<p>112 years in the making, finally a second edition of CH Stigand's Scouting & Reconnaissance in Savage Countries. Introduced and edited by CA Brown, this new edition has been completely reset and includes all original illustrations as well as new photographs. Originally published in 1907, Scouting & Reconnaissance in Savage Countries is one of several books which inspired the Scouting movement worldwide. Originally released as a waterproof cloth-covered field book, there was never a second printing and there has never been a paperback edition until now. With original first editions costing thousands, this new paperback edition finally sees Stigand's seminal work on the topic of Scouting and Reconnaissance made accessible to today's camper, traveller, Scouter and historian.</p>

Originally published in 1915, this book formed the first English monograph on the Swahili dialects. Detailed information is presented on variations between the many different dialects, together with an appendices section which includes the poem 'The Inkishafi', in both Swahili and an English translation. A significant aspect of the text is that it was written at a time when the newer dialect of Zanzibar was rapidly supplanting numerous older dialects; it can thus be seen as an important document of the Swahili language during a period of change. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Swahili and the development of linguistics.
