The book seeks to uncover the rare essence that marks the landscape of Namibia apart from all others. Few countries in the world are richer than Namibia in its canvas of natural beauty.  The landscape is one of rich and often harsh contrast with many changing moods. A journey through its landscape is infinitely rewarding. Within this book this progression is depicted. The dramatic scenery of remote deserts, mountains, mystical trees and stormy shores are the equal of any. Through her captivating photographs and absorbing text, Amy Schoeman shares with the reader the strange beauties of her life's passion. The superb photographs capture the life of the desert, its forms and colours, and the moods of its ever-changing landscapes. \u003cbr\u003eEPIC LAND is testimony that the material prosperity enjoyed by some in independent Namibia, has not blunted the souls of all. Man fits into the Land with all its ancient savagery and power.\u003cbr\u003eMany of the passages celebrate the power and spirit of the land. Others speak of hope, misery, solitude and loss\u003cbr\u003eAmy Schoeman is based in Windhoek working as a freelance photographer\/writer and editor.
