Kenya&#8217;s population was roughly five million, with about 100 tribes scattered throughout the endless &#8216;wild\u2014deer\u2014ness&#8217; &#8211; it was authentic, unspoiled, teeming with big game &#8211; so enormous it appeared inexhaustible. Everyone agreed it was too big to be destroyed. Now Kenya&#8217;s population of over 30 million drains the country&#8217;s limited and diminishing resources at an amazing rate: surrounding, isolating, and relentlessly pressuring the last pockets of wildlife in denatured Africa.&#8221; <span class=\"attrib\">\u2014Peter Beard<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Description:<\/strong> Hard bound with Brown &#8216;leatherette&#8217; covered boards and tipped-in plate on the front board, no dust jacket as issued.
