Book Summary
Gerald Hoberman is a master of the art of photography and, with his son Marc, has produced a fascinating portrait of Namibia. Their lenses roam widely as they scan the environment to capture the essence of the subject under scrutiny. The results are sheer poetry: the wondrous shapes of the Namib Desert, its dunes, gravel plains and mountains rendered in rich colors of apricot and lavender, copper and honey...a flock of flamingos flying across Sandwich Harbor lagoon, casting stippled shadows on the water below...and the fog-shrouded Skeleton Coast - 'the coast of diamonds and death' - where ships come to grief in a capricious sea. Gerald and Marc train their lenses on the reed-fringed waterways in the Caprivi and Okavango regions, the wildlife kingdom of Etosha National Park and the frolicking seals crowding the desert beaches. Their photographs also reflect the diversity of the country's people, from the San, whose predecessors left a priceless treasury of art on rocks and cave walls, to the pastoral Himba, the 'ochre people' who live in the rugged Kaokoveld. The European influence does not escape the photographers' viewfinder either. Namibia was once part of the German empire and, as the photographs show, the colonial ambiance still pervades the capital city and smaller towns. Gerald and Marc ventured into Namibia's heart and emerged with a remarkable synthesis of images and words that reflect the harsh beauty, primordial grandeur and rich diversity of this extraordinary land.

In addition, the author explains the economic benefits of the sportsman's presence, and how ethical hunting is a tool for game protection and management on the continent.

Not since Peter Capstick's Africa has the author taken the reader along on safari. In this superbly illustrated book, Capstick returns to the veld with an ace video cameraman and leading African wildlife photographer Dr. M. Philip Kahl. one hundred of Dr. Kahl's striking color photos capture perfectly life and death in the "land of thirst."

Book Descripption
Dans ce 3e tome de Namibia, la série réalisée par Leo, Rodolphe et Marchal, Miss Austin sort du coma après le grave « accident » de voiture dont elle a été victime et lors duquel le major a perdu la vie...
Ce 3e épisode de Namibia nous replonge en Namibie à la fin des années 1940. On y retrouve Katy Austin qui, depuis son accident, a perdu la mémoire des événements récents. Elle n'est donc pas en mesure de raconter ce qu'elle a vu lors de sa mission, notamment la fameuse base souterraine. Sujette à des cauchemars, elle revit pourtant certaines scènes effrayantes qui, progressivement, lui permettent de retrouver le fil des événements. Au même moment, un mystérieux prophète venu des États-Unis et soi-disant capable d'accomplir des miracles fait de plus en plus parler de lui. Le MI5 est d'autant plus inquiet de cette popularité que ce prophète semble avoir un lien avec les événements de Namibie...

Namibia est la deuxième saison de Kenya, une bande dessinée d'aventures fantastiques.
