Description: Straddling the equator on Africa's Atlantic coast, Gabon remains one of the continent's least-known nations—a country where dense rainforest canopies shelter forest elephants and lowland gorillas, and where coastal lagoons meet centuries of layered history. This richly researched volume traces the land from its geographic foundations and Atlantic shoreline through the intricate ecology of its forests, the deep currents of indigenous heritage, and the transformations of colonial rule and independence. Readers are guided through the pulse of Libreville and its urban satellites, the celebrated wildlife reserves that have made Gabon a conservation frontier, and finally the practical realities of travel across this equatorial nation. An essential companion for anyone drawn to Central Africa's quiet wonders.
