Botswana: A Brush with the Wild
von Paul Augustinus, Vorwort von Ian Player
Gebundene Ausgabe, 203 Seiten, 89 Farbfotos, 20 Farbillustrationen, 62 Schwarzweißzeichnungen, 29 Schwarzweißfotos & -illustrationen, 13 Karten
Acorn Books (Südafrika), 1987, ISBN 0-620-09676-4
Klappentext: "Botswana: A Brush with the Wild takes us on a journey through the wilderness areas of the country's northern region, into the 'secret' places, where the feeling of remoteness is complete. From the Makgadikgadi salt-pans we travel northward to meet the characters of Maun, the village on the edge of the Okavango, and then enter a wonderland of lush waterways. The vast fossilised lake-bed of the Mababe provides a complete contrast to this watery region and leads into the mopane forests on the way to the legendary herds on the Chobe River's floodplains. As a traveller and artist, Paul Augustinus has for many years lived in this wilderness. In this his first book we are invited to share many of his experiences - the thrill of surprising the Okavango's rare sitatunga antelope, the shock of an elephant attack or of finding oneself no more than an arm's length away from the hot breath of a buffalo. We also hear the echoes of past journeys, journeys of discovery by David Livingstone, the trader James Chapman, the artist Thomas Baines, the hunter F.C. Selous and the missionaries Helmore and Price. Their stories are ones of hardship and endurance, and sometimes of suspense and tragedy. The book is illustrated throughout with reproductions of Paul Augustinus's finest paintings and photographs. Engravings and early photographs lend historical perspective, while detailed maps of each region give the would-be explorer practical help in keeping on the right track. For those who have already fallen under Botswana's spell, the spell of the unspoilt wilderness, this book will be a richly rewarding experience, and essential reading for all who dream about the wilderness, whether wildlife enthusiast, sportsman, traveller or photographer. It is a book for both conservationists and connoisseurs of Africana to treasure."

Bottero's African Wildlife Gallery
von Giuseppe Bottero (Illustrationen), James Clarke (Text)
Gebundene Lederausgabe im Schuber, kein Schutzumschlag, limitierte Auflage von 500 Exemplaren, 167 Seiten, 75 Farbillustrationen (davon 74 ganzseitig)
Wildlife Feature Corporation (Südafrika), 1977, ISBN 0-620-02661-8
Einführung: "The following pages contain a quarter of a century's work, 73 oil paintings including some very large canvases of one of Europe's most exciting artists - Giuseppe Bottero. The French-born Italian in the 1950's decided to break with a very lucrative career, painting conventional European landscapes and the portraits of the wealthy, to go into the African bush. As a master of pointilism, as an impressionist or as a sculptor he forsook a path that was leading him to becoming one of the great traditionalist artists of the latter 20th Century. Born in Nice and trained in Venice where for some time he made a living painting the aristocracy. Giuseppe Bottero startled his comtemporaries by suddenly, in middle-age, disappearing into the depths of Africa. He had set himself the task of capturing wild Africa, slowly being paved and ploughed. He saw, in his period of isolation, the rise of wildlife art but he refused to sell even one of his paintings. (He is fortunately a wealthy man and today owns two large game ranches.) He refused to sell until he had completed his self-imposed assignment - a unique collection of landscapes and animal portraits. In 1977 I met Giuseppe Bottero of whom I had heard rumblings from friends who knew the remote regions where he painted and he asked me to contribute some notes to go with his paintings in a special book. This book, he explained, was to be presented free to each of the 500 most influential people on earth. It has turned out to be one of the most lavish pieces of publishing in Africa's history. It is in fact intended to be a catalogue of Bottero's work. After years in the wilderness living like a modern St. Francis of Assisi - indeed his ultimate canvas 'The Meeting' is reminiscent of some extravagant Renaissance version of St. Francis talking to his friends the animals - Bottero had emerged. He is one of the greatest artists ever to travel Africa and perhaps the only one who saw his subjects as intimate friends. His genius lies in capturing the character of wild animals. Nobody I know can paint the movement of birds like Bottero. He is also a master at recording accurately the often dramatic but usually subtle colours of this ochre continent. Most of his canvases (they range down from 1700 mm x 2010 mm - 81 inches x 62) were done in the bush itself and often animals would become so used to his presence they would come to peer at him and to sniff at his paints. Many of the paintings have a story. Some are refreshingly naive, as are some of the titles which I did not want to change because they give such an instant insight into this quiet, shy, grey-haired Italian. One detects the changes in style in the collection which is only to be expected over a period of 25 years. As Bottero said to me: 'One learns more than simply how to tolerate mosquitoes or expertly swat a tsetse fly. From my first enforced stay in Africa (in Abyssinia with the Italian army) I was captivated by it.' During my association with Bottero I became acquainted with his wife Lea, a delightful Italian woman whom Bottero humorously depicts as a tiny figure standing outside the kraal in his canvas 'The Meeting'. It worried her a great deal to see her husband throw aside the comfortable world of European landscapes and prime ministers' heads but, one gathers, she is happy now that he made the choice. Bottero's favourite animal? 'The impala', he says. 'And then the elephant perhaps.' One can picture the wire-haired artist standing at his easel in the hot African sun beating off flies with his brush while his subjects a few metres away ('and often very helpful in posing') beat them off with their tails. My own reaction to Bottero's collection - and I speak as one who has been involved in both the artistic and the scientific side of African wildlife for many years - is one of deep admiration for a man who has painted Africa as it really is, warts and all. Quite apart from the commercial side of this collection - it is for sale and this book serves as a unique catalogue of what is being offered - I see it as a forceful argument for taking stock of what wildlife is still left in Africa. Bottero has produced a great epic. - James Clarke"

Cats of Africa
von Paul Bosman (Illustrationen) & Anthony Hall-Martin (Text), Vorwort von Anton E. Rupert
Gebundene Ausgabe, 152 Seiten, 65 Farb- & 89 Schwarzweißillustrationen, 10 Verbreitungskarten
Neues Fenster öffnen & Seite von anderer Website laden / Open new window & load page from other websiteFernwood Press (Südafrika), 1997, ISBN 1-874950-24-5
Klappentext: "Of Africa's ten cat species, the lion is the undisputed king - powerful symbol both of the wilderness and of this fascinating continent. The magnificent leopard, always mysterious and elusive, and the delicate cheetah, known for its graceful but explosive acceleration during the chase, are equally prized as game-viewing 'trophies'. Of the seven smaller cat species, long neglected in scientific studies and becoming increasingly rare, each has its own intricate role to play in the multi-faceted ecosystem of Africa. The caracal, serval, black-footed cat, African wild cat, African golden cat, swamp cat, and sand cat are here given the attention they so richly deserve. Cats of Africa brings together two friends and leading authorities on African wildlife to celebrate its splendours. An impressive blend of eloquent and inspired artwork, factual accuracy based on research and personal experience, and realistic conservation philosophy, this book will appeal to anyone with an interest in wildlife - from armchair game viewers to professional conservationists and students of the natural history of Africa. Discerning judges of the best in contemporary wildlife art, as well as collectors of high-quality books and Africana, will also be delighted by this publication. The text is both informative and scientifically accurate, yet written in an easily readable, personal and anecdotal style. It is also realistic, squarely facing all the pertinent issues of cat conservation and management. With the exception of the leopard and the caracal, all of Africa's cats are endangered and depend on humankind to protect them. Whilst Cats of Africa first and foremost offers a celebration of feline beauty and grace, it also clearly puts the case for the conservation and proper management of the complex ecosystems that support Africa's ten cat species."

Desert Adventure
In Search of Wilderness in Namibia and Botswana
von Paul Augustinus, Vorwort von Steve Bales
Gebundene Ausgabe, 240 Seiten, 25 Farb- & 127 Schwarzweißillustrationen, 111 Farbfotos, 14 Farbkarten
Acorn Books (Südafrika), Dezember 1997, ISBN 1-874802-08-4
Klappentext: "Desert Adventure describes a year-long journey, made by wilderness artist Paul Augustinus, through the rich diversity of desert landscapes of the Namib and the Kalahari. Infused with the spirit of adventure, it is an odyssey in search of southern Africa's last remnants of unspoiled and untamed wilderness. Paul's own story is enlivened and given substance by the inclusion of narratives from the explorers of the past, one of whom described travelling in Africa as requiring 'the endurance of a camel and the courage of a lion'. The journey begins at the edge of the wilderness, among the dunes of Sossusvlei, and continues through Walvis Bay and the delights of Swakopmund into the lonely, rugged scenery of the Kaokoveld. Through the artist's eyes, we see a land of mountains, vast plains, and dry riverbeds inhabited by myriad forms of wildlife. We share the excitement of being surprised by elephants close to the camp at night, and the thrill of encountering the rare desert rhino, and gaze at the ancient rock engravings at Twyfelfontein. Leaving the arid grandeur of the Kaokoveld, we enter a world of dazzling sand dunes and turbulent ocean - the Skeleton Coast - and are regaled with stories of coastal lions and desert elephants, and the many shipwrecks still visible on the beaches. After the freedom of the wilderness, the Etosha National Park, where nature is 'controlled' by man, appears tame by comparison, but this lack is more than made up for by the abundance of its wild animals and the drama of their encounters. Lion and cheetah chases and the competitive interactions between elephant, rhino and lion around the waterholes are vividly captured by the pen, brush and camera of the author. The Okavango, the unique swampland of the northern Kalahari Desert, with its secret waterways and wealth of wildlife, is Paul's next goal, and here he embarks on two dugout canoe trips into its northern reaches, far from the normal tourist routes, to encounter buffalo and lion - and the legendary honeyguide - at close quarters. The final stages of this epic journey take us through Moremi to the massive elephant herds of the Chobe National Park, where Paul's vehicle was attacked and damaged by elephants. Lavishly illustrated by the author's paintings, photographs, and pencil sketches of animals and birds in their natural settings, as well as by detailed maps, this desert adventure is for all to experience and to treasure."
