Verleger: "From the craggy
snow-capped peaks of 17,058-foot Mount Kenya
astride the equator, down to the silver sands of its beautiful Indian Ocean shores. The Beauty of Kenya
reflects the diverse faces of Kenya's cultures, landscapes and wildlife. The Beauty of Kenya is a
guide through the arid deserts around Lake Turkana, over the forest-capped massifs of its great mountain
ranges, on safari through many of Kenya's sixty wildlife sanctuaries and reserves, down to its idyllic
500-kilometre-long, palm-fringed coastline. The text, by Brian Tetley, provides a perfect counterpoint to
eighty unforgettable pictures by Mohamed Amin and Duncan Willetts."
Verleger: "Until the last decade of
the nineteenth century, Kenya's north was virtually cut off from the rest of the world, known only to those
who had worked their way down the continent from further north. They comprised the hardy Samburu and other
semi-nomadic pastoralists ever in search of water and grazing for their cattle, sheep and goats. This they
found on Samburuland's green mountain slopes and at the Uaso Nyiro River, towards which the early foreign
explorers also made their way on foot. The river is the lifeline in this part-desert country for humans and
animals alike. For all who love the wild, remote and often superbly beautiful lands of Africa, Samburuland,
home of the last vast herds of mighty elephants and still rich in wildlife – often referred to
romantically as Kenya's 'Gateway to the North' – is brought alive in The Beauty of Samburu, Shaba and
Buffalo Springs, in the fine full-colour photography of Mohamed Amin and Duncan Willetts and the lyrical
text of Jan Hemsing."

von Mohamed Amin (Fotos), Duncan Willetts (Fotos) & John Eames (Text)
Verleger: "Kenya's Indian Ocean coast
stretches for almost 500 kilometres just south of the equator. Its glistening silver beaches in the sun,
shaded by whispering palms, are one of the world's truly great holiday destinations. Yet only fifty years
ago it was barely known. Today, thousands flock to this tropical paradise where a warm breeze blows all the
time. Here is a magical mixture of timeless cultures, traditions and customs, and a 2000-year history, all
brought to vivid and fascinating life in about ninety colour photographs from Mohamed Amin and Duncan
Willetts."

The Beauty of the Maasai Mara
von David Round-Turner (Text), Mohamed Amin (Fotos) & Duncan Willetts (Fotos)
Verleger: "The most popular part of
Kenya lies in the southern sector of the country, divided by the canyon of the Great Rift Valley. The Maasai
Mara is for many people incomparably the most breathtaking of all of the country's, perhaps all of Africa's,
game reserves. The majesty of the golden savannah of the Mara National Reserve plays host to the annual
migration, one of the greatest wildlife spectacles ever seen. The Beauty of the Maasai Mara takes a
tour through this stunning game reserve and the golden backdrop to many a memory of East Africa."

Press (UK), September 1980, ISBN 0-00-216044-7
Klappentext: "This is a beautiful,
evocative portrait of Kenya showing the diversity of the land and its people. From the Rift Valley, justly
famous for its wildlife, to the majestic peaks of Mount Kenya,
snowcapped all the year round, though only a few miles from the Equator. From the arid desert region around
Lake Turkana, through the Maasai Heartland, to Mount Kilimanjaro. Kenya's 'Enchanted Coast' provides a fitting finish to this armchair
safari, brought to life for us by the superb photographs of Gerald Cubitt. Eric Robins' text on the history
of the country, its people and wildlife, written in an informal style, gives the information necessary to
enjoy such a safari to the full."

Klappentext: "The Maasai are an
African tribe whose adherence to cultural traditions is legendary. Most still live in a
five-thousand-square-mile tribal reserve of empty bush that stretches south of Nairobi all the way to
Tanzania. When Elizabeth Gilbert initially came into contact with the Maasai over ten years ago, their
images were everywhere in Africa. Pictures of warriors were printed on postcards, T-shirts, safari
advertisements, and hotel logos, but in reality their traditional life was disappearing. So Elizabeth set
out on a four-year journey to photograph what was left of traditional Maasailand. Broken Spears is
the stunning result of that remarkable journey. Over 120 images capture the rituals, secret ceremonies,
landscapes, rites of passage, and warrior portraits of Maasailand, documenting the life of this
extraordinary tribe in the most comprehensive collection of photographs ever assembled. Elizabeth's
accompanying text tells the story of the early colonial history and the mingled destinies of the Maasai and
the British, the forced settlement onto reserves, and the court case to regain their ancestral territory.
Included are archival photographs of the Maasai from the nineteenth century and reproductions of historic
photographs, documents, and land treaties. Also in this book are photographs of centuries-old Maasai
ceremonies, including male circumcisions, a ceremony called 'The Horn of the Ox', where young boys attempt
to grab an ox by its horns to prove their manhood; a female circumcision; a traditional Maasai wedding; the
Eunoto ceremony, where warriors are officially retired; panoramic shots of the Serengeti; and the most
dangerous of all Maasai rituals, a lion hunt. A moving photographic journey into the vanishing culture of
the Maasai warriors of Kenya and Tanzania, Broken Spears is a haunting testament to a rapidly
disappearing way of life."

Cradle of Mankind
von Mohamed Amin (Fotos) & Brian Tetley (Text), Vorwort von Richard Leakey
Synopsis: "Now famous throughout the
world as the earliest known site of modern man's existence, Lake Turkana in Kenya's far north has come to be
known as The Cradle of Mankind. It is here that famous palaeoanthropologist Richard Leakey has
discovered 1000 square miles of fossil-rich bearings that have provided the world with its most significant
evidence of mankind's origins. Here, too, are six tribes of hunters and nomads who live today much as our
forebears did and who come as near to untouched primitive life as any peoples in the world. Their ways will
undoubtedly change in the vanguard of Kenya's centralising forces. For twelve years Mohamed Amin recorded
their vanishing cultures and customs with authenticity and skill, capturing the rich, colourful mixture of
unspoiled life in and around Lake Turkana. The text describes the history of the lake, its wildlife, the
work on the fossil beds at Koobi Fora, and the traditions of the tribes now disappearing under the onslaught
of modernisation. Cradle of Mankind makes an enduring contribution to the illustrated history of
the human race."
