STUNNING FULL COLOR PHOTOGRAPHS

Acclaimed nature photographer Jim Brandenburg has focused his camera eye on Namibia, its landscape, people, and animals.Bordered by Angola, Zimbabwe and the Atlantic Ocean, Namibia is a mysterious land of searing sand and cool waters.It is best described by contrasts, but better seen through the marvelous full-color photographs in this striking volume.

Although "Namib" means "Place of no people," the country holds several ethnic groups.Brandenburg shows a colorfully clad Herero woman gracefully carrying an ancient sewing machine on her head, a Himba woman wearing a mixture of fat and ocher, and Kung men during an all-night dance as they create their own music with singing and drums.

Crystal rock formations edging a desert etched by softly shifting dunes is a scene of breathtaking beauty, as are the coastal rock formations.

The armchair traveler will thoroughly enjoy visiting southern Africa with Sand and Fog.
