About This Item
(London: Viking, 1991) 0670834777. 8vo; original green boards, lettered in white on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. ix + (i) + 145; maps; full-colour plates. Light browning to edges; occasional fox spot. Very good condition. "Concern for the future of the lion and the shrinking African wilderness which is his home compelled Gareth Patterson to embark on a remarkable 25 000-kilometre journey through Southern and Eastern Africa to investigate the status of the king of the beasts in our rapidly changing continent. He sets his findings against a historical picture of the lion's former range, showing just how vulnerable this magnificent animal has been to man's depredations. He looks, too, to the future - which need not be without hope. There are places where man himself has succeeded in reversing the product of his destructiveness, where wilderness has been reclaimed, where the lion has come back .. but there is no time to waste." .
