USA: Safari Press, 1999 A clean and tightly bound book. B/W photos.

USA: Safari Press., 1987 This book is without doubt the most remarkable true account ever written of adventure in Africa. It is the story of the life of George Rushby - a veritable prince of adventurers - ivory hunter, prospector, game ranger, and the man who faced and defeated the dread twenty-two man-eaters of the Njombe district of Tanganyika, described in the Guinness Book of Records as the worst marauding lions in the history of Africa. They killed well over one thousand human beings and were inextric ably linked with witchcraft and the hideous mystery of lycanthropy. The reader is transported into a world of tumultuous events, many of which baffle all rational thought. That grand old magazine, Wide World, in a celebrated series of articles entitled 'The Queer Side of Things', described in some detail the bizarre story of the lion men of the Singida District. Here for the first time is a full account of the mur derous witchcraft and lycanthropy of men claiming to change into wild animals,… Read More

South Africa: The Wildlife Protection Society of South Africa, 1961 From the author's Preface: SINCE my retirement on completion of forty-four years' service as a ranger in the Kruger National Park, a number of my friends have suggested that I ought to record in book form some of the experiences of a life which in many ways has been an unusual one, and to me at least full of interest. After considerable hesitation, I eventually yielded to persuasion, and the following pages are the result. They deal mainly with a world very different from that of today, for the changes which have taken place in Low-Veld life and conditions exceed those which have occurred anywhere else in South Africa. What, only forty years ago, was a wild, trackless, and almost unknown country, has now, thanks to the attraction of the Kruger National Park, become a popular resort for visitors not only from every part of South Africa, but from overseas as well. I felt, however, that my rather promiscuous notes required expert… Read More

Cape Town: Don Nelson, 1982 South Africa's wildlife and wilderness areas are perhaps unsurpassed anywhere in the world. These unspoilt spots which abound with animals, birds, flora and fauna, attract many thousands of visitors from all over the world. In preference to another book on animals, South African Wildlife and Wilderness, with text and superb photographs, shows wildlife in its natural habitat. Many of the pictures actually show no mammals at all, but birds and trees, rivers and flowers. These are the very things which epitomise the wilderness without :which there would be no wildlife. Gerald Cubitt and David Steele are two renowned and highly experienced wildlife photographers who have travelled thousands of miles, endured much hardship and exercised great patience to assemble the high quality photography which appears in this book.
