Summary: I was there!
Comment: Several years ago I was lucky enuogh to spend a few weeks with Pieter Kat at his camp in Botswana. The experience was tremendous, and as I read his book, Prides, I could once again hear lions roaring in the evenings, see tiny cubs romping with tails and ears of adults, and remember many of the conflicts and struggles that threaten the survival of lion populations in Northern Botswana. The book is stunning. The photos are sensual and captivating; it is easy to spend hours paging through the pictures revisiting brilliant sunrises, herds of zebra, lionesses nuzzling. Harvey has done a commendable job capturing movements, dynamics and expressions, and as you page through, it is difficult to quiet the crunching of dry grasses underfoot and the yapping of jackels on the periphery. The text is similarly impressive. Conservation issues are identified and analyzed within a narrative that moves throughout the lion prides of Moremi Game Reserve and the nearby management areas. Kat increases the scope of research on lion biology in the Okavango Delta and frames scientific ideas around the story of his research. The book is a testament to maintaining biodiversity and wilderness areas and is a beautiful and insightful look at the lions of Moremi.
