To compile this stunning visual portrait of wildlife on six
continents, Gerald Hoberman traveled thousands of miles to some of
the remotest wilderness regions on earth. He crossed the vast
African plains to record the wonder of its bounteous and diverse
wildlife. He has come face to face with the mighty tiger, looked
into the eyes of polar bears, and taken a rare glimpse at the
extraordinary animals that inhabit South America's rain forests.
This collection of breathtaking photographs - the best of Gerald
Hoberman's work over two decades - is accompanied by personal
accounts of his experiences in the wild.
This title features 72 of South Africa’s finest exclusive safari
lodges with their eclectic mix of fabulous interiors and the
abundance of wildlife that surrounds them. In this epic volume,
Gerald Hoberman reveals the distinctive attributes of each
exclusive safari lodge, making it an ideal book for armchair
travellers and those planning a safari holiday where the things
that count are comfort, luxury, fabulous food, exceptional service,
and excellent game- viewing opportunities. The entertaining and
informative text on each lodge by well-known travel writer Carrie
Hampton provides a perfect accompaniment to Hoberman’s photography
and descriptive observations of his encounters in the wild.
Created in honour of the innocent victims of the deadly September
11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the US, Gerald and Marc Hoberman
offer this moving tribute to the city of New York and its
courageous citizens. Featuring images taken in the months prior to
the attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center buildings, this
booklet highlights the city of New York, as well as the twin towers
that stood as a symbol, not just of New York, but also of the
promise and prosperity of the US. This commemorative booklet
includes seven new images not found in the hardcover edition of New
York, each one featuring the World Trade Center buildings, giving
readers the opportunity to share in remembering the tragic events
of their destruction. A donation is made to disaster relief for
each book purchased.
South Africa is a place of wonder, intrigue and glorious color. In
search of the soul of a newly awakening land, Gerald Hoberman has
photographed an ancient sacrifical ceremony of the Xhosa, captured
the lifestyle of Bushmen living close to the land, and shared
mampoer, a homemade brew, with farmers in the Groot Marica
district. With South Africa, Gerald Hoberman has captured a
beautiful country and its people in a time of excitement and
transformation, while retaining an eye for that which does not
change; old places and ancient customs upon which time seems to
have no grasp. This splendid volume is a must for all those with an
interest in this remarkable country on the southern tip of Africa.
This volume features text and illustrations from the gift book
London published by the Gerald and Marc Hoberman Collection.
In a unique cultural statement, Kaapse Klopse features the
colourful and lively Cape Town Minstrel Carnival, held for the
first three days of the New Year. The music and dance style of the
'Kaapse Klopse' (Cape Minstrels) was influenced by the North
American minstrel troupes that visited the Cape in the late 1880s.
Traditionally, the colourful and lively minstrels cavort through
the city, singing and dancing to the sound of banjos, tubas,
guitars, ghoema drums and whistles. The book features extraordinary
contemporary photographs of this event by Gerald Hoberman, with an
historical overview as well as unique photographs of District Six
and Bo-Kaap, taken by him in 1969. The entertaining and insightful
traditional minstrel songs are published with English translations
for the first time - a valuable contribution to the cultural
history of the Cape.

Greig, one of Africa’s finest wildlife sculptors, and Gerald
Hoberman, internationally renowned wildlife photographer, writer,
and designer. The juxtaposition of Greig's sculptures and

The essence of some twenty- five years of patience, passion, and
the pursuit of excellence, Wildlife of Africa reflects Gerald
Hoberman's quest to share his love of the wild with others and, by
so doing, help to promote and preserve this important heritage for
future generations.
