In early 1882 he embarked on an eleven-year expedition to record species that, to his great sadness, were becoming endangered. First published in 1893, these revealing memoirs document the wildlife, landscapes and people that characterised his journey. Through vivid descriptions and extensive illustrations, he recalls exhilarating adventures with lions, leopards, hyenas and crocodiles, recounts challenging treks across lakes and mountains, and describes hostile - and at times barbaric - encounters with native peoples. Detailed accounts of hunting endeavours, colonial institutions, and commercial enterprises such as gold mining, also feature in this study, which provides a unique and diverse perspective on Africa in the late nineteenth century. Insightful and revealing, Selous' experiences remain of enduring interest to geographers, anthropologists, zoologists, and all those interested in African history and culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frederick Courteney Selous\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108031161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108031165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 532\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.19d","brand":"Frederick Courteney Selous","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43924086685951,"sku":"9781108031165","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f4a33b42-451a-4bd3-8060-b6aede235eca.jpg?v=1681068395","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/travel-and-adventure-in-south-east-frederick-courteney-selous-9781108031165","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
