Horn of Darkness

What hope remains for Africa's black rhinos? Written by a husband-and-wife scientific team, this book addresses that question by telling the story - part travelogue, part gripping adventure - of three years in the fierce Namib desert studying Africa's last sizeable population of free-roaming black rhinos.

Moving beyond typical nature studies, Horn of Darkness gets to the heart of real world conservation - a delicate mix of western science and local interests, political and economic influences, and personal commitment.
