After practicing medicine for sixteen years, William F. Wheeler bought a Land Rover and began traveling Africa on his own. After 40,000 miles in the Land Rover, he explored the most exotic and remote areas on foot. More than 5,000 of his photos, and 30 artifacts from his travels, are in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History.

Alive in Africa chronicles Wheeler's exceptional journeys through three regions of "a continent of great extremes," the Sahara desert, the Rift Valley and the Congo. Illustrated with the author's stunning color photographs, this beautifully written book transports us back to the explorers of the nineteenth century. Like them, Wheeler traveled without the aid of a GPS, satellite telephone or emergency contact devices. His support team consisted of porters, donkeys, camels and nomad guides. Hardcover, 288 pages. Measures 6-1/4" x 9-3/8". Color photographs throughout.
