The Rift - Scar of Africa
I would like to add that in my earlier review I omitted the word "not" when I referred to so many other coffee table books having text that does not really inform. I meant to highlight the difference between this book and those. The Rift - Scar of Africa is not only a visual feast, it is extremely interesting to read, too.
