This follow-up edition highlights the renewed sense of creativity and inspiration that is sweeping across the country against all odds. South African craft artists proliferate in these precarious economic times and maintain their artistic integrity with perseverance and passion. This book showcases the versatility and skill of some of the many artists working in South Africa today. It takes pride in the wide variety of tactile craft art works created, and explores the interdisciplinary nature of creativity through the examination of beading, basket weaving, ceramics, fibre art, glass sculpture, metal and wirework, recycling, and wood carving. It rejoices in the sharing of skills between cultures, and in the sharing of creative knowledge towards upliftment and employment. But above all, it celebrates the craft artists themselves and honours their sheer ingenuity. Features Summary Much has changed since Craft Art in South Africa was published in 2002.

In Johannesburg, this is a way of life - from the frontier town's gold-rush beginnings and subsequent decades of political violence to Joburg now - the economic hub of southern Africa. Built on top of the world's largest gold fields, Johannesburg is always an interesting destination. Inside Joburg is a carefully curated insiders' guide - from the same team that produced the acclaimed bestselling The Joburg Book - filled with unique Joburg experiences to be explored and enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. Inside Joburg takes the reader on a fascinating tour of the city and its surrounds - from ancient meteor strikes to the remarkable fossil discoveries at the Cradle of Humankind, and the people and places that make Johannesburg famous, including Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, and the former townships of Soweto, Alexandra and Lenasia. Inside Joburg also showcases architecture, art, music, festivals, sports, dining out and shopping - and includes a list of Joburg's best green spaces.

DAVID ANDERSON "ON SAFARI" THE SOURCE FOR SAFARIS IN EAST AND SOUTHERN AFRICA David Anderson is an expert on safari design and planning with over 30 years of experience, renowned for his knowledge of safari destinations. He  became captivated by Africa after a five-week trip to Kenya in 1978 and two years later, planned and organized his first safari for a small group of friends. That success led him to organize other safaris, which eventually resulted in the creation of David Anderson Safari. Over the years, he has designed hundreds of safaris and personally escorted over fifty. Concerned with declining tourism to Africa and the inevitable impact that this was having on endangered wildlife, Anderson organized the 'Focus on Africa' Project in 1993. Over a sixteen-week period, one hundred thirty-six mostly amateur photographers traveled throughout East and Southern Africa on twenty-five safaris, which he designed. In all, more than 250,000 photo frames were exposed.  The award winning book,  On Safari: The Source for Safaris in East and Southern Africa  was inspired because David saw the need for an attractive coffee-table book that provided more than just wonderful pictures and  should be a resource book with solid information for the safari traveler. Anderson lives in Santa Barbara, California, but travels frequently to Africa in search of knowledge, adventure, and of course, to practice the art and science of photography.
