would notswap it for a whole five-foot shelf of Africana.”  \nA REPORT BY John P.Marquand  \nWHEN I was in British East Africa last summer,I heard manyaccounts of the early cave paintings that exist in remote parts ofthat immense and fabulous continent.Their subject is principallythe animals of Africa.They are painted in glowing colors and are said to give anunforgettable illusion of liveliness and beauty.I have never seen these paintingsthat have excited the imagination of so many travelers,but,having read Mr.Moorehead's book,I can believe that he has achieved the same effect withwords.At any rate,No Room in the Ark is one of the most vividly and beautifullywritten books I have ever read about the Africa that most interests the casualreader.  \nIt is in no sense a conventional travel book,nor an attempt,crammed withfacts and figures,to assess Africa's social and political future-although it does  \nThe photographs on the front cover and in the review arefrom the

written,and ncverovcrwritten,by an artist of words whieh tells of animals that still survive and oftribes stillresistant to Western culture and of lonely stretches of eountry,someof thcm hardly ever visited by man.It is also,being a report on Alan Moorehead'smany visits to Afriea,a eommentary on the life led by settlers in the Kenyahighlands,of Nairobi game-hunting safaris,of farms and of game parks.Thegame—the vast herds of zebra,antelope and clephant that swarmed over theonce almost uninhabited hills of East Africa—have bccn largely exterminatedby hunters or settlers,both black and white,and poachers are now raising havoewith animals in governmcnt-protccted areas.Nevertheless,to a newcomer,therestillsecm to be plenty left.A fifteen-minute motor ride out of Nairobi.for in-stance,will put you among ostrieh,giraffe,lion,zebra and all sorts of gazelleliving in a wild state,though undcr Her Majesty's guardianship.  \nMr.Moorehead will tcll you about these creaturcs so that you ean see themclearly through his words,and no one,not even Mr.Hemingway,has everdeseribed more sensitively the amazing way these animals fit into the Afrieanlandseape.He will take you further afield to the greater preserves,where it is  \npossible,with almost no hardship,to encounter with com-parative safety the elephant,the rhinoceros and the buffalo.He will take you further still,far to the west of MountKilimanjaro to regions where the animals have seldom beendisturbed,into the Ngorongoro Crater and across the Ser-engeti and Engatapusi Plains.He will tell you of his journeyto get a glimpse of the great gorilla and of his journey to thebeautiful Karamojong tribe,whose young men,clad in littlemore than an ostrich plume,are able to run as fast as theantelope.  \nYou will read of all these wonders with complete absorp-tion,and you will immediately be conscious that this is noguide book,no mere well-informed travelogue,but a workof art.Few travelers in the fascinating worlds of Africa havebrought to their writings Mr.Moorehead's literary skill andhis almost uncanny ability of seeing the right things—andof omitting those that only clutter narrative and description.He is a delight to read.Best of all,he has none of the ego-centricity of the","cbCaibDEGoPcBeZg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibDEGoPcBeZg","pdf",1917757,26,"English","# Book-of-the-Month Club NEWS\n## January
