Publisher's Note Photographers Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher have teamed up with well-known journalist Graham Hancock to offer this visually stunning and informative look at the diverse cultures of one of Africa's most fascinating regions. The Horn of Africa--which comprises all of Ethiopia, part of Kenya, the Sudan and Somalia, and the enclave of Djibouti--is home to four ancient cultures which have survived there side-by-side for thousands of years. More than 240 oversize colorplates and some 50 line drawings and nine maps take us from the coast to the Rift Valley, through deserts, over mountains and into swamps, into societies where story, legend, crafts, family life, and tribal ritual are little touched by modern civilization.
