Book excerpt: This is the story of the Welsh Guards' journey across Africa. Their guiding principle was to avoid centres of civilisation and face any challenge that came their way. With groups of men and women who where mostly novices, they covered 40,000 miles of extreme conditions. John Warbuton-Lee first dreamt up the idea of his trip whilst lying in hospital after breaking his back in a rock-climbing accident. It became a personal goal for him not only to walk again, but to lead an expedition that would be a true adventure in the old-fashioned sense. On the trip he was also able to help Weston Spirit, the charity set up by ex-Welsh Guardsman and Falklands casualty Simon Weston.

Book excerpt: A SPECTACULAR COLLECTION OF IMAGES AND WORDS THAT OFFER A DETAILED GLIMPSE INTO THE UNIQUE BEAUTY AND RHYTHM OF AFRICA’S NATURAL WONDER. Mount Kilimanjaro is the African continent’s highest mountain and the world’s tallest freestanding mountain. It is a geological wonder formed, sculpted, and molded by the natural forces of volcanic fire and glacial ice. At 19,340 feet (5895 meters) high, Kilimanjaro towers above the Great Rift Valley and lies 3 degrees south of the equator, on the northern border of Tanzania, close to southeast Kenya. Kilimanjaro is an accessible mountain that one can climb without the help of any technical equipment. The ascent starts from the cultivated lower slopes with dry blistering heat, through a lush, wet rainforest jungle, into heath and moorland zones, all the way up to the desolate alpine desert landscape and the steep, exposed arctic summit area, where one will experience breathtaking views of the legendary snows of Kilimanjaro. Moushabeck and Schulz invite you along as they explore and climb Mount Kilimanjaro. In this book they capture the essence of this majestic mountain with over 200 full-color photographs and an engaging and entertaining narrative that smoothly ties together personal observations with the mountain’s history, its people, and its ecology.

Download or read book Kilimanjaro Guide written by Bo Belvedere Christensen and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kilimanjaro towers above the diverse nature of East Africa, dwarfing some of the largest landliving mammals in the world. But even as the most prominent mountain of its continent, its summit stands accessible to most. While the climb requires apt preparation and is most comfortably done in good physical shape, the mountain draws in visitors both for its challenge and its charm. Situated in the centre of a national park, the journey to the mountain takes challengers through iconic, wild Africa. This book tells the mountain's tale, from its formation and through history, and provides insight into the nature at its roots and slopes. The book also provides information on some of the many routes up the mountain and guidance to tackle the climate and extreme altitude climbers will meet on their way to the summit. The author has trekked and climbed for more than 45 years, has climbed 8,000-meter peaks, and has led hundreds of clients to the summit of Kilimanjaro on his numerous visits to "The Roof of Africa."

Download or read book Composing the Music of Africa written by Malcolm Floyd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-17 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this volume explores the great diversity of music created by African communities is reflected in this book, which discusses the ways in which a wide range of musical forms are composed and performed from Egypt to South Africa and from Ghana to Kenya. As two composers explain here, this diversity provides much inspiration for western contemporary composition. Particular attention is paid to the contexts generate musical creativity. Ceremonies and festivals celebrating birth, death, marriage or rites of passage provide the impetus for much composition and performance, enabling young people to pick up, early on, some of the techniques and styles of which they then become the new exponents. The book also looks at the role played by formal music education programmes and bodies such as the South African Music Rights Organization and the South African Broadcasting Corporation in fostering musical activity, as well as the contribution of composers to the social and political changes that have dominated South African life in recent years.
