Are you thinking about a safari to Africa, whether for hunting or game viewing? This book is one you should read. Although out of print, it has become a collectors item amongst the hunters in Africa.

In the words of Conservationist Ian Player (who wrote the forward) "Hunting has always been and will continue to be a vital part of the conservation scene." He concluded by saying "In time to come this book will be valuable Africana."

Part 1 of the book deals with all the logistics of the hunting expedition (planning, basic requirements, the camp, hunting rifles, tracking, bullet placement, trophy measurement and basic skinning techniques.

Part 2 moves on to the details regarding the quarry (identification, habitat, habits, best hunting areas and hunting tips).

Whether it is your first safari or you have vast experience this book will enhance your very next trip with practical advice and ideas.

When enjoying sundowners in the african bush around a crackling fire after your first day out you will appreciate the value of this book.

When I first glanced at this book, I thought it would be an entertaining and thought-provoking read. I was wrong. The book masks itself as a novel dealing with the issue of prayer in public places. However, it's really nothing more than a love story. The book is rather easy to read, but is also extremely boring. However, it doesn't start out that way. The first few chapters are quite exciting, beginning when teacher Robert Farr inadvertently says the word "Amen" at the end of a moment of silence. What starts out as a fight against a hard-hearted principal ends up leading to a battle against the United States government. But, that's just the fringe to a budding romance between Farr and a younger teacher at his school. So much promise, but no deliverance.

This book is ok near the end but the starting causes boardom.SORRY SOO SHORT
