Africa's Big Five and Other Wildlife Filmmakers: A Centenary of Wildlife Filming in Kenya

Acknowledgements

Acknowledgements Many people have been very kind in helping me research this book. Some have lent me books or given me links to the internet, most have trawled their memories, and many have dug out bits of their own family history including photographs, press cuttings, books, and even copies of films. Some have even spent time in libraries overseas, coming up with obscure articles and information. I thank them all, and couldn’t have even scratched the surface of the subject without them.

I would also like to thank Professor Kimani Njogu and his team, my publishers, without whom this book would never have seen the light Africa’s Big Five and other Wildlife Filmmakers vii of day. Mia Collis deserves gratitude for designing the cover. I am particularly grateful to my lovely editor, Stephanie Kitchen who turned my colloquial chat into some kind of grammatical order, and made suggestions and improvements way beyond the call of duty. viii Africa’s Big Five and other Wildlife Filmmakers ...
