Photographs by Michael Nichols Text by J. Michael Fay Determined to document the vanishing riches of central Africa's last undeveloped reaches, National Geographic photographer Michael "Nick" Nichols set out with ecologist Mike Fay on the "megatransect expedition" -- a grueling 456-day, 2,000-mile trek from Congo's deepest forest to Gabon's virgin shore. The result is this landmark two-volume set, the most exciting look to date at the beautiful interior of a continent that desperately needs to be understood in order to be preserved. Volume I features the best wildlife images available today, shot by Nichols using new technology that surpasses the telephoto lens and achieves an intimacy never seen before. In Volume II, Fay enhances these images with a detailed journal that relates the real-life drama of the expedition. Threats by armed poachers, disease, and despair are offset by moments of utter astonishment and beauty. An extraordinary achievement in every way, The Last Place on Earth captures both the eye and the imagination.
