Worthy books about conservation are two-a-penny, and the combination of
authority and readability is rare indeed. But this is exactly what David Western
has achieved with In the Dust of Kilimanjaro. His take-home message is that
prevailing Western conservation policies based on segregation are doomed to
failure. Africa’s wildlife can only survive through coexistence with the
continent’s people. If that leaves you cold, forget the politics and simply
enjoy a riveting story. Published by Island Press, $24.95, ISBN
