Sudan: The Land And the People

In this lengthy photo essay, Freeman's accomplished photographs are beautiful to look at, even as they're also faithful in reporting on the varied features of the land, people, and history that are the subjects of the book's three chapters. Carney, former American ambassador to Sudan, and Butler, a freelance writer and former information officer for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, have written lengthy chapters describing the peoples, religions, geography, industries, and history of the country. The book is oversize, at 10.25x12.25". Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
