Synopsis: "This book is crammed with
extraordinary information about lions gathered from conversations at African campfires with the greatest
living veterans of the African bush, museum curators, great writers on Africa, and Guy Coheleach's own
extensive experience. The art features old and new paintings by this renowned artist. The lion is a
wonderful, but dangerous, animal and more often than not, human beings are on its menu. This delightful book
covers all aspects of the lion in history, natural history, hunting, tracking, man-eating lions and more.
There are great stories and even greater 'campfire chatter' about this King of Beasts."

Leoni (Italien).
Synopsis: "Immortalized in legend and
celebrated through the centuries, the King of Beasts has fascinated man since it stalked through Europe in
prehistoric times. A universal symbol of power, the lion is renowned for its flamboyant mane, noble aspect,
terrifying roar, and unsurpassed sexual stamina. Journey into the world of this revered and feared big cat
through these spectacular color images. Stand on the searing savannah alongside one of these imposing
creatures as it looks down with disdain on other species as so many possible prey. Witness his contradictory
nature as he fiercely defends his family and territory, then later lowers himself to petty thievery and
carrion scrounging. All the while, the females bring up their cubs collectively and handle the hunting
duties. The complexity of this endangered society, which can now be found only in the wildlife parks and
sanctuaries of East Africa, is captured here in candid, breathtaking detail."

Klappentext: "Our fascination with
cats is ancient and universal: we admire their sleek beauty, the graceful way they move, and watch
spellbound when suddenly they crouch, ready to pounce. At that moment we feel the age-old mixture of wonder
and fear - wonder at the beauty, a primeval connection with the hunter, and fear at one day finding
ourselves the focus of their predatory intentions. The lion is the animal visitors most want to see on
safari, embodying the primordial spirit of savannah Africa. It is the king of beasts. The first in the
series of three books on Africa's big cats, Big Cat Diary: Lion is a companion volume to the
successful television series [Big Cat
Diary] which goes beyond the day-to-day footage, and explores the bigger picture: history, biology,
behaviour, conservation and how lions survive outside the 1,510 km² (600 sq. mile) Masai Mara Game Reserve
in Kenya. The book offers a detailed examination of lion behaviour, the way lions are organised socially,
how they develop from birth to young adult, how the males take over a pride, and how lone females survive
without a pride. There is an historical perspective of the big cat families featured in the series,
including the famous Marsh Lion pride. The book also looks outside the Masai Mara Game Reserve, to the Serengeti National Park
in Tanzania and the Ngorongoro
Crater, and Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and South Africa. The question of how to conserve the
world's big cat populations is an urgent one: there could be less than 30,000 lions left in Africa. How can
we ensure they can maintain breeding populations, space to hunt and sufficient prey to survive? Now in its
fourth series, Big Cat
Diary has enabled us to find out more about the day-to-day lives of wild lions, from the drama of the
hunt to the daily domestic routine and the enduring fight for survival. With its stunning pictures and
fascinating, first-hand accounts from someone who has spent half his life watching Africa's big cats, Big
Cat Diary: Lion provides an even greater insight to the lives of these magnificent animals."

Hunters of the Dunes
The Story of the Kalahari Lion
von Fritz Eloff
Gebundene Ausgabe, kein Schutzumschlag,
179 Seiten, 305 Farbfotos, 1 Farbkarte Sunbird Publishers
(Südafrika), Dezember 2002, ISBN 0-624-03879-3
Englische Fassung von Jagters van die
Duine (Südafrika, 1999).
Rückentext: "The Kalahari, the
largest continuous area of sand in the world, is so much more than just an arid thirstland. In this land of
contrasts, the fiery red dune crests are sometimes covered in a sea of soft, green grass, and the horizon is
scattered with pans and dotted with trees. Massive sociable weaver nests weigh down the branches of camel
thorns, and shepherd's trees spread their boughs to provide shade in a land where there is otherwise none.
And in the wide streets between the dunes, long, golden-coloured grasses offer protective cover for the
Kalahari's wildlife - the most remarkable of which is the lion, which reigns supreme over this unique
wasteland. In Hunters of the Dunes: The Story of the Kalahari Lion, the magical mysteries of the
Kalahari unfold with drama and passion. Interspersed with rich, heart-rending anecdotes and entertaining
campfire stories, Professor Fritz Eloff tells his tale of more than 40 years of observation in this, one of
Africa's last wilderness areas."

Hunting with the Moon The Lions of Savuti
von Dereck Joubert (Text) & Beverly Joubert (Fotos)
Gebundene Ausgabe, 168 Seiten, 109
Farbfotos, Farbillustrationen, Farbkarte, Stammbaum National Geographic
Books (USA), September 1997, ISBN 0-7922-7020-7
Verleger: "Over a hundred
breathtaking full-color images captured by Beverly Joubert's ever-watchful camera represent not just superb
wildlife photography but a priceless record of a little-known natural phenomenon. They create a portrait of
the Savuti lions at rest, at play, and on the shadowy hunts that end in a sudden, explosive kill, offering a
rare glimpse of the lithe power and ruthless beauty that have mesmerized humans for millennia. Dereck
Joubert's detailed and engaging text documents years of observation, providing invaluable insight into the
biology, behavior, and social structure of an elusive species; at the same time he brings to life the
individual animals the Jouberts came to know so well: Maome, the matriarch whose clan played together every
evening; Ntchwaidumela, the bold and unflappable male who defied a charging elephant; Sequela, the old exile
who returned to spend his last days with his pride, and many more. Last but by no means least, Hunting
with the Moon is a chronicle of human dedication, a deeply personal account of a couple who have devoted
their lives to understanding and protecting the magnificent beasts who prowl these pages in all their
majestic grace."

Verleger: "The most extraordinary
book on lions ever published, In the Lion's Den offers a rare glimpse into the world of the lion,
whether at play, on the hunt, or simply dozing in the midday sun. In the tradition of his best-selling
volume Serengeti: Natural Order on
the African Plain, internationally acclaimed photographer Mitsuaki Iwago has turned his singular vision
to the lions of one of the most admired regions in East Africa. Bringing to his photographs the sensibility
of a painter, Iwago portrays these magnificent cats in all their grace and ferocity, unguarded and up close.
Two males fight fiercely over territory; young cubs nuzzle up to their mother; a pride devours freshly
killed prey - over 100 breathtaking images offer a uniquely intimate view of lions in the splendors of their
natural habitat."
