Serengeti: The Eternal Beginning

Serengeti: The Eternal Beginning is a photo essay documenting the fragile beauty of the vast Serengeti, a World Heritage Site which is now endangered due to climate change. Author and photographer Boyd Norton has been visiting the Serengeti since he was a schoolboy in the late 1940's, and this 250-page book conveys his intimacy with and passion for this area. This book is not for the casual reader looking for an easy read that describes what to do and what to see on safari. Norton conveys an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the Serengeti, its history, and its wildlife — and a prophetic passion for the ecological preservation of this irreplaceable wilderness.

One of the world's 40 most influential nature photographers (see a gallery of some of his favorites here), Brad Norton uses his own images to illustrate this book. There must be hundreds of full-color photographs, some covering an entire 9" x 20" two-page spread. The book is also an invitation to join Serengeti Watch and to stop the Serengeti Highway, a proposed commercial highway across the park that would cut off migration routes.
