The Beauty Of The Maasai Mara

Paul Goldstein et Kyriakos Kaziras, deux grands photographes animaliers professionnels, vous présentent dans cet ouvrage le résultat de nombreuses années de passion photographiques pour le Masai Mara Le Masai Mara est la réserve naturelle la plus prolifique du monde. Elle est située au sud-ouest du Kenya et elle est contiguë au Serengeti situé en Tanzanie. Chaque année, deux millions d'animaux supplémentaires remplissent les plaines fertiles du Masai Mara, poursuivis implacablement par des prédateurs. Kyriakos et Paul explorent ensemble ou séparément depuis plus de 15 ans les plaines du Masai Mara pour en capter la beauté, l'essence des paysages et la férocité animale quotidienne. Riche de magnifiques vallées, de larges prairies et d'une qualité de lumière unique au monde, le Masai Mara est tantôt dramatique, tantôt spectaculaire, mais toujours passionnant. Et si une majorité de programmes télévisuels de faune et flore sont filmés de ces plaines riches ou l'émotion entre en jeu à chaque instant, ce n'est pas par hasard. Au travers de 250 photos de grande qualité, exprimant le résultat de leur passion du Masai Mara, ils vous présentent la magie de ces lieux ; des paysages exceptionnels aux lumières d'une rare beauté et bien sûr aux habitants humains ou animaux qui font de cet endroit un lieu d'éternité.

A travel memoir through thirty countries, a thousand insulin injections, and one man’s journey from despair to confidence. With tips and information from the American Diabetes Association. In the middle of a yearlong backpacking trip around the world with his wife, Oren Liebermann is teaching English to young Buddhist monks in Pokhara, Nepal, when his body begins to fail him. He is constantly thirsty and exhausted, and by the time he steps on a scale, he has lost forty-five pounds. At a local clinic, a doctor gives him a diagnosis that will change his life forever: “I’m sorry to tell you, my friend, that you are a diabetic.” Devastated, Liebermann is trapped in a freezing hospital room, trying to recover enough to fly home. His friends and family urge him to call off the rest of his trip. He had quit his job as a TV news reporter for this dream-come-true journey, but the nightmare diagnosis has thrown his world into disarray. However, Liebermann and his wife, Cassie, make a decision. They have an adventure to finish, and he has the rest of his life to live. Bold, raw, and poignantly candid, The Insulin Express tells the story of what happens when the best-made travel plans are subject to the ever-present chaos of life, and how a major setback can turn into the opportunity of a lifetime. Despite struggling with a chronic disease that almost kills him in the Himalayas, Liebermann hikes along the Great Wall of China, conquers the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, and sips cobra whiskey in Laos. What begins as a travel chronicle across thirty countries transforms into a single journey of resilience and self-discovery—going from hopelessly lost and then wonderfully found.
