Through this book, filled with full-color, full-page photographs, the reader/viewer is able to experience the photographer’s reflections and perspectives on the Namibian natural world. The book includes excerpts from historical and contemporary texts and a chapter on rock art written by the last Italian ambassador to Namibia, in addition to the numerous photographs collected by Schoeman."
