Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Human fascination with lions is long-standing and won't diminish as long as photographers keep making images of them as powerful, memorable, and beautiful as Iwago's. There is almost nothing between these covers that is not image; the introduction is barely more than four pages, the captions never exceed three lines, and the typefaces of both are small (sharp, though). No one should complain, even though the subject matter--hunting, feeding, mating, playing, resting, and showing off those marvelous fangs--is familiar past the point of mere cliche. There are some surprises: a male killing another in a fight, some females contentedly mudbathing, wide-eyed lions being very careful around some elephants. Again and again, Iwago provides an especially fine image, sometimes because of framing and composition, sometimes because of an animal's expression, most strikingly because of his practice of infusing the expected golden tones of a picture with violet.

From Library Journal
Iwago (Mitsuaki Iwago's Kangaroos, Chronicle, 1994) uses photographs to tell of his visit to the African plain and his stay among the lions there. Clear and distinct photos describe the life history of the pride, including the hunt, usually undertaken by the pride's females. Other aspects of the lions' lives are shown as well: reproduction, litter care, training of the young, territory and pride protection by the male, feeding, and resting. The text is limited to a short introduction and single-sentence captions for each photograph. Through extended stays on the Serengeti, Iwago has concluded that, despite the appellation "king of the jungle," lions actually "live among a variety of savanna inhabitants and are merely links in an extremely complex chain of existence." No other book on the market closely parallels this one. Highly recommended for all general collections.?Mary J. Nickum, Bozeman, Mont.

Iwago has brought to us breathtaking photos of the Lion....in their world.........the glory and the defeat of this most powerful animal clearly portrayed. I am always awed by Iwago's ability as a photographer......he has a special gift for capturing animals on film and In The Lion's Den is solid evidence of his talent !!

Very informative book for all lion lovers.
2. Januar 1997
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is a very informative book about lions. The book has
lots of pictures. There are some pictures that contain
blood in it. Though it's only because it shows a lion
killing its prey. As a lion lover I really enjoyed this
book. I've been trying to locate a book like this one.
There are also cute pictures of lion cubs playing around.
Overall it's a very nice and informative picture book about
the "King of the Beasts".

More Iwago brilliance but with poor text and printing
21. Oktober 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
I have always thought that Mitsuaki Iwago's nature photography is unsurpassed. His ability to capture images that are original is uncanny. For anyone interested in the Serengeti-Ngorongoro ecosystem, or African Wildlife in general, "In the Lion's Den" is definitely worth buying. However, the superb photographs are let down by poor printing and limitations in the text accompanying the images. The captions rarely relate well to the images and, in some cases, appear to be incorrect. For example, several pages in the middle of the book show stunning photographs of two male lions fighting. The final photograph in the sequence shows a male lion roaring with a caption indicating that the victor remains in a high state of tension. However, the lion pictured has no blood on its muzzle, whereas the preceding photographs show the bloodied victor biting through the scull of its opponent.
Despite the limitations, I would still recommend this book on the basis of the photographs alone. However, for those also hoping for informative writing on lion behaviour, this book would prove to be disappointing. Another thing I noticed was that the printing quality was poor compared to his other books.
