PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Anthony Ham is a freelance writer and photographer who, over the last eighteen years, has built a reputation as a trusted guide and expert companion for a generation of adventurous readers and safari travellers. A veteran nature and travel writer, Anthony's work has appeared in newspapers and magazines in Australia and worldwide, including The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Monthly, Virginia Quarterly Review (US), National Geographic Traveler (US), BBC Wildlife (UK), Lonely Planet Magazine (UK), Africa Geographic (UK), The Independent (UK), Travel Africa (UK), and others. Anthony has written more than 100 guidebooks for Lonely Planet. In doing so, he has become a trusted name, both for editors - in nearly twenty years as a writer, Anthony has never submitted work late, and has become Lonely Planet's go-to writer for difficult assignments - and for readers whose lives depend on him getting the facts right. His titles include bestselling guides to Kenya, Tanzania, East Africa, and Botswana & Namibia. Since the beginning of 2016 alone, guidebooks he has written have sold more than 125,000 copies worldwide. His first work of narrative non-fiction, The Last Lions of Africa, was publishing in 2020.
"""Ham's initial assumption that Clark was a ""benevolent, modern-day Kurtz with a devoted band of friends and followers"" evolves into a more nuanced portrait of a dedicated and fearless, if flawed, environmental campaigner, social activist and family-man. Most importantly, his story is a compelling vehicle for drawing the world's attention to just how dire the threat to the Amazon has become."" --Sydney Morning Herald"
