White Hunters: The Golden Age of African Safaris $16.98 East Africa affects our imagination like few other places: The sight of a charging rhino goes directly to the heart; the limitless landscape of bony highlands, desert, and mountain is, as Isak Dinesen wrote, of "unequalled nobility." White Hunters is the story of seventy years of African adventure, danger, and romance. It re-creates the legary big-game safaris led by Selous and Bell and the daring ventures of early hunters into unexplored territories, and brings to life such romantic figures as Cape-to-Cairo Grogan, who walked 4,000 miles for the love of a woman, and Dinesen’s dashing lover, Denys Finch. Witnesses to the richest wildlife spectacle on the earth, these hunters were the first conservationists. Hard-drinking, infatuated with risk, and careless in love, they inspired Hemingway’s stories and movies with Clark Gable and Gregory Peck.

Giants of the Forest – African Hunting Adventures $39.48 GIANTS OF THE FOREST African Hunting Adventures By W. S. CHADWICK ILLUSTRATED THE BOBBS-MERRILL COMPANY PUBLISHERS INDIANAPOLIS KINO LKO PREFACE THIS book has been compiled from material pub lished in four continents during the past eighteen months, and at the request of many South African readers who have written kindly letters of interest and appreciation. While hoping it may prove of general interest, I particularly invite the attention of natural history students to the various traits in the larger fauna wherein my description differs from that given in some standard works. Each incident is related as it actually occurred, and the conclusions drawn are based on the experiences of twenty-five years in close contact with the wild life of Africa. Capt. Arnold Wienholt, D, S. 0. M. C., author of The Story of a Lion Hunt, wrote in the Brisbane Itcdly Mail as a preface to my lion stories These stories are the best I have read, with the possible ex ception of Selouss and I have read all I could get Captain Wienholt visits Africa every two years, and last year lived for seven months alone in a district bordering the Kalahari. He has both shot lions and studied them, and is a competent critic. A Dutch editor who has commissioned me to write PREFACE a school-book series of Nature stories, recently ad mitted that even in South Africa and especially among the younger generation a lamentable igno rance exists concerning the African fauna. Owing to the conditions under which alone observation is possible, observers are likely to grow fewer with the passage of time, and it is hoped therefore that this contribution may not be without value. The book has been compiled as the stories were written forserial use under camp conditions during a Rhodesian rainy season while time has been limited by my engagement to conduct an American hunting party this season. To these facts, and my limited journalistic experience, defects in construction and technique must be ascribed. On those grounds I ask the indulgence of the critical reader. My grateful thanks are due to the following periodicals for consistent kindness and encourage ment during my initial essays in free-lance journal ism, and for their courtesy in allowing me to include in this volume material that has appeared in their issues Cape ArguJs, Cape Times, Brisbane Daily Mail Pictorial Weekly London, Field and Stream New York, Sydney Sun, Game and Gwi Lon don, Wide-World Magazine London and New York, Weekly Scotsman and Answers.

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III APPEOACHING AFRICA THE Southwest monsoon and a heavy sea caused the captain to change his course, going far to the south in an ocean current running in his direction at ten knots a day. The decks were piled high with baskets of onions which somehow managed to weather the gale, and to kill odours which to the passengers were still more disagreeable. Driven southward by necessity, the ship came near to the Seychelle Islands whither the wicked King of Uganda had been banished after committing many dreadful crimes. Billy asked a friendly quartermaster to point out on a chart the "Sea-shell" Islands, near which the skipper had laid his course. While in the chart room an old sailor yielded to Billy’s importunity and told him a story about the good old days in Africa when the "old fellow," now residing on the "Sea-shells," was having the time of his life. "Well, pigmy-hunter, I will tell the story as I got it; it may not be exactly true, and then again it may. Anyway, such things did happen lots of times near the great lakes in the land of blacks. Once upon a timetwo missionaries went far into that savage country to teach them black duffers to love their neighbours instead of dining off of ‘em. Now, I don’t mean to say anything against them good people who think they ought to scrub the black off them fellows and polish them up into white folks; their intentions are O. K., but somehow I ain’t got much hope of a cannibal turning good. Well, them missionaries worked their way ‘cross country, and after mighty hard pulls came to where the old rascal?that’s now over there on the ‘Sea-shells’?was the whole show. Some of the niggers, you bet, were jolly glad to hang around the newcomers, for they had things that they could swipe. But this big chap who was the chief cook a…

Hunting with the Moon $4.48 Dereck and Beverly Joubert have lived among lions for most of their adult lives. Few people anywhere are on such intimate terms with these awe-inspiring creatures, and fewer still are the naturalists who can claim to have seen, let alone shared, their nocturnal forays. For unlike their East African cousins, the great cats of Savuti, a remarkable natural enclave just north of Botswana’s Okavango Delta, do almost all of their stalking and killing at night when the moon is just a sliver in the sky. 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. It’san extraordinary book, filled with stunning images, fascinating facts, and vivid anecdotes — a once-in-a-lifetime chance to enter the enthralling, unforgettable world of lions in the wild.

African Predators $39.48 From the sleek cheetah and the majestic lion to the oft-maligned hyena and opportunistic jackal, large carnivores reign supreme in the African wild. In African Predators, award-winning photographer Martin Harvey’s dramatic images complement biologist Gus Mills’s extensive field research to bring fourteen species of African carnivores to life. This group contains members of the families of cats (Felidae), hyenas (Hyaenidae), and dogs (Canidae), each with distinguishing as well as common characteristics. The caracal, commonly called the "African lynx, " has superior jumping ability, enabling it to catch birds as they take wing. The wild dog, which joins the Ethiopian wolf as Africa’s most endangered carnivores, is believed to be one of the most socially advanced species in the African bush. The aardwolf, like the jackal, is monogamous. Both the brown hyena and the leopard are able to survive close to human habitation. Mills describes the origins and evolution of these mighty predators, examines their social structures and hunting behaviors, discusses their competition with each other for shrinking territory and resources, and presents the conservation status and outlook for each. Harvey’s engaging full-color photographs bring the everyday existence of these majestic animals vividly to life.

Cheap $12.99 A myth-shattering investigation of the true cost of America’s passion for finding a better bargain From the shuttered factories of the Rust Belt to the strip malls of the Sun Belt-and almost everywhere in between-America has been transformed by its relentless fixation on low price. This pervasive yet little- examined obsession with bargains is arguably the most powerful and devastating market force of our time, having fueled an excess of consumerism that blights our land­scapes, escalates personal debt, lowers our standard of living, and even skews of our concept of time. Spotlighting the peculiar forces that drove Americans away from quality, durability, and craftsmanship and towards quantity, quantity, and more quantity, Ellen Ruppel Shell traces the rise of the bargain through our current big-box profusion to expose the astronomically high cost of cheap.
