Gray cloth covers with silver lettering to spine. Pages clean and unmarked. 327 illustrations including 244 plates in full color, 75 line drawings and 9 maps. The region of Ethiopia and its surrounding countries--the Horn of Africa--is known today as a lad of famine and war, but it is also the last secret kingdom of the world, a land of mystery and fierce beauty. Cut off by soaring mountains ranges, burning lava deserts, unexplored wildernesses, and an isolated Indian Ocean coastline, the Horn of Africa is a great Art that has, for centuries, sheltered an astonishing variety of societies. From the sophisticated cultures of the Christian highlands and the Islamic Coast to the proud nomads of the Ogaden desert and the primitive tribes of the last wildernesses of the continent, the region is a true microcosm of Africa and a time capsule in which we can see many of the stages of the development of modern culture. Matching the eloquence of the photographs is a highly informative and readable text by Graham Hancock, a longtime observer of life in the region.

Cut off by soaring mountain ranges, burning lava deserts, unexplored wildernesses, and an isolated Indian Ocean coastline, the Horn of Africa is a great Ark that has, for centuries, sheltered an astonishing variety of societies. From the sophisticated cultures of the Christian highlands and the Islamic coast to the proud nomads of the Ogaden desert and the primitive tribes of the last wlldernesses of the continent, the region is a true microcosm of Africa and a time capsule in which we can see many of the stages of the development of modern culture. Inspired by deep knowledge and love of the region, this magnificent book from two of the world's outstanding photographers, Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher, is the record of a five-year journey of discovery. XX CAROL BECKWITH was born and educated in the United States. Since 1972 she has travelled throughout Africa, living with the Maasai of Kenya and Tanzania, and the Wodaabe of Niger. These experiences led to her two photographic books, Maasai (with Tepilit Ole Saitoti, 1980), which received the Annisfield-Wolf Award in Race Relations, and Nomads of Niger (with Marion van Offelen, 1984), which became the subject of her award-winning film, Way of the Wodaabe (1988). Her photographs have been exhibited and published in the United States, Europe, Japan, and Africa. ANGELA FISHER was born and educated in Australia. Since 1970 she has spent most of her time in Africa. Her first book was Africa Adorned (1984), the acclaimed photographic record of the jewelery and body decoration of the entire continent. She has also photographed traditional ceremonies and everyday life in the Yemen, Afghanistan, Nepal, Ladakh, and India. Her photographs and collections of ethnic jewelry have been exhibited in Europe, the United States, Canada, Kenya, and Australia. GRAHAM HANCOCK, formerly East Africa correspondent for the Economist, has spent fifteen years travelling in the Horn of Africa and studying its peoples. He is the author of several books on the region including Ethiopia: The Challenge of Hunger (1985), Under Ethiopian Skies (1983) and, most recently, Lords (1989).
