The narrative of A Story like the Wind continues in A Far-Off Place.

    A lone Nigerian mother is determined to carve a place for herself against all odds.

    

    Schaller’s The Serengeti Lion describes the vast impact of the lion and other predators on the vast herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle for which the area is famous. The most comprehensive book available on the lion, this classic work includes the author’s findings on all aspects of lion behavior, including its social system, population dynamics, hunting behavior, and predation patterns.“If you have only enough time to read one book about field biology, this is the one I recommend.”—Edward O. Wilson, Science“This book conveys not only the fascination of its particular study of lion behavior but the drama and wonder and beauty of the intimate interdependence of all living things.”—Saturday Review“This is an important book, not just for its valuable information on lions, but for its broad, open, and intelligent approach to problems that cut across the fields of behavior, populations, ecology, wildlife management, evolution, anthropology, and comparative biology.”—Richard G. Van Gelder, Bioscience

    The story describes the pain of Awoonor's voluntary exile and his spiritual return to his native land.

    Historical connections with other continents demonstrate Africa's contribution to the development of human civilization. Each volume is lavishly illustrated and contains a comprehensive bibliography.

    He skillfully portrays the daily lives of herdsmen and hunter-gatherers; the drama of the predator kills; the hundreds of exotic animals; the breathtaking landscapes; and the area's turbulent natural, political, and social histories.

    His work has been intimately connected with the three ruling influences in his life: his birth and childhood in Paris, his World War One experiences an his growing consciousness of his Boer heritage, stemming from his father's people who came to South Africa with Van Riebeeck.In this first volume of autobiography, Stuart Cloete describes with loving nostalgia Paris of La Belle Epoque, when women were feminine, fathers were stern and children seen and seldom heard except by their wet-nurses and uniformed nannies.After attending public school in England, Stuart Cloete went straight into the army, being one of the youngest commissioned officers in the war, in which he served in the Yorkshire Light Infantry, transferring later to the Coldstream Guards. Twice wounded in action, the second time very seriously, readers of How Young They Died will soon realise how much of his own story went into that superb novel of life in the trenches, with the blood and mud relieved only occasionally by the gaiety of London. This first volume ends in 1922 when Major Stuart Cloete, now married, resumes life in France.

    Written during the Nigerian Civil War, this collection of poetry won the Commonwealth Poetry Prize in 1972.

    

    

    

    

    They are proud, often cruel, warrior herdsmen whose oldest members live just as they did hundreds of years ago, but whose younger members sometimes learn to read and write and have brushed against the modern world. Elizabeth Marshall Thomas accompanied three anthropological expeditions to Africa and lived among the Dodoth. She displays a remarkable ability to communicate with the tribespeople and describe their lives and customs.

    Opening with a bizarre social gathering at a lush country estate (Seven Days at the Silbersteins), continuing in the second volume as a political thriller-extraordinary (One for the Devil), and ending with a disturbing hunt for a sex murderer (The Third Eye), To a Dubious Salvation is an epic of the imagination where politics, philosophy and religion are subverted by powerful erotic forces.
