Africa is a source of amazing bio-diversity and home to some of the planet#s most spectacular landscapes. The sights of this awe-inspiring continent are captured with consummate skill and sensitivity by master lensman Michael Poliza. With extensive experience photographing the animals and terrain of Africa, Poliza#s viewpoint is shaped by his concern for the fragile eco-systems he chronicles. These images embody the soul of Africa#s flora and fauna with a true artist#s eye for color and composition. This book will be enjoyed for years to come. Poliza started as a child actor on German TV, then founded several highly successful IT ventures in the US and Germany. His #STARSHIP MILLENNIUM VOYAGE,# around the world on a 75 ft expedition yacht, was avidly followed by millions via internet. Poliza now focuses mainly on filming and photography, including work for the Discovery Channel. He spends a great deal of time based in Cape Town, and is a pioneer in the use of digital photography for coffee table books.
