TRACKING THE MEMORY: TALES OF HUNTING. By Kevin Thomas.

2011 1st edition. Small 8vo paperback (143 x 204mm). Pp241. b/w photographs.

"Tracking the Memory is primarily a collection of informative and personal stories about the different experiences of hunting. It is also the culmination of a boyhood enterprise of exploration and discovery that began on a farm in the Chipinga area of British colonial Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) during the mid-1950s and continued along the banks of the majestic Sabi River and lives to this day 55 years on as a lifetime career and passion of the author. Kevin Thomas is first a professional hunter but thankfully he is also a writer, and as such we have this collection of first-hand accounts of what it is like to straddle both the romantic, adventurous side of hunting and the modern commercial aspect of an often controversial industry. Hunting is now a business but we must always remember it was once a way of life."
