In the Lion's Den is a phenomenal photo documentary of the Lions
of the Serengeti. Each page is graced with stunning images of
lions, documenting nearly all stages in the natural history of
Iwago's subjects. Pictures of mating, baby cubs, hunting, feeding,
and fighting amongst males excellently portray the culture within
a pride of lions and are accompanied by brief captions that identify
the captured behavior. While the pictures are excellent, the accompanying
text is brief and only superficially explains the scene. More
factual information would be much appreciated, but it is obvious
from the excellent graphical design of the book that the photography
is on display and the text is merely an afterthought. Iwago has
succeeded in compiling a beautiful, brilliant and comprehensive
book that will beg you to flip through the pages on many different
occasions.
