Thomas Lovejoy called this book essential reading. It's a no-holds-barred attack on old-style conservation in Africa provocative, fascinating and dead-on. The authors, associated with the World Wildlife Fund, explode the romantic fallacy of an untouched continent where animals roam freely in sanctuaries. The relationship of wildlife -- and the people who share the continent with them -- is central to the future of conservation.  (AFR15, $22.95)
