| Summary: | Africa has long evoked tales of tribal peoples, big game, and exotic landscapes. In the year of 2000, globalization aside, the deserts of the "Dark Continent" still retain their mystery. Through his images of these vast, deceptively desolate stretches, geographer and photographer Michael Martin lays bare the cultural and spiritual core of Africa. His travels across the Sahara, the Kalahari, the Namib, and the volcanic wastelands of the Rift Valley have also acquainted him with the diverse desert residents who eke out an existence in these harsh, parched regions.
