Photographed in full color. Unearth the fascinating kingdoms and peoples of pre-colonia Africa--from the spectacular empire of Mali and its fabled city Timbuktu to the ile-long caravans of Ghanian gold traders who trekked across the Sahara desert.

This book is a book that covers history, culture and facts of Africa. It is full of pictures and tidbits of information about the culture, land, history, religion and traditions of the African culture. It is eye appetizing while providing interesting knowledge about Africa. Eyewitness does an excellent job with the colorful detailed photos and diagrams. The book is a 4 out of 5 due to it’s lack of scientific information.

Photo essay of Africa. Just an overview since it would be impossible to do a complete study of this vast continent in one slender book.
