Africa

by Michael Poliza

  • NATURAL HISTORY
  • 2006
  • HARD COVER

Cape Town-based Poliza's 12-pound behemoth (packaged in its own carrying case) is a labor of love -- and worth every cent. It's a lavishly produced, mesmerizing celebration of the diversity of Africa and especially its wildlife. The German photographer loves color and pattern, abundantly on display here, with each of the 180 exquisite images printed across two jumbo pages. He followed up with a breathtaking helicopter journey from Hamburg to Cape Town, showcased in his new book, Eyes Over Africa.  (AFR180, $125.00)
