For those attracted to full-page spreads of howling wolves, playful pups, and packs in fang-bared snarl, Sawtooth Wolves provides a visual spectacular. It's a spin-off from photographer Dutcher's nature film, Wolf, which he claims 200 million people have seen. Dutcher and his crew, along with text writer and project director Ballantine, observed and filmed the behavior of a pack that Dutcher raised in a 25-acre enclosure in Idaho over a six-year period. Habituated to his crew's presence, the wolves tolerated close human approach, resulting in unusually dynamic photography, especially evident in the illustrations of pack hierarchy. An entrancing entree to the world of the wolf

Fasziniert von den europäischen Entdeckern des 19. Jahrhunderts, lotet der Brite Richard Grant seinen eigenen weißen Fleck auf der Landkarte Ostafrikas aus: den kaum kartografierten Malagarasifluss in Tansania. Während er sein Ziel, die Gesamtbefahrung bis zur Quellregion am Tanganjikasee, nie aus den Augen verliert, gerät der Weg dorthin zu einer wahren Tour de Force. Grant erkundet das Nachtleben Sansibars, liefert sich ein Wortgefecht mit dem Exdiktator und Präsidenten Ruandas Paul Kagame und zieht in Burundi mit kongolesischen Dandys und Hutu-Gangstern um die Häuser. Eine enorm temporeiche Reportage, die Ostafrika in seiner ganzen Widersprüchlichkeit zeigt.
