Klappentext: "The spectacular African Rift Valley, a 3,500-mile trough in the earth's crust stretching from the Afar Triangle to Mozambique, is a region of unparalleled cultural and geological variety. In the words of Patrick Hemingway, whose introduction sets the stage for the remarkable photographs in VALLEY OF LIFE: AFRICÄS GREAT RIFT, it is "one of the most diverse living spaces on earth. . . . It is also most likely the place we humans all came' from." National Geographie photographer Chris Johns spent 18 months along the Rift, traveling from Ethiopia to Malawi, from Zambia to Zaire, encountering people who, äs he notes in his sensitive and candid text, might just äs well have walked "out of a mirage" for all their exoticism to Westerners. There he learned to see and communicate their essential humanity in moving images of a young Turkana mother delighting in her infant, Afar nomads gathering salt in 135-degree heat, night fishermen toiling over their nets on Lake Malawi. He also rediscovered his capacity to remain open to whatever the moment might offer, to notice that "the iron-laced brines rising from fissures in Lake Karum below me resembled the mixture of blood and mud I had seen in a hoofprint near a Serengeti zebra kill." And through this constant shifting of perspectives, where one can't be certain whether his camera is six inches or six hundred feet from his subject, he shows us the Rift Valley äs few have ever seen it. In his introduction, Hemingway deftly interweaves an account of a hunting safari with the story of the Rift's beginnings some 65 million years ago. Informed by his lifelong acquaintance with Africa and her people, he explains how the highlands, where volcanoes erupt with terrifying force, nourish the region. From Chris Johns' unforgettable aerial shot of camels casting shadows in perfect Silhouette across the cracked white salt flats of Lake Assal to his classic study of a massive bull elephant grasping a tiny green spr% in his trunk, VALLEY OF LIFE allows us to discover for ourselves the power and passion of the land that cradled our species."
