AT THE HAND OF MAN; Peril and Hope for Africa's Wildlife
New York: Knopf, 1993. First edition. Hardcover. 6 x 9, 322 pgs, index, bibliography, notes. In a book often shocking, always passionate and inevitably controversial, the author brings desperately needed illumination to one of the most important and emotional issues of our time: the threat to Africa's wildlife, and especially to the elephant. In cutting through prevailing misinformation to documented truth, he makes abundantly clear that unless we address the needs of Africans in their poverty and despair--instead of attempting to impose culturally biased Western solutions--the people will out of necessity destroy the wildlife, no matter how much Westerners protest. Good+. Item #29835
