"Ulendo" is the word for "journey" in the Chinyanja language of Malawi.
This book documents Carr's summer journeys through Africa.
While there on official business to study animal-borne diseases and sea turtle habitats, he beautifully captures a raw, pre-industrialized African ecosystem.
Overall in Very Good condition.
The jacket is in lesser condition (Good+) with a few small edge tears, mostly at the top edge, and one on the back bottom corner of the DJ flap.
The jacket is bumped at the spine ends, and there are previously-done white tape repairs on the underside; the DJ price is clipped and in a protective mylar.
The book itself is in great shape.
The board cloth is clean and bright, the corners sharp, and the binding secure.
The inner joints are intact with no cracks or flaws.
Endpapers and pages are clean, bright, and unmarked.
A nice solid copy! [C3]
