Shadow of Kilimanjaro

"Ridgeway, whose new book, 'The Shadow of Kilimanjaro', is an account of his trip, broaches a variety of subjects as he and his companions make their way through an area rich with animals and echoing with the exploits of earlier travelers--British empire builders, native hunters, tourists like Ernest Hemingway. Ridgeway's effort is to use his trek, which takes him from the ice fields of Africa's highest mountain to the Indian Ocean, about three days' walk away, as a starting point for reflections on history and nature."Ridgeway, Rick is the author of 'Shadow of Kilimanjaro' with ISBN 9780805053906 and ISBN 0805053905.
