Description: Journey to one of Earth's most extraordinary bodies of water in this sweeping exploration of Lake Turkana, the jade-hued desert sea cradled within Kenya's Great Rift Valley. From the fossil beds that earned its shores the title "Cradle of Humanity" to the volcanic forces that shaped its basin, this book weaves together geology, hydrology, and deep history with vivid portraits of the Turkana, El Molo, and Rendille peoples who call its arid coasts home. Along the way, readers encounter the lake's remarkable wildlife, its relentless winds, and the mounting environmental pressures that will determine its future. A richly layered portrait of a place where landscape, life, and human origins converge.
