Between the Sunlight and the Thunder: The Wild Life of Kenya by Simon, Noel - 1963

London: Collins, 1963. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Second Printing. Blue cloth with gilt lettering to the spine. Very mild wear. The dust jacket has wear to the extremities, more so at the spine ends, and is protected in a Mylar sleeve now. A printer's error with the dust jacket reversed the front and rea panels so that the title and author are printed on the rear panel. The front contains only a photo. The writing on the flaps appears in correct order. From the jacket: "This book is an account of the reasons for the decline in wild life populations and gives an indication of what remains of Kenya's once prolific fauna, as well as suggesting means by which the remnants of the great herds can be retained for the benefit and enjoyment of future generations." 384 pages with Tables, Appendices, Glossary, Bibliography, and Index. Illustrated with maps and black and white photos. The author served as Deputy Director of the Royal National Parks in Kenya after World War II and in 1955 founded the Kenya Wild Life Society, where he remained Chairman until 1962. He was a pioneering force in wildlife conservation in East Africa..
