The author in his preface states "We are living in a time of momentous changes for the Africans and many Europeans realize that in our country a statesman will have achieved little if he has not helped the African in his struggle for education and improvement in his status".

This was published in seventeen parts, and is a guide to travellers, explorers, and settlers, founded on the experiences of the authors, and referring incidentally to South Africa. Wallis (J.P.R.) Thomas Baines, second edition, Cape Town 1976, pages 157-8. 'Apparently through the undertaking (the publication of Nature and Art) he came to know an ex-artillery officer, W.B. Lord, who had travelled in Canada and Asia and now proposed that he and Baines should collaborate to put out a travellers' handbook, something on the lines of Galton's Art of Travel. It was a bulky work of some eight hundred quarto pages issued serially towards the end of 1868, and involved Baines in a great deal of exacting preparatory work. He contributed the major part of the text and practically all the illustrations, some of which he cut on wood, having taught himself the art.' 'William Lord and Thomas Baines intended Shifts and Expedients to be a wide-ranging manual of instruction on the art of surviving in, and enjoying, the great outdoors of the nineteenth century. Pooling their considerable experience of strange lands they produced an encyclopaedia of practical living for the aspirant explorer of a hundred years ago. Everything is explained: wagons and boats, horses and oxen, tents and firearms, hunting and fishing, observing and collecting, carpentry and metal-working, camping requisites, bush cuisine, medical improvisation, the best ways to cross rivers, to move heavy objects, to build huts. The work is lavishly illustrated with wood-engravings by Baines. Mendelssohn (Sidney) South African Bibliography Vol. 1 Book No: 2501231

About the product With a supplementary chapter by John L. Comaroff, and a supplementary bibliography by Adam Kuper. 233 x 155 mm; card wrappers; pp. 93, incl. index; map; tables. Wrappers and edges foxed, occasional fox spot elsewhere; earlier bookseller's ink stamp to half-title. Good."Originally published as part of the Ethnographic Survey of Africa by the International African Institute, this study of the Tswana, now in its seventh reprint, has proved one of the most respected and popular in the series. Succinctly written, it is a thorough study of a major division of the Sotho group of the Bantu-speaking peoples of Southern Africa. The Tswana, whose main homeland is Botswana, have been much written about in the twentieth century; this study, together with Professor Schapera's other writings on the Tswana, forms a very significant section of our knowledge and understanding of an important group. Continually referred to by other leading anthropologists, it remains a classic."
