Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'In Brightest Africa' is a seminal account of the African wilderness, written by the legendary naturalist, taxidermist, and explorer Carl E. Akeley. Known as the father of modern taxidermy, Akeley takes readers on a series of expeditions through the untamed landscapes of the African continent, documenting his encounters with majestic wildlife, including lions, elephants, and the elusive mountain gorilla. Part adventure memoir and part scientific record, the work offers a vivid portrayal of the continent's biodiversity during the early 20th century.Through his narratives, Akeley details his pioneering efforts to preserve the beauty of nature for future generations. He shares his experiences collecting specimens for major natural history museums and describes his innovative techniques for creating lifelike habitat dioramas. More than just a collection of hunting stories, 'In Brightest Africa' reflects a deep-seated respect for the natural world and chronicles Akeley's transition from hunter to passionate conservationist. His advocacy for the protection of wildlife led to the establishment of Africa's first national park, making this book a foundational text for anyone interested in the history of wildlife preservation, scientific exploration, and the enduring allure of the African wild.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Withdrawn from an institutional library with discreet ink stamps at beginning and end; small circular labels to spine. Also with the bookplate of Marguerite Doe [Ravenscroft] (1890-1972), the Californian philanthropist and animal-welfare campaigner. First UK edition (first published by Doubleday, Page & Co., New York, 1923). A classic account of African travel, big-game collecting and natural history by Carl Ethan Akeley (1864-1926), the influential American taxidermist, sculptor, naturalist and museum collector. Based on his expeditions in East and Central Africa, the work combines vivid descriptions of encounters with elephants, gorillas and other large mammals with observations on African wildlife, field collecting and the preparation of specimens.Akeley transformed modern museum taxidermy, developing techniques that allowed animals to be displayed with unprecedented anatomical accuracy and realism, and was largely responsible for the conception of the great African habitat groups at the American Museum of Natural History. His later work with mountain gorillas also contributed to growing concern for their protection and to the establishment of what became Virunga National Park. In Brightest Africa is therefore of interest not only as an African sporting and exploration narrative, but also as an important document in the history of natural history museums, taxidermy and early wildlife conservation.…
