What a gorgeous book! It is a coffee table style book that I read and absorbed front cover to last page. The writing style is informative and nuanced without being bland or cookie cutter. The photos are gorgeous and seem to capture a soulfulness. (I notice the first publishing of this book is 1992 so understand why it does not delve more deeply into what has more recently been deemed a genocide of two tribes that make up a portion of modern day Namibians by the Germans in the early 1900s.) Excited to visit this country in person now.
