Faces of Africa: Thirty Years of Photography (Collectors (National Geographic)) (National Geographic Collectors)

Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher have spent 30 years and travelled more than 270,000 miles to create this collection. Each image unfolds new and revealing perspectives; taken together, they create nothing less than the group portrait of a world that draws strength from shared values and common experiences even as it glories in the unique appeal of every individual. Exploring the vital importance of family and community; the central role of ceremony at every stage of life; and, the deep-rooted attunement to the African landscape and its rhythms - all evoked in text and captions that enhance over 250 stunning photographs with anecdote, information and insight.
