In Search of the African Lion, published in 2012 as a glossy coffee-table book, is a fascinating tale about these magnificent cats, their biology, relationship with humans, and the sad tale of the reduction in wild lion populations in Africa from some 450 000, 50 years ago to just 23 000 today. This year, the renowned freelance photographer and author team combined their years of immersion in the life of the African lion, with the African Storybook unit of immedia, a Durban-based post-PC digital studio, to bring this beautiful product to Apple’s iBooks platform.
