Seller's Comments: Very nice copy. Dust Jacket has small tears and dog-ears, but the book itself is unmarked and neat. Maps in front and back, one black and white photo section and one color photo section.
Full Description:
From the Dust Jacket: In 1974, carrying little more than a change of clothes and a pair of binoculars, two young Americans, Mark and Delia Owens, caught a plane to Africa, bought a third-hand Land Rover, and drove deep into the Kalahari Desert. There they lived for seven years, in an unexplored area with no roads, no people, and no source of water for thousands of square miles. They survived without a tent for the first year, taking shelter in a clump of trees or in the truck. In this vast wilderness they met animals that had never seen humans before, animals as curious about the Owenses as the Owenses were about them. They would wake in the morning to find lions sleeping beside them, and leopards, giraffes, and brown hyenas were regular visitors to the camp. But the Kalahari isn't Eden, and Mark and Delia were continually confronted with danger - from thirst, fire, violent storms, and even from the animals they loved. |
