to me. Excellent text & magnificent photos
captivated me. I could not put it down.
Five years ago, brothers Anup and Manoj Shah produced "The Circle of Life," a superlative collection of African wildlife photography; so when I read about their follow-up book, "African Odyssey," I was eager to get it.
"African Odyssey" is a photographic record of the Great Migration of wildebeests and zebras through the Serengeti ecosystem of Tanzania and Kenya. Other books have been published on this subject, but this one is a year-long, day-by-day account of the photographers' sightings as they follow the wandering herds and observe the many predators and environmental perils with which they come in contact -- 365 eventful days, 365 full-page photos, 365 meaty captions.
Though "African Odyssey" lacks the elegant design of "The Circle of Life," and though many of its striking images cry out for a larger page than this compact volume affords, it's a recommended addition to the bookshelf of anyone interested in Africa and its remarkable wildlife.

Thick little book filled with photos!
For its size (compact), there are 365 pages of amazing full-color photos of African wildlife in this thick little book. Great reference book. Great for those in love with Africa and African wildlife! Compact and sturdy. Wonderful and often exciting Nature photography!
