Kalb is an expert on the Afar Depression, having studied the area for nearly 30 years, and he was co-founder of the expedition that discovered Lucy
The viewpoint here is very contrary to the standard accounts of expeditions in the Afar, revealing many of the personalities and conflicts within the search teams, including an assailing assessment of Donald Johanson
This is the first book to cover the geology and natural history of this important region
It sets the research in its historical and political context: the fascinating, often brutal world of Haile Sellassie' s Ethiopia and its aftermath
