(Czech: Bibliography of African Big Game Hunting Books 1785-1999, p. 268) "A handsome volume that examines wild game, its habitat and spoor within Kenya, Uganda and the eastern Congo regions. Stigand observes game traits on the plains, and in the bush and forested areas detailing animal movements, coloration and even preservation of game. There are interesting chapters comparing hunting big game to shooting, and also on stalking." - Kenneth Czech
