liberrydude's review against another edition
5.0
Visually stunning. Pictures will leave you awestruck. Photos are timeless but time is running out for these animals. I'm going to have to buy this eventually. Well worth the $50. Or maybe I'll just contribute that money to one of several websites that will help protect these animals. The author cites them in his introduction.

4.0
This book of photographs of the wild animals of East Africa was inspired by photographer Nick Brandt's recognition of the dwindling animal populations and the effect increased human activity has had on the environment and the lives the animals struggle to lead.
The photography is amazing, with a mix of intimate and panoramic views, showing us the emotional lives of the animals as well as their interaction with the landscape.
Commentary is included at the beginning of the book by Brandt as well as philosopher Peter Singer and photography critic Vicki Goldberg. Also included are suggestions of where to give to aid in the preservation of these animal communities.
This book is compelling. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
