Book DescriptionIn the wild, time unfolds in a series of fleeting and sometimes dramatic moments - a crocodile seizes a drinking zebra; a fleeing impala soars above its fellows in a huge bound; an eagle snatches a fish from the lake surface; elephant andwhite rhino clash at a waterhole. All these moments, and many more, are captured in East Africa Alive as it explores the ancient themes of courtship and birth, conflict and rivalry, life and death. Each theme is introduced by an authoritative text and illustrated with some of the best photos ever taken in East Africa. Detailed, descriptive captions accompany the images.
