Book Synopsis South Africa Landscapes by : Struik Publishers
Download or read book South Africa Landscapes written by Struik Publishers and published by B H B Distribution. This book was released on 1997 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The photographs portray the typical South Africa, that is tourist attractions, famous landmarks and landscape features, fauna and flora that are clearly identifiable with South Africa. Every picture tells its own story, for example, photographs showing vast, uninhabited areas, or simply the country's beauty (Blyde River Canyon, Table Mountain, etc). Pictures of fauna typify animal behaviour or characteristics like animals drinking at a water hole or running in a herd. The design makes the most of the pictures by featuring quite a few double-page spreads (26 in total) and concentrates on full-page bleeds; three-quarter pictures across the gutter are limited and were only used in cases where a photograph particularly warranted it.

Book Synopsis Wines of the New South Africa by : Tim James
Download or read book Wines of the New South Africa written by Tim James and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sought after by European aristocrats and a favorite of Napoleon Bonaparte, the sweet wines of Constantia in the Cape Colony were considered to be among the worldÕs best during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. During the first democratic elections in 1994, South Africa began to re-emerge onto the international wine scene. Tim James, an expert on South African wines, takes the reader on an information-packed tour of the region, showing us how and why the unique combination of terroir and climate, together with dramatic improvements in winemaking techniques, result in wines that are once again winning accolades. James describes important grape varieties and wine stylesÑfrom delicate sparkling, to rich fortified, and everything in betweenÑincluding the varietal blends that produce some of the finest Cape wines. Anchoring his narrative in a rich historical context, James discusses all the major wine regions, from Cederberg to Walker Bay, complete with profiles of more than 150 of the countryÕs finest producers.
Book Synopsis Securing Wilderness Landscapes in South Africa by : Harry Wels
Download or read book Securing Wilderness Landscapes in South Africa written by Harry Wels and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-05-12 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Private wildlife conservation is booming business in South Africa! Nick Steele stood at the cradle of this development in the politically turbulent 1970s and 1980s, by stimulating farmers in Natal (now KwaZulu-Natal) to pool resources in order to restore wilderness landscapes, but at the same time improve their security situation in cooperative conservancy structures. His involvement in Operation Rhino in the 1960s and subsequent networks to save the rhino from extinction, brought him into controversial military (oriented) networks around the Western world. The author’s unique access to his private diaries paints a personal picture of this controversial conservationist.

Book Synopsis Gondwana Landscapes in southern South America by : Jorge Rabassa
Download or read book Gondwana Landscapes in southern South America written by Jorge Rabassa and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-04-11 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents extensive and new information on the geomorphology of cratonic areas of southern South America. It includes valuable data relating to recurrent controversies in general geomorphology beyond the boundaries of South America and reveals the great need to integrate many different aspects of geomorphology in regional studies. With the focus on ancient landscapes and especially on planation surfaces it addresses the question of what processes could form such huge features, and how they can be preserved for so long. Many of the papers include maps of planation surfaces or other geomorphic units. The volume brings together an up-to-date, state-of-the-art collection of information on South American geomorphology, and shows beyond doubt that geomorphology is on the same time scale as global tectonics, biological evolution and major climate change. Some of the papers describe ancient geomorphological features of areas that have never been studied or published before, while others describe regions which are totally unknown to the public. The scope of the book extends from tropical latitudes north of the Tropic of Capricorn, south to freezing Patagonia in the “roaring fifties”, more than 3,500 km from north to south. Including over one thousand citations from geological and geomorphological literature, this volume will serve as a starting point for a whole new phase of studies of the fascinating landscape history of southern South America.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1961, this book was the first comprehensive work on South African geography that also presented a balanced account of all facets of the economic life. It was written to provide background information on South Africa – the nature of the country, its resources and deficiencies, its historic settlement by peoples of different races and of the progress made and the difficulties encountered in the major areas of economic activity: agriculture, mining, manufacturing and trade. In discussing these factors the book acknowledged that in South Africa the complexities of the relationships between peoples of different racial origins and widely differently economic and cultural standards are met in one country.
