520			_a"Exploration of Aïr: Out of the World North of Nigeria" by Angus Buchanan is a narrative travelogue written in the early 20th century. It details the author's adventurous journey through the less-explored mountainous region of Aïr, located in the Sahara, and captures the cultural and natural wonders of the area. The book provides an intimate glimpse into the various tribes encountered, including the Hausa and Tuareg, while also highlighting the author's experiences and observations as he travels through remote landscapes. The opening of the work sets the stage for Buchanan's expedition by introducing the reader to his preparation and journey from Lagos to Kano. With a focus on the challenges of finding suitable companions for his travels, the narrative depicts his encounters with local natives, including a boy named John who becomes a steadfast aide. As he navigates the bustling markets and explores the local culture, he lays the groundwork for his adventure into the wild terrains of Aïr, aiming to document the region's flora and fauna. Buchanan's candid reflections on colonial attitudes and the realities of travel in unfamiliar territories reflect a complex interplay of adventure, scientific inquiry, and cultural exchange that defines the narrative's early chapters.
