White Hunters: The Golden Age of African Safaris $15.98 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.

Hemingway and Africa $80 Africa was a major factor in Hemingway's life and work, serving as setting and theme for two of his best-known stories and important sections of his novel 'The Garden of Eden', and giving rise to a considerable amount of journalism, book-length accounts of his two safaris, and a great deal of witty correspondence. But surprisingly little scholarship has been devoted to the African aspects of Hemingway's life and work. This book fills that niche, opening the way for a long-delayed and multi-faceted conversation on a neglected aspect of Hemingway's work.

An Affair with Africa $17.98 This animated and entertaining account of the varied and often colourful aspects of district administration in rural Tanganyika (Tanzania) during the last years of Britain’s trusteeship will dispel many misconceptions about colonial life.

Although the style is understated, the reader will be aware of the writer’s affection for Africa and for the people amongst whom he lived and worked. This book will appeal to the serious and casual student of African affairs and history, and to anyone who takes pleasure in reading of unfamiliar events in distant places.

Africa: A Photographic Safari $13.98 Ever since he was a teenager growing up in Houston, Texas, Carlyle Thompson wanted to visit Africa. In 2006, he got his chance. Thompson shares his incredible journey to one of the world’s most mysterious countries in "Africa: A Photographic Safari."

He explores the red soil of Africa for five days in the bush, and through the lens of his camera he is exposed to a completely different aspect of visiting a foreign country. From wildlife safaris to coming face-to-face with the Laikipia Masai and Samburu people, Thompson experiences Africa at its most intimate. Thompson’s stunning pictures and vivid descriptions create a sobering portrait of Africa’s poverty. In a place so rich in mystical beauty, minerals, and wildlife, Africa’s poor present a marked contrast to their environment.

Hemingway in Africa: The Last Safari $8.48 Africa was an obsession for Hemingway throughout his life. Long before he wrote "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" and The Green Hills of Africa, he had been enthralled as a ten-year-old by newspaper accounts of the African expedition undertaken in 1909 by his boyhood idol, Theodore Roosevelt. In writing Hemingway in Africa, Christopher Ondaatje, an explorer and adventurer himself, followed the trial of Hemingway’s two major African safaris–through Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda–and analyzed Hemingway’s writings to uncover a startling amount of new material on this vitally important aspect of his life and work. Hemingway in Africa is lavishly illustrated with rarely seen period photos, including a photo of the actual leopard that inspired "The Snows of Kilimanjaro; " photos of mid-century Mombasa and Nairobi, and the wreckage of the 1954 plane crash near Murchison Falls that nearly claimed Hemingway’s life. These are complemented by Ondaatje’s own stunning photos of Masai tribe members, African wildlife, and the awe-inspiring landscape. Hemingway in Africa provides compelling insight into the mind of the author for whom dangerous exploits were "an effort to relieve the intensity of existing at the edge."
