(1990) later reprint. Large 8vo (172 x 253mm). Ppx,313. Colour photograph plates, b/w maps, bibliography. Map end-papers. Blue boards, spine titled in white.

This is a detailed survey of the Zambezi, its people, history, geography, as well as its natural history, aquatic and terrestrial. Rather journalistic in style, this book is nevertheless packed with solid information and twenty pages of references at the end. Well worth a read.
