Klappentext: "Near the north-eastern
border of Zambia lies the Luangwa Valley. Twice the size of Wales it supports one of the greatest
concentrations of wildlife to be found anywhere in the world. It is a place of dramatic contrasts of climate
(magnificently illustrated by the photographs in this book), a place where luxuriant vegetation alternates
with scorched mud and parched, leafless trees in the dry season. Here Nature is master and man the intruder.
Norman Carr knows the Luangwa Valley as no other man does for he has lived and worked in the region for
almost forty years, first as a wildlife control officer and most recently as an organizer of visits by the
curious outsider. His soul belongs in this wilderness which is, for him, not just a geophysical entity but a
spiritual home. Here he has rescued elephant embedded in the mud and dying from heat exhaustion. Here he has
lived in partnership with lion, baboon, zebra and buffalo. But here too he has lost three human companions,
killed by wild animals during the course of their work. To their memory this book is dedicated. The first
part of the book introduces the reader to the Valley as an ecological unit. Next the author takes the reader
through the months of the year, pointing to the climatic changes and the varying patterns of animal
behaviour adapting to the seasonal changes of vegetation. Finally he guides the reader, accompanying him in
the imagination, on a walking safari for which the earlier part of the book has been a preparation. In Valley
of the Elephants Norman Carr is able to communicate his feelings about Luangwa in a way that no other
human being could. The book is an invitation to the reader to join him in this wilderness, to share with him
the experience of living and working in one of the most astounding nature sanctuaries in the world."

The White Impala
The Story of a Game Ranger
von Norman Carr, Vorwort von Prinz Bernhard der Niederlande
Gebundene Ausgabe, 212 Seiten, 1 Farb-
& 25 SW-Fotos auf 21 Tafeln, 1 Karte William Collins Sons &
Co. (UK), August 1969
Klappentext: "What turns a man from
an elephant poacher, intent on killing and proud of his marksmanship, into a conservationist who has
transformed vast stretches of the Rhodesian bush into two of the most successful game reserves in Africa?
Norman Carr has written one of the outstanding animal stories of our time. In that book, Return to the
Wild, he described how he reared two male lion cubs found orphaned in the Kafue National Park and, when
they were mature, returned them to the bush. Apart from the story of his lions the book was remarkable for
its observations of wild life; similar sidelights on animal behaviour make The White Impala most
delightful reading. This time elephants dominate the picture. Once his quarry, they became the subject of
some of his most rewarding studies, and in the final pages he describes the experiments that are now going
on in Africa to regulate their place in the balance of nature. Some unusual lions make their appearance,
with such other curiosities as the uniquely coloured impala which provides his title, 'nsulu', the bird
which by its commotion deliberately leads man to the combs of wild honey it has discovered, and those
members of the human race who favour a diet of wild caterpillars. Above all it is the interdependence of
men, animals and their habitat which is the theme of The White Impala: it is not only
autobiographical, but prophetic."

von Chris McBride
Gebundene Ausgabe, 220 Seiten, 80
Farbfotos auf Tafeln, Schwarzweißillustrationen, 3 Karten
Ernest Stanton Publishers (Südafrika), 1977, ISBN 0-949997-32-3
Synopsis: "In this world of
disappearing and endangered natural species, a phenomenon has taken place that could mark the beginning of a
new strain of Lions. White lions - not albinos, but normal healthy lions as white as polar bears, with eyes
only a shade lighter than the golden yellow of a tawny lions eyes. And for once, man, responsible for the
destruction of so much wildlife, is in a position to use a whole battery of new and sophisticated techniques
to protect and foster these unique animals - Temba, Tombi and Phuma: the white lions of Timbavati (South
Africa). This is the fascinating account of their discovery, as well as the touching and hopeful story of
one family's compassion and concern for their survival."

Wildcare
The Story of Karen Trendler and her
African Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre
Synopsis: "This title tells the
stories – some heart-warming and some heartbreaking – of a few of the thousands of animals that have
passed through the wild animal rehabilitation centre, Wildcare. Karen
Trendler started the centre from her kitchen in 1986, and it has since developed into a South African
success story. Karen Trendler has become the International Fund for Animal Welfare's (IFAW) world expert on wildlife
rehabilitation, in particular of rhinos and sea life affected by oil spills. Wildcare tries to
give each patient the chance of release into the wild. Some of the innovative and imaginative treatments
related in the title include: smearing human hand-moisturising cream on baby rhinos to prevent their skin
cracking, feeding injured tortoises strawberry juice and raising wild dog puppies in the family bedroom. A
strong conservation thread runs throughout the title, and it explains how wild animal rehabilitation has
moved from a backyard hobby to a highly complex operation that plays an important role in the survival of
our wildlife."
