Schillings hunted with a camera before it was fashionable, and his flash caught lions, black-hoofed antelope, and a giraffe standing in shimmering velt light. Volume one opens with the spell of the elelescho and fills with the game of German East Africa as few had seen it. Pioneering wildlife photography, described in the field. Step onto the plains after dark.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
