Philip Briggs

Philip Briggs is one of the world’s most experienced and prolific guidebook writers. Associated with Bradt since 1991 when he wrote the first guide to South Africa published internationally after the release of Nelson Mandela, he spent the rest of the 1990s producing pioneering Bradt travel guides to destinations that were then – and in some cases still are – otherwise practically uncharted by the travel publishing industry. These included the first dedicated guidebooks to Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Ghana and Rwanda, all of which are still regularly updated for new editions. More recently, while still focusing on Africa by writing new guidebooks to Somaliland and The Gambia, he has written or updated Bradt guides to several destinations further afield, among them Suriname, Sri Lanka, Macedonia and Greece: The Peloponnese. He spends at least four months on the road every year, usually accompanied by his wife, the travel photographer Ariadne Van Zandbergen, and spends his rest of the time battering away at a keyboard in the sleepy South African coastal village of Wilderness.

Samenvatting

A stunning portrayal of Africa in its many and varied guises, this lavish book beautifully encapsulates this mysterious and untamed continent. The immense natural, cultural, and historical wealth of North, West, East and Southern Africa are celebrated in images that are illuminated by concise, informative text. Along with superb photography of characteristic wildlife and birds, their interactions with each other and their habitats, there are portraits of geographical landmarks and scenery, ethnic people and many noteworthy aspects of local cultures and ceremonies. Important and aesthetically interesting pre-colonial cultural and historical landmarks are given coverage. Africa: Continent of Contrasts is a visual feast offering insight into the workings of a magical continent.

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
