Eyelids of Morning-The Mingled Destinies of Crocodiles and Men

Hailed by reviewers as "entralling", "spectacular", and "vividly dramatic" when it was first published in 1974, Eyelids of Morning remains a standard for natural history reporting, stunning wildlife photography, cutting edge ecological ideas, and hard-core realism. The legendary and fearsome Nile crocodiles and the Turkana tribes people who live side by side with them are the focus of this newly reissued classic, the dramtic and adventurous tale of Alistair Graham's three years of research on Kenya's Lake Rudolf. Joined by photographer Peter Beard- whose prodigious talent is displayed here in over two hundred full-colour and duotone photographs- Graham undertook an investigation into the habits, history and dubious future of one of the last great crocodile populations on earth in an unprecented scientific effort to prevent this population's almost certain extinction.
