This book is the first of its kind produced in Zimbabwe, in that it caters for children from pre-school through junior school, in the understanding of wildlife. In deciding to produce this book, the author spoke to educationalists and conservationists, and realised that a book of this nature could also be used as a resource book in schools for the subject of environmental science. The content of this book has been designed to enable the child to see an illustration of the animal in an umcomplicated way. The Illus are large and have minimum background areas. Necessary background is shown to highlight environment, perspective or feeding habits in an unobtrusive way. The animals are lifelike in appearance. THE NAMES OF THE ANIMALS ARE IN THE THREE MAIN LANGUAGES OF ZIMBABWE, (INCLUDING ENGLISH), IN BOLD EDUCATIONAL TEXT. The remaining text is designed to relate facts about the animals to the child, in such a way that it can be read by teacher, parent or child minder (who may have no knowledge of wildlife). Sentence structure and vocabulary are simple so that the older child can also read the book.   Very Good Price: $15.00 (AUD) Book Number: 001057  Bookseller: Isabella Booksellers Postage Rates     Hoyi Na!

Author's Note - This book is not claimed to be a History of the Masai Tribe for the period in question, for the simple reason that no research, as such, has gone into this book; the Masai people having no way of recording their history other than by word of mouth being passed down from one generation to another. Each clan claimed for itself the more attractive attributes, accrediting those less desirable to the other clans. Although every incident has been confirmed on many different occasions, other stories with a slightly different slant, or the same version, but associated with different people, were also common, but less so. The customs and manner of speech in the novel are those of the Masai people. All the events and characters were genuine. The story is as it was related to me whilst living among the Masai in my early teens, as described in my book "Barefoot over the Serengeti". published by Cassells of London.  Near Fine Price: $60.00 (AUD) Book Number: 002457  Bookseller: Isabella Booksellers Postage Rates     South African Women on the Move Barrett, Jane ISBN: 0949138045 Pluto Press Australia North Melbourne, VIC, Australia 1985 First Australian Edition 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall Soft Cover 266pp. No markings or inscriptions.

Aged fifteen, Tammie Matson travelled to Zimbabwe with her father. That journey changed her forever. On her return to Australia, Tammie turned her life upside-down in order to find a way to build a future for herself in Africa. During her next visit, a year spent in Zimbabwe, Tammie played with a semi-tame cheetah, got taught the meaning of respect by elephants, dealt with poachers, saw a witchdoctor strike fear into his victims' hearts and took on a class of students, many twice her age, without a day's training. After being held at gun point by the war vets in her friends' home in Zimbabwe, Tammie moved north to Namibia and settled in Etosha National Park, where she worked as a researcher from 2000 on. In that harsh, dry, devastatingly beautiful land, Tammie braved the language barrier, the male-dominated society, and the physical hardships to create a life for herself.  Price: $25.00 (AUD) Book Number: 43307  Bookseller: Dial a Book Postage Rates     Nine Faces of Kenya Huxley, Elspeth ISBN: 0002721732 Collins Harvill Press, London, 1991      8vo. softcover. 451pp. index. very good, crease to top front cover corner.  Price: $14.00 (AUD) Book Number: 43291  Bookseller: Dial a Book Postage Rates   1106 Africa Books         Go to page:    6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14   15   16   17   18   19   20        Next 30 Books
