Namibia : the forbidden zone
Rare Books
"Namibia, on the south-west coast of Africa, is sandwiched between two vast deserts. It is a land of amazing beauty and, quite literally, hidden gems, being one of the world's primary sources of diamonds. The sand dunes, shaped by the winds, are colored by the prevailing light. Richard Ehrlich has captured not only the breathtaking landscape but also the insides of homes occupied now only by piles of drifting sand. The colors, shapes, patterns, and small signs of former inhabitants are meticulously and beautifully recorded in this gorgeous new book"--Publisher's description.
