Artist's Photo Reference.......2007-08-07
This book is great as regards to being a visual guide of beautiful pictures of wildlife which will help me with my future oil paintings.
Variety Missing -.......2005-10-01
When I need a reference book it is because I want to see the different angles, and a wide variety of types of animals and activity. This book ventured off too often into a lesson and show and tell for one piece of art. I think that is where the effectiveness is lost. If I want a "how to book" for an art project, I'll get a more descriptive and helpful book. If I want a reference guide to see angles, I am probably going to opt for a photographic books. I still was able to find some of what I needed, but was overall very disappointed in the content of the book and some of the subjects (whale tails and wet otters). I'm not sure I'd waste my money on another from this series.
There are better references.......2004-04-24
This photo reference is adequate, however, there are much better resources for the artist out there. For example, "Paradise on Earth" by Jim Thorsell puts this book to shame. It is not intended as a photo reference, and I came upon it by accident, but it is a far better reference. The photos are diverse and they are of superb quality. In addition, this is a coffee table sized book so the photos are of adequate size- often in the ARtist's photo reference series the photos are just too small to be of any practical use. Also, the photos just aren't that striking- they don't excite at all. Paradise on Earth will get you feeling creative guaranteed. The bottom line is that there are many books often at bargain prices that don't purport to be artist's photo references that do a better job than this book. I just wish I'd looked around before I purchased this book.
Artist's Photo Reference: Wildlife.......2003-06-07
This is a fantastic book. It's a must for any wildlife artist and it even makes a great coffee table book for anyone who likes wildlife. The book is just full of great photographs and the step by step paintings are very usefull.

Made me want to study these creatures!!!.......2004-06-04
This book takes three social carnivores many people hate--African wild dogs, jackals and spotted hyenas--and tells their stories. Such a book is especially needed in the present day, when African wild dogs are endangered and spotted hyenas near threatened. van Lawick-Goodall and van Lawick-Goodall are world-class animal behavior scientists, and yes, they are Jane Goodall, the famous chimpanzee researcher, and her husband Hugo van Lawick, the wildlife photographer who captured the chimps on film. As in their general-audience works on chimpanzees, the text is lucid, entertaining and informative. The photographs, although black and white, are excellent.
The authors skillfully present these animals as individuals, with fascinating individual temperaments, and I found myself caring about them as they engaged in the drama of their lives. I also learned a lot about these three species, and wished I could have learned even more. As van Lawick-Goodall and van Lawick-Goodall focused their research more on chimpanzees, this book represents relatively few years of research and does not contain the most up to date information about these animals. The authors are much more familiar with their chimpanzees, having spent more than thirty years with the apes in contrast to the two or three years of research this book represents. Correspondingly, Goodall and van Lawick's chimpanzee books are better. However, this book is still excellent. I particularly liked the hyena section, because the social system of hyenas is unique, complete with female dominance, and extremely complicated. And no, hyenas and jackals are not really scavengers, but kill most of what they eat themselves.
Although wolves and lions have received much publicity as social carnivores, the three species featured in this book are perhaps even more interesting. There is a dearth of popular books about them, and _Innocent Killers_ is probably the best on the market. It is disappointing this book has not become more popular, because it is a gripping tale with unique protagonists.
Hyenas, jackals and wild dogs - oh my!.......2003-01-29
Just so you know, Jane van Lawick-Goodall is more commonly known as Jane Goodall - yes, the one that works with chimpazees. Hugo van Lawick-Goodall was the photographer as well as her husband during the chimpazee studies.
This book manages to make 3 animals that most folks do not have a lot of love for and make them interesting reading. I don't particularly like hyenas and the description of how they eat their prey alive is unnerving but it is also fascinating. Hyenas (as well as jackals and wild dogs) kill their prey with a method known as rapid disembowelment. The prey dies very quickly as opposed to the methods lions (as well as cheetahs and leopards) use which is suffocation. Suffocation can take at least ten minutes if not longer to kill the prey. I won't presume to know which is the most painful way, but rapid disembowelment would seem more efficent from the predator's point of view.
They spend over two years studying spotted hyenas, golden jackals and wild dogs. The information about the social structure the animals participate in as well as their hunting methods are described in great detail. You don't have to be a zoologist or have specialized training to appreciate this book, but I think being an animal lover would be a great help.
One of the more interesting parts to me was when M's van Lawick-Goodall talks about taking her baby son along on this expedition. She details how she tried to make it as safe as possible for Grublin and how he grew up with the animals.
The black and white photographs are excellent. The bat eared foxes are quite photogenic, as well as the cheetah cubs at play.The pictures of the books subjects are equally good.
M's van Lawick-Goodall does an excellent great job giving the reader a different viewpoint of these much maligned animals. Read the book and learn all about these "innocent killers".

An example of antischolarship.......2007-04-23
I came to this book as a teacher of the history of ancient philosophy, and the consideration of whether this book would offer anything that would warrant a change in the curriculum I teach. I'm sorry to say that the answer is "no."
First, a remark on the word "philosophy." The word is of Greek derivation, and was used initially to refer to a tradition of thought that began within Greek civilization. This tradition was defined by no central doctrinal beliefs, but by a method of approach to establish belief. The features of the method were as follows: (1) the central aim was to seek "wisdom" or understanding, (2) a view that traditional beliefs were largely irrelevant to this search-philosophy was a tradition that rejected the authority of tradition, and thus (3) the consequent encouragement of originality of thought, and a critical outlook on the ideas of earlier thinkers within the tradition, and (4) an insistence that any beliefs recommended for adoption should be offered with reasons, evidence, argument that could at least potentially convince any reasonable person that the belief should be adopted. It is this tradition, in antiquity traced back to the Greek philosopher Thales, that has continued through the centuries of western culture, giving rise eventually in the modern world to natural science as well as philosophy as an ongoing concern.
In the twentieth century particularly, scholars have recognized that many other cultures have traditions of thought that share many of the features of "philosophy" as described above, and might thus in a broad sense legitimately be called by the same name. Thus there has flourished a lively scholarship over many decades in Chinese philosophy, Indian philosophy, Native American philosophy, etc. Courses are taught in these areas on most university campuses today. I must admit that to my knowledge there is less such studies dedicated in this vein to "African philosophy," and hope that more becomes available.
Onyewuenyi's project, however, is not one of this sort at all. His project is to place African, and in particular Egyptian thought, firmly into the philosophical tradition in the narrower sense described above. His central thesis is that the original Greek philosophers of that tradition were teaching Egyptian philosophy; that before Thales we must recognize Egyptian thought, and that there is a virtual identity, with some Greek flourishes, of Greek philosophy with Egyptian thought.
Does he succeed? Not at all. In fact the book might be better understood as a demonstration to the denial of it's thesis than a confirmation.
One central problem is methodological. Onyewuenyi argues on the basis of a certain principle, clearly used time and again though he never states it. The principle could be stated, however, in this way: "Proof of intellectual influence is proof of identity of belief." One place this principle is utilized is when Onyewuenyi notes how legitimate scholars have recognized how the pre-Socratic philosophers influenced the Socratics (Socrates, Plato, Aristotle) (225-233). After noting these influences, Onyewuenyi offers the bold statement "These philosophers [the Socratics] . . . are the pre-Socratics" (233). Why Onyewuenyi adopts this principle is clear. The Egyptian material that he offers for his argument is on the face of it so discordant with pre-Socratic philosophy that there is little chance of convincing the reader that the Greek philosophers were simply repeating what the Egyptian's had already said. It is a lesser task, however, to show intellectual influence. So if one might convince the reader of influence, then by invoking the principle that influence proves identity one gets Onyewuenyi's thesis, repeatedly stated, that the Greek philosophers were simply teaching Egyptian philosophy, as a fait accompli. But the problem, of course, is the principle is absurd on the face of it. By this principle we would have to infer that Newton's physics is simply Copernicus's astronomy; that Darwin's theory of natural selection is simply a reiteration of Malthus, etc. Enough said.
What of the evidence of influence? I would have to make the judgment that any unbiased person who was not predisposed to accept Onyewuenyi's thesis at the outset could not be in the least convinced. What we are given on the Egyptian side is a genre of thought familiar to any student of culture: creation myths. Myths of the creation of the world couched in anthropomorphic themes (the gods which begat other gods that finally begat the world) that are entirely out of character with Greek philosophy. There is indeed an analogue in Greek tradition to this material-the traditional gods of the Greek pantheon, and the creation myth recorded by Hesiod which records gods begetting gods, which finally explain the world and humankind. But the point must be stressed: this is precisely the sort of tradition-bound, conservative, and religious thought that the Greek tradition of philosophy rejected. To be precise, this genre does not share the features (2)-(4) that define the Greek philosophical tradition.
The best that Onyewuenyi can do with the material is to cite isolated words and here and there what sounds to be a homological concept between the two traditions. For example, Thales speaks of water, as do the Egyptian myths. What Onyewuenyi carefully avoids is the fact that for Thales water is the constituent of all things. For the Egyptian myths, however, water is the primordial source of all things. The difference is in fact a chasm: an attempt to understand the basic constitution of physical reality as opposed to a speculation as to the origination of all reality. The projects are entirely different. All they have in common is a word, "water" in their respective languages.
A further problem is the numerous factual errors in the study. I'll allow the knowledgeable reader to trace these.
Hilarious! Two-Thumbs-Up!.......2006-11-28
This is a very amusing example of twisting facts to suit theories rather than theories to suit facts.
If it so suited him, the author would just as soon have us believe that the man who invented the first bow and arrow is to be credited for invention of the sub-machine gun; that Newton's discovery of physics and the calculus is to be credited to his ignorant schoolmasters; or that Mozart's inspiration is to be credited to the first bone flute.
Sadly, Africa is an enormous continent that differs region by region even more so than the small countries of Europe and it is most pathetic that so-called historians and scholars will dare to even go as far as to rob credit from the Egyptian Civilization, much less from the Greeks from the Egyptians. The fact of the matter is that to today's African-American for whom this book is meant to have appeal there is little if no lineage or heritage from the ancient North-African cultures to be shared either culturally or gentically- at least, not anymore than the Russians share with the Chinese (sorry, living on the same continent just doesn't cut it).
This book greatly depends on your mindset before reading it. Indeed, in a world with an infinite supply of facts it is easy to choose a number of them to suit your theories. The believer who is looking for a near mystical meaning to their existence will enjoy this book; the ignorant and somewhat dim will gasp in awe and the intelligent and open minded will experience everything from hysterical laughter to insult ('insult' and 'ha-ha, I know something you don't know' being an obvious objective of the book).
Unfortunately, as entertaining and comforting as this book may be, it is grossly overpriced so I cannot recommend it to anyone. However, it would be an excellent title to be made available free, either by download or in a box of Cheerios.
The 'Aryan-Greek Myth' Exposed.......2006-10-28
"All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of one candle" - A Saying
The concepts of `Greek Philosophy' and of `Greek Civilization', as propounded by `Western' ideologues, are both myth and fabrication. In the `Western' world Colleges and universities, especially, have established entire departments, chairs, and literary societies around these notions; not to mention the thousands upon thousands of volumes written and published to support such beliefs. Yet in spite of the millions of pages written in favor, as though it were a fact, one book, of 320 pages, gives us facts to the contrary.
The African Origin of Greek Philosophy: An Exercise in Afrocentrism provides a comprehensive examination of the subject by showing the elements claimed to constitute `Greek Philosophy' to have existed thousands of years before the City-State of Greece existed much less to have had citizens to extol a philosophy. The introduction is well worth the read in explaining the need to focus on the subject as a response to the racism perpetrated by European and Americans (Whites) against African people in an attempt to appropriate civilization as a creation of the White race. The value of this work is both attested to by Black and White students who recognize the need for the truth. Additionally the author treats the subject in its proper context by stating the "African Origin of Greek Philosophy" by making the point that if the Egyptians, from whom the Greeks learned, are Africans than it is appropriate to treat the subject in its broader context.
Onyewuenyi methodically deconstructs the subject examining each of its constituent parts to show that Egyptian (Kemet) philosophy existed thousands of years (4000 BCE) before Greece; that each specific subject area supposedly addressed by a Greek philosopher had already been address thousands of years before Greece existed; that the so-called Greek philosophers were students of Egypt in its waning years (500 BCE - 50 BCE; and that they (the Greeks) acknowledged Egypt as the source of their information.
Onyewuenyi demonstrates the concept of `Greek Philosophy' to be the work primarily of latter-day racist ideologues espousing notions of `White Supremacy'. He says: "The point here is that Western historians , Egyptologist, anthropologist, and philosophers, each from his own domain or specialty, have a tacit unwritten agreement, influenced by their political and racial biases to exclude Africa from participation in and contribution to world development." (Pp. 121-122)
Chapter three examines the writings of eight Europeans and Americans, 18th through 20th century writers, on the subject of philosophy to expose their racism and contrived efforts suggesting Egypt (Africa) had no philosophy, much less an impact on the Greeks. Each writer, beginning with Hegel, goes about denying history and substituting in its place racist ideology to support the concept and commitment of white superiority over Africans. It becomes obvious that, to make their arguments, Hegel and his cohorts all side-step intelligence, history, logic, reason, facts, evidence, truth, and honesty, and in its place supplant fabrication and myth. Says Onyewuenyi: "Faced with undeniable facts and records, some Western historians admit that Thales, Pythagoras, Plato and several others visited and studied in Egypt, but racism and national pride blind them so that they deny the obvious, namely, that the Greeks learned philosophy along with geometry and other sciences from the Egyptians. This chapter will present evidence of the denial or suppression of the Egyptian origin of Greek philosophy and civilizations by historians of philosophy from Hegel in 1770 to McInerny in 1963."
`Chapters two and four-through-six present the Egyptian philosophy - including its cosmology and pantheon (the source of ideas for creation and existence) - and Egyptian science, followed by an examination of each Greek (and Ionian) philosopher - including the time period and place they lived and the concepts attributed to each. In so doing the author resoundingly disproves the claims made by the Greeks and the latter-day racist of such a thing as `Greek Philosophy' and `Greek Civilization'.
One criticism I have is that the author cites the biblical story of Moses in Egypt as though it were the truth when history has shown it to be fiction. This takes a bit away from the scholarship and calls into question the authors ability to be completely objective when it comes to his religion; for just as `Greek Philosophy' has African Origins we know factually Judaism, Christianity and Islam each have African religion and civilization as its origins. (see: African Origins of the Major Western Religions - Yosef ben-Jochannan)
This book, The African Origin of Greek Philosophy, complements other books addressing the same subject: Stolen Legacy (1954) - George G.M. James; Africa: Mother of Western Civilization (1971) - Yosef ben-Jochannan; The African Origin of Civilization (1956) - Cheikh Anta Diop; Black Athena - Martin Bernal; Ancient Egypt Light of the World (1907) - Gerald Massey.
Yet, because racism is unyielding and racist ideologues are psychopathic, rather than be embarrassed and ashamed of such a great fraud Europeans and Americans continue to perpetuate the lie and the myth. Never-the-less for anyone who prefers truth rather than fabrication The African Origin of Greek Philosophy: An Exercise in Afrocentrism by Innocent.C. Onyewuenyi is must have book.

Shifting perceptions.......2006-02-27
The very title of this book is incongruous with the knowledge planted in my head by my culture and education. I was taught throughout my schooling that Greece was the birthplace of western civilization and that the stellar Greek thinkers -Socrates, Plato and Aristotle-were the founding fathers of philosophy. As I grew up and questioned many other ingrained cultural assumptions, it never occurred to me to probe this foundational one -the notion was too firmly rooted. After reading this book, I share some of author Father Onyewuenyi's righteous indignation that "...Western powers have deprived the African continent of its position as the mother of world civilization."
Father Onyewuenyi himself did not learn of Africa's central role in birthing world civilization as he grew up in Nigeria; neither did he learn of it as he studied philosophy in graduate school in the US, nor as he wrote his dissertation on Hegel. It wasn't until after he had graduated with a PhD from Duquesne University (PA) that he was made aware of the existence of an African philosophical system that deeply informed the thinking of the Greeks. As he recounts,
"I felt I had been miseducated, able to write a doctoral dissertation on the European philosopher Hegel when I was completely ignorant of my own cultural philosophy."
We have all been "miseducated," which is why it's important to read this book. This is a scholarly work. It builds a well-substantiated case for the extensive influence of ancient Egyptian philosophy and educational practice on the pre-Socratics of Ionia, as well as Socrates, Plato and Aristotle in ancient Greece. I'm not well-informed enough about philosophy to split hairs with Fr. Onyewuenyi's finely reasoned argument. I just know that it resonates with what I recognize as my own cultural bias. When Fr. Onyewuenyi dispels the myth that the Egyptians were somehow 'Africa lite' -not really part of the great, dark continent-I realized how firmly implanted that myth was in my own mind. When he documents the lengthy visits to Egypt of the major players in Greek philosophy, I wondered how I could have so denied the obvious: that the Greeks did not invent modern philosophy out of thin air; that the Greeks were studying Egyptian knowledge; and that the knowledge was so complex, it took years to absorb. My education did inform me of many astounding contributions to the progression of civilization made by the ancient Egyptians. However, the emphasis was on art and architecture -the murals and the monuments; it was all somehow severed from intellect, held apart from the realm of the cerebral, for which Greece and its Caucasian population were given almost total credit.
I hope that this treatise is read and debated by scholars of philosophy. I believe in the scientific method, in examining an idea from all angles, challenging, refining or even possibly disproving it. The important thing is acknowledging the idea, getting it out from under the rug and into the daylight. Fr. Onyewuenyi's "exercise in Afrocentrism" does just that. It reoriented my view of African history as a whole and drove wedges in some of my deepest cultural assumptions; that's a good thing. I am glad to have been introduced to The African Origin of Greek Philosophy. I would recommend it to anyone who wishes for a more inclusive picture of our global cultural development.

One of the funniest books I've read........1997-05-08
I am an anthropology buff, not an anthropologist. But I am a scientist, and this book marvelously pokes fun at how scientists become introduced to field work and the ramification of their naivete. Of course, doing field work in another culture and in the third world only enhances the comedy of it all. Wonderfully easy and quick to read, the book leaves one wishing for more
Very good travel humor........1996-12-19
Barley writes about his experiences studying hill people
near Poli, Cameroon - mainly about the local culture and
the misfortunes that befell him. I have been through some
of the same places and the stories may be a bit exaggerated,
but all seem plausible. Quite funny, in a gentle way

Book Description
"[Afrika's] work is consistently clear, unembroidered, often very moving and has won him South Africa's top literary prizes… [The Innocents is] a novel of great depth and sincerity with its â€~thriller' element tempered by a sober summation of exactly what taking up arms to achieve a political purpose demands"-Cape Times
"Revolt, conviction and crisis are drawn into finely crafted contention…a story about the hopes and frailty of our time… that's at once provocative and readable."-Femina
Inspired by the author's years as an activist in Apartheid-era Cape Town, The Innocents is a gripping account of how in the myriad battles of our recent past, an even greater number of private wars were lost or won.
Yusuf and three of his friends attempt to prove themselves worthy of the People's Army by committing acts of sabotage against Cape Town's wealthy. Thandi, the bewitching niece of the People's Army leader, accompanies them as an accomplice, but also to report back on their achievements. As Yusuf struggles to reconcile his strong religious beliefs that condemn the murder of innocents and his group's increasingly extreme political strategies, they are all drawn into a vortex of fear, heroism, disaster, and betrayal that reveals the greatest tragedies of lost innocence.
Tatamkhulu Afrika (1920-2004) was born in Egypt and raised by South African foster parents. Until his death drew a pension from the combatant arm of the African National Congress. During his lifetime, he published eight collections of poetry, two novels and four novellas, and won every South African prize and award for which his work was eligible.

A Vivid Portrait of South Africa, A Tender Boyhood Story.......2003-04-15
Brilliantly, achingly rendered, a wonderful read. Spend some time with the Pifer family in South Africa in the 1930's and '40s. You'll come away with a love of these people and a deep affectionate knowledge of this vast and challenging country.
Charming account of a childhood in Africa.......2000-08-14
Inside all of us there is a compelling need to read something of our own history, something that is quaint and undiscovered. And it is here that the attraction of Innocents in Africa lies. It is a beautifully written book, about Drury Pifer's childhood growing up in Africa - the unique insight of an American family, unfettered by the conventions of British, German and Afrikaner society, trying to make their way in the world. The reader is easily transported back to Southern Africa of the 1930s and 40s, to Nigel, a dreary mining town near Johannesburg, and to the windswept desert beaches of South West Africa. It is a story of childhood memories, charmingly told, lyric sentences bringing alive a place whose history needs to be delved. But more than that, it also manages to pose the important questions of the day, in a delightfully apolitical but nevertheless pertinent manner. Most of all however, I will treasure this book because of what it records - an account of unchanging small-town life somewhere in Africa, where previously I only had my parents' oral anecdotes of their own childhood to rely on. When Pifer describes `Time in Oranjemund' as bearing `no relationship to whatever time has since become. A day then lasted a year, or a lifetime'...even I can relate. It is nostalgic. It is the poignant tale of a family's quest for a living in the mining towns of Southern Africa, based on their blind American optimism that ability will bring promotion. In Africa, the Pifer family would ultimately only find disappointment, and yet the author notes, `these would be our family's happiest few years, but how could we know that?'
I discovered the book accidentally, read it, and was delighted. I am now recommending it to everyone.
