Loveliest of the great wild cats, the cheetah is poetry in motion, a blurred streak of graceful ferocity and a sauntering portrait of fluid beauty. They threaten no man and kill only for food. But the world's fastest animal is under threat from fellow predators and ecological change. Kathrine and Karl Ammann devoted two years to the study of cheetah--this account of their life among the wild cats forms a compelling and poignant narrative, brought to life by some of the best color photographs ever taken of any predator, anywhere.

Eating Apes is an eloquent book about a disturbing secret: the looming extinction of humanity's closest relatives, the African great apes―chimpanzees, bonobos, and gorillas. Dale Peterson's impassioned exposé details how, with the unprecedented opening of African forests by European and Asian logging companies, the traditional consumption of wild animal meat in Central Africa has suddenly exploded in scope and impact, moving from what was recently a subsistence activity to an enormous and completely unsustainable commercial enterprise. Although the three African great apes account for only about one percent of the commercial bush meat trade, today's rate of slaughter could bring about their extinction in the next few decades. Supported by compelling color photographs by award-winning photographer Karl Ammann, Eating Apes documents the when, where, how, and why of this rapidly accelerating disaster. Eating Apes persuasively argues that the American conservation media have failed to report the ongoing collapse of the ape population. In bringing the facts of this crisis and these impending extinctions into a single, accessible book, Peterson takes us one step closer to averting one of the most disturbing threats to our closest relatives.

Never before has African wildlife been illustrated with such power and drama. Here, in marvelous sequences, the reader can follow the stalk, the hunt and the kill of the lion, cheetah, wild dog, and many other animals. The text, written in collaboration with Ian Parker, is both lively and authoritative and is based on startling new evidence about the ways in which predators interact-witnessed first-hand and captured in this superb series of color photographs.
