Turkana: Kenya's Nomads of the Jade Sea

Superb color photographs, many of them full page, illustrate this documentation of the traditions of one of the last truly nomadic peoples who inhabit one of the least hospitable corners of the world. The author traces the prehistory of the region, tells of the extraordinary wealth of wildlife that once populated the area, and recounts the history of the colonial period, thereby creating a vivid picture of a vital traditional culture.
