N2  - The most extraordinary book on lions ever published, In the Lion's Den offers a rare glimpse into the world of the lion, whether at play, on the hunt, or simply dozing in the midday sun. In the tradition of his best-selling volume Serengeti: Natural Order on the African Plain, internationally acclaimed photographer Mitsuaki Iwago has turned his singular vision to the lions of one of the most admired regions in East Africa. Bringing to his photographs the sensibility of a painter, Iwago portrays these magnificent cats in all their grace and ferocity, unguarded and up close. Two males fight fiercely over territory; young cubs nuzzle up to their mother; a pride devours freshly killed prey - over 100 breathtaking images offer a uniquely intimate view of lions in the splendors of their natural habitat
