This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you are interested in the old classics or the modern ones (or both), whether you want to read about Tanganyika or Tanzania, Rhodesia or Zimbabwe, Northern Rhodesia or Zambia, there are literally hundreds of books described to whet your big game hunting reading appetite.Eleven years ago, Ken Czech produced a much needed bibliography of African hunting books, but it only went up to 1950. It was a publishing success but a great number of our customers¿big game hunters, big game hunting book collectors and casual readers of big game hunting books¿wanted a work that included books from the great African hunting era of the 1950s and through the 1990s. In this work, they have been granted their wish. In addition, a number of titles, especially the elusive privately printed ones, came to light. The result, a current, vastly expanded (almost double the number of entries) annotated bibliography that will be appreciated by all big game hunting aficionados and considered essential for collectors, dealers, historians, and armchair safari enthusiasts.This bibliography gives a complete physical description of the books, notes illustrations and presence of maps, and mentions whether the books were issued with dust jackets. In addition, there is a description of the countries hunted, the locale where the hunting occurred and the game bagged. Often the name of the Professional Hunter is included as well.And for those who like stories of exploration and hunting, or pioneer settlers and their adventures as they opened the African frontiers, Ken Czech has included books that contain both hunting and exploration, hunting and settling, and hunting and traveling. After all, the earliest rugged individuals who ventured into the African interior were explorers, soldiers or missionaries who hunted in order to survive. Their tales are every bit as exciting as those of the earliest big game hunters and men who hunted (mainly ivory) for a living.In addition there is a section showing colored illustrations of 32 of the books.All these things combine to make this a work that is not likely to be surpassed for its historical and literary aspects, and general appeal to a broad market segment. From the first stalwart individuals who ventured to Africa, to the more recent groups of intrepid sportsmen who trod the game paths across the Dark Continent, virtually all of those who have recounted their efforts in book form (prior to 2000), are represented here.As North America¿s premier dealer in antiqarian big game hunting books (as well as a publisher of fine signed limited edition African hunting books), we are proud to have published this important work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1947, this book is considered one of the best ever written on hunting the African buffalo. “John F. Burger, Afrikander and author of this book, would heartily endorse any theatrical effort to simulate the charge of an African bull buffalo—if no human life is to be risked. This notable professional hunter, who is here being introduced to the American public, has miraculously survived to live and tell of many last-ditch encounters with the powerful and crafty buffalo. Mr. Burger’s experiences in the game fields of his native continent cover a period of forty years, and in that time more than one thousand of the massive brutes have fallen to his rifles. As he takes care to explain, only a small number of the animals in that record bag have actually charged; but in that temperate statement there rests proof of his usual success in placing a first, effective hit—the shot that renders a charge improbable. Failure of that first shot, or the effect of factors beyond the hunter’s control, constitutes the explosive cap that can set this specimen of black dynamite into action. Once the buffalo’s charge is actually under way his only objective is to produce a dead hunter. The animal has accomplished his grim purpose in many instances. Too frequently the gored and trampled victim has been a veteran of the trails, not a novice hunter or a defenseless native. In some vitally unaccountable way the buffalo had gained advantages at a rate faster than was allowed the hunter. The man was then denied that last precious asset for survival, luck. Our author lives to tell of his close encounters with the horned death simply because luck never failed to tip the scales in his favor.”

Download or read book The Paleoanthropology and Archaeology of Big Game Hunting written by John D. Speth and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-08 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, paleoanthropology has been closely wedded to the idea that big-game hunting by our hominin ancestors arose, first and foremost, as a means for acquiring energy and vital nutrients. This assumption has rarely been questioned, and seems intuitively obvious—meat is a nutrient-rich food with the ideal array of amino acids, and big animals provide meat in large, convenient packages. Through new research, the author of this volume provides a strong argument that the primary goals of big-game hunting were actually social and political—increasing hunter’s prestige and standing—and that the nutritional component was just an added bonus. Through a comprehensive, interdisciplinary research approach, the author examines the historical and current perceptions of protein as an important nutrient source, the biological impact of a high-protein diet and the evidence of this in the archaeological record, and provides a compelling reexamination of this long-held conclusion. This volume will be of interest to researchers in Archaeology, Evolutionary Biology, and Paleoanthropology, particularly those studying diet and nutrition.
