Don't let the cute small format of this book downplay the magnitude of photographs inside... The authors' (son & dad team) seem to make half the world fit inside an image.

Who knew Namibia had the world's largest meteorite? From the stunning coastline shots, to the painter's-mixing-palette-of-colors rock and plant landscapes, to the myriad kinds of dunes and river beds sculpted by the elements and time, to the people who've adapted early German settlers' traditions, and others who live by hunting and wear a few modest pieces of animal skin...

For me this was a super-enjoyable exploration of an African treasure I knew next to nothing about. Great lyrical details written to accompany the pix.
