much of the land undisturbed by
humans. Exhilarated at finding such a wilderness amidst the continent's madly accelerating population, the
author immediately set about recording this uniqueness on film and in text. The project took three years to
complete, resulting not only in an outstanding photographic portrayal of this magnificent untamed area and
its inhabitants, but also in a fascinating text on the author's experiences and observations of Africa's
larger and more dangerous wildlife. In order to film animals undisturbed in this natural wilderness, many of
the photographs were taken on foot and unarmed. The knowledge to do this was gradually and cautiously
acquired, much time being spent in remote off-road areas. Here it was impossible to approach animals by
vehicle, and the text relates numerous absorbing experiences which contributed to the author's enthusiastic
education on the environment and its wild inhabitants. This book will hold the reader spellbound with
accounts of lion hunts at night, insights into the tender personalities and efficient social systems of
elephants, and much other firsthand information."

The Lost World of the Kalahari (30th Anniversary Illustrated Edition)
With 'The Great and the Little Memory', a new epilogue by Laurens van der Post
von Laurens van der Post (Text) & David Coulson (Fotos)

Company (USA), Dezember 1988, ISBN 0-688-08608-X
US-Lizenzausgabe von The Lost World of
the Kalahari (Großbritannien, 1988).
Klappentext: "»A noble book, one
which... will become a landmark in the literature of African travel....« So wrote the reviewer for The
New York Times when The
Lost World of the Kalahari was first published in 1958. Now, in this thirtieth-anniversary reissue of
Laurens van der Post's classic tale of adventure, 75 stunning full-colour photographs by David Coulson have
been added, and Sir Laurens has written a wonderfully enriching epilogue, The Great and Little Memory,
together giving a new generation of readers the opportunity to discover this remarkable work. The Lost
World of the Kalahari is the story of an expedition that Laurens van der Post led through the great
'thirstland' of the Kalahari Desert, a grueling, hazardous and enthralling journey in search of some last
remnant of the pure aboriginal Bushmen of southern Africa. After many setbacks and much arduous trekking,
the party finally made contact with such a community and lived among them. The author's vivid and moving
account of these ancient yet vital survivors of the remotest past of humanity and their still-existing Stone
Age civilization is certain to touch every reader. For Laurens van der Post has always been fascinated by
and held the deepest respect for the ways and legends of the Bushmen and their unique and intimate
participation in the world of nature, feelings that contrast tragically with the terrible fate they have
suffered at the hands of modern civilization. The description of these archaic, doomed, yet vividly living
people is, as this new volume shows, timeless. Of the photographs for this new edition, Sir Laurens says,
»I have never liked photographs in my books.... But the camera, as used by David Coulson, shows Africa as I
have tried to see it.... I am not only fortunate but honored to have him as a partner in what is probably
the last word I shall ever have to say about the Kalahari.«"

Moremi
Emozioni d'Africa - Africa Calling
von Giacomo Medici del Vascello (Fotos) & Marco Faccio (Text), Vorwort von Giorgio Celli
Synopsis: "Instead of flowing into
the ocean, the Okavango river's tributary is in Moremi, a remote corner of Africa. This mystical place is
one of the few on earth where nature remains as it was created. Photographer Giacomo Medici del Vascello has
spent much of his time shooting this enclave and the animals that habitate it. The photography of wildlife
is some of the most vivid and imaginative ever seen. Printed on special paper, the book is an exquisite
masterpiece."

Hinde fotografierten jahrelang in der südafrikanischen Wildnis [Botsuana]. Entstanden ist ein Bildband mit
schönen, manchmal auch grausamen, immer aber spektakulären Bildern. Doch nach dem Staunen und Bewundern
folgt auch die Frage, wie man solch grandiosen Momente einfängt. Diese Frage wird im Anschluss beantwortet.
Statt der Erläuterungen zu Tier und Natur erzählen die Fotografen hier Bild für Bild, wie und mit welchen
Tricks sie es schafften, genau diese Aufnahme zu machen."

Okavango: A Journey
von Adrian Bailey (Fotos) & Robyn Keene-Young (Text)
Verleger: "The Okavango is a dynamic
ecosystem that has been shaped by many natural forces. The magical trip depicted in this book illustrates
the ways in which these forces influence this ever-changing environment. The Okavango Delta is captivatingly
described in three sections that feature the plant and animal life of the distinctive habitats: Air - the
world of creatures that fly and swing from trees is examined from a daisy-yellow Tigermoth biplane that
shares the sky with vultures and storks. Water - the journey continues in a small wooden dugout canoe
through drooping papyrus heads and water lilies and ventures into the aquatic environment of geese, hippos
and crocodiles. Land - the adventure concludes with a walk through the delta where we encounter mushrooms
sprouting from the earth after the rains, and enjoy spectacular sightings of mammals such as antelope,
elephant, lion and wild dog."

Okavango: Africa's Last Eden
von Frans Lanting (Fotos) & Christine Eckstrom (Text)
Gebundene Ausgabe, 168 Seiten, 132
Farbfotos, 1 Farbkarte Chronicle Books
(USA), November 1993, ISBN 0-8118-0527-1
Klappentext: "Okavango is the
first major celebration in text and photographs of Africa's last Eden. More than 130 extraordinary
photographs, taken during a year-long assignment in the region by award-winning photographer and naturalist
Frans Lanting, capture with powerful immediacy the beauty and drama of Africa's breathtaking Okavango Delta.
Spreading over 8,500 square miles, this vast wetland in the heart of the Kalahari supports an unparalleled
diversity of wildlife. From its origins in the highlands of Angola, the Okavango River descends to the
near-desert of northern Botswana, where it fans out as the world's largest inland delta; an ecosystem of a
size and complexity rivaling any on earth, a rare place where desert and swamp dwellers meet. Hippos,
crocodiles, zebra, impalas, buffalo, giraffe, lions, hyenas, and the continent's largest unharassed elephant
population find refuge and replenishment in the seasonal ebb and flow of fresh water into the delta.
Together, Lanting's words and images tell of the dynamic movement of water throughout the year and of the
rhythms of flora and fauna in response to it; of the spectacular array of wild creatures; of the people who
live in this frontier region; and, finally, in a thoughtful epilogue, of the difficult environmental
challenges faced by this complex natural system and its hopeful future as a place where Africa's
free-roaming wildlife stands a chance of surviving intact into the twenty-first century. No other
photographer has captured the variety of Africa's wildlife and the richness of its landscape with such
vividness, sympathy, and skill. Okavango is an unforgettable portrait of Africa's remarkable primeval
oasis."
