This book offers an inspirational meander through a country of remarkable contrasts, a land of towering red dunes, a rugged and wild coast, and an extraordinarily diverse wildlife, many of which have specially adapted to the often harsh realities of life in a near-desert landscape. The stark beauty of Namibia, the magnificent splendour of its landscapes and the changing faces of its many people are captured here in vibrant colour and with enormous sensitivity. Thomas Dressler"s portrait of Namibia is a collection of exceptional images, which reflect the many pictures of desert, shore, and open African veld, and the animals and people who have made their home here in southern Africa - from the searing sands of the Namib Desert, through the green farmlands of the north to the austerity of the rugged Skeleton Coast.
