From Booklist

It is difficult to find enough superlatives to describe photographer Wolfe. Winner of numerous awards honoring both his photographs and his commitment to conservation, he is one of the most published nature photographers today. Africa presents a selection from 20 years of his career, and it easily makes a place for itself in the crowded field of books about the second largest continent. Divided into five sections, the photos are grouped by habitat type: savannah, woodland, rain forest, wetland and desert. Each section begins with an essay introducing the reader to the area's ecosystem, animals, and people. The photographs that follow are simply amazing. Following the format of his Living Wild [BKL O 15 00], Wolfe has included numerous panoramic views that place the animals in the context of their environment. Scattered throughout are intimate close-ups of smaller creatures, such as lizards and kingfishers. "Notes from the Field" provide Wolfe's jottings about the photos, including camera and lens types and exposure readings. Nancy Bent

From Library Journal

Wolfe (Living Wild) and Gilders (Reflections of a Whale-Watcher) are not as comprehensive or informative as Reader and, alas, revive that dubious perception of Africa as primarily a land of wildlife and untamed terrain, an unfortunate aspect of the Westerner's fascination with the continent. They provide stunning pictures of already familiar wildlife and landscape, while the accompanying text crusades for conservation and preservation. To Wolfe and Gilders, Africa exists only in those regions where exotic wildlife abounds. South and East Africa are thus transformed into surrogates for the entire continent; a limited view indeed! Reader's volume is recommended for all public and academic libraries, while Wolfe and Gilders's is recommended for larger public libraries only. Edward K.

Featuring a foreword by Jane Goodall of chimpanzee research fame, Africa: Photography is tremendous, spectacular display of truly lush, wondrous color photographs of natural wildlands and wildlife taken by Art Wolfe . A few pictures of African tribes people are also to be found amidst captures of lions, elephants, monkeys, pelicans, and so much more. Natural splendor abounds in this captivating gallery, and the highly informative text commentary adds depth and understanding to the many eye-catching images. With a foreword by Jane Goodall and an informative text by Michelle Gilders, Africa is enthusiastically recommended for armchair travelers, nature lovers, and anyone with an interest in the majestic splendor and majesty of the African wildlands.

wow. amazing work. 21. September 2003

Von Andrew Biggs - Ver�ffentlicht auf Amazon.com

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe

This is one of my favorite photo books of all time. Very inspiring to me, as I lead 6 trips per year on photo safaris, teaching people how to photograph along the way. So this book hits home for me. I can definitely appreciate the nuances in his photos, as well as the time spent waiting for the shots. If you are looking for a wildlife / landscape / cultural book on Africa, this is a great place to start. I suspect there are many photos in this book that overlap with his 'Tribes' book, so that is my next book from Art.

Just plain stunning!!! 3. Januar 2002

Von Mark Wagner - Ver�ffentlicht auf Amazon.com

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe

As an avid Art Wolfe fan, I bought this book expecting the typical magnificent photography that I have come to expect from this master!!!

After buying "The Living Wild", I knew that this book would also feature the usual stunning work of Mr. Wolfe.

Forget about this book as just a coffee table book..it goes way beyond the usual "coffee" books that you see. Not only does Mr. Wolfe provide us with superb images, he also provides us with the technical information about the many images made.

As a dedicated Nikon user, I can appreciate his images being made mostly by Canon cameras...he simply shows what any great photographer knows..it is the person behind the camera that makes the images, not the camera!!. However, the technical information is quite nice!!

Bravo, and heartily recommended!!!
