"Tales of Zambia" is a collection of 86 separate short vignettes about Zambian history, culture, nature and natural wonders. It is illustrated with a great number of photographs. In my copy, they're all black and white. I'm not sure if the hardcover is the same.
Among the stories, there are short accounts of grass burning in the bush to catch rodents, the establishment of the Munda-Wanga Botanical Gardens outside of Lusaka, the Chirundu Fossil Forest (now mostly destroyed by neglect and ravaging tourists), and the Livingstone Memorial where Dr. David Livingston was buried. There are also accounts of the discovery of Victoria Falls and the amazing disaster and recovery during the Mufulira copper mine Collapse in the 1970's.
For the most part, I think this a book that would appeal to people who have lived in Zambia, or have a distinct interest in this region of Africa. As I said, the vignettes are of a very nostalgic nature and have their greatest appeal for someone familiar with the country.
I myself enjoyed the book greatly. It reminded me of home.
