For over five generations, National Geographic magazine has dazzled
and educated people with its incredible photographs and gripping
stories from all corners of the earth. Inspired by our monumental
Around the World in 125 Years, this volume curates around 200
captivating images sourced directly from the National Geographic
historical archives, including 40 new photographs, that traverse
the landscapes, history, cultures, and wildlife of Africa. Our
continental journey through amazing Africa ranges from evocative
early black-and-white pictures to autochromes, from the golden age
of Kodachromes to digital. Along the way, we fly over the misty
volcanoes of Uganda in a 1950s plane; follow archaeologists into
the cool, musky tombs of Egypt; gaze up at the gleaming skyscrapers
of Zimbabwe; admire the ritual masks of the Chokwe tribesmen of
Angola; get lost in a labyrinth of alleys and souks in Algeria's
old quarters; wonder at the fragile red-tufted flowers of South
Africa's Drakensberg mountains; trudge behind Kenyan farmers as
they battle clouds of flying locusts; and gingerly spy mountain
gorillas enjoying the Rwandan sunshine. Long before the Travel
Channel and Google Images, these images celebrated Africa's
spectacular landscapes, incredible wildlife, and diversity-but also
reflect edgier stories that speak of rural hardship, environmental
threats, and the lasting remnants of forced colonization. Leaving
no stone unturned, this definitive voyage is in equal parts a
breathtaking homage to an incomparable continent, and a unique
tribute to the world's most famous photography magazine.
