Description
When African Genesis was published, Harvard University's Dr Harlow Shapley wrote: "It is the fate and fortune of some books to mark or make a turning point in science and culture. This I believe African Genesis will do." Like its predecessor, The Territorial Imperative is a work of wit, of literary wealth, of high adventure. Again, the author draws on his inexhaustible knowledge of animal ways, and again his wife presents her brilliant sketches of animal life. But this time Mr. Ardrey takes show more his readers on far deeper excursions into the ancient animal world, and on far deeper penetrations of the contemporary human wilderness. show lessTags
