(mit 2 Abb.). - Texte in deutsch und englisch. - "Seit 1961 ist Peter Beards ganze Existenz fest mit Afrika und Tieren verknüpft. Elefanten natürlich, aber auch Krokodile, Zebras, Büffel, Löwen, Nashörner, Antilopen, elegante Giraffen, herrlich majestätische Adler und schwerfällige Flusspferde bevölkern eine Welt, in welcher der Mensch einen natürlichen Platz einnimmt. Ohne das Gewalttätige in der Natur zu beschönigen, hinterfragt Peter Beard die selbstmörderische Torheit des Menschen - jene, die wir Fortschritt nennen und die auf der erbärmlichen Verehrung von Kommerz und Profit, von falschen Fassaden und äußerem Schein beruht" (C.

Researched, photographed, and compiled over 20 years, Peter Beard's End of the Game tells the tale oftheenterprisers, explorers, missionaries, and big-game hunters whose quests for adventure and "progress" were to change the face of Africa in the 20th century. This landmark volume is assembled from hundreds of historical photographs and writings, starting with the building of the Mombasa Railroad ("The Lunatic Line") and the opening-up of darkest Africa. The stories behind the heroic figures in Beard's workTheodore Roosevelt, Frederick Courtney Selous, Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen) , Denys Finch-Hatton (the romantic hero of Out of Africa) , Philip Percival, J. A. Hunter, Ernest Hemingway, and J. H. Patterson (who became famous as the relentless hunter of the "Man-Eating Lions of Tsavo") are all contextualized by Beard's own photographs of the enormous region. Shot in the 1960s and '70s in the Tsavo lowlands during theelephant-habitatcrisis and then in Uganda parks, Beard's studies of elephant and hippo population dynamics document the inevitable overpopulation and starvation of tens of thousands of elephants and rhinos.
