They appeared 83.5 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous period (Campanian stage) and are the closest living relatives of birds, as the two groups are the only known survivors of the Archosauria. Members of the crocodilian total group, the clade Pseudosuchia, appeared about 250 million years ago in the Early Triassic period, and diversified during the Mesozoic era. The order Crocodilia includes the true crocodiles (family Crocodylidae), the alligators and caimans (family Alligatoridae), and the gharial and false gharial (family Gavialidae). Although the term 'crocodiles' is sometimes used to refer to all of these, a less ambiguous vernacular term for this group is crocodilians. ____________________________________________________  Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.

Postage & packaging R Aramex (PnP store to door) mailing option available. Mahlangeni, the Tsonga word for "meeting place", is one of the most remote ranger stations in the Kruger National Park. Far from everywhere, this isolated corner of the wilderness was home for eleven years to Kobie Kruger, wife of the ranger in charge of the station, and their their three daughters.;Running a household and raising a family in a place where leopards, elephants, snakes and the like are your only neighbours, where you have no telephone, and where a trip to town means first crossing a river full of hippos and crocodiles, is hardly a straightforward business.

The Africa House The true story of an English Gentleman and his African dream - Christina Lamb - Penguin Books - pp, black and white photographs - Paperback in good condition. Postage & packaging R In the last decades of the British Empire, Stewart Gore-Browne built himself a feudal paradise in Northern Rhodesia. The House of the Royal Crocodiles was a sprawling country estate modelled on the finest stately homes in England, complete with uniformed servants, daily muster parades, rose gardens and lavish dinners finished off with vintage port in the library. He wanted to share it with the love of his life, the beautiful unconventional Ethel Locke King, one of the first women to drive and fly. She, however, was nearly twenty years his senior, married and his aunt. Lorna, the only other woman he had ever really cared about, had married another many years earlier. Then he met Lorna’s orphaned daughter, so like her mother that he thought he had seen a ghost. It seemed he had found love and companionship. But the Africa House was his dream, and set against the backdrop of the dying days of empire, it became an increasingly hard dream to share. Based on his extensive diaries and correspondence, this portrait of a fascinating and complex man – a colonialist who beat his servants yet was one of the only white men to support independence, a stiff Englishman with deep passions – is a masterpiece of biography and storytelling.

Author: Jonathan Safran Foer Publisher: Visual Editions () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: As New Binding: Softcover Pages: 285 Dimensions: 21.8 x 13.5 x 2.4 cm +++ by Jonathan Safran Foer +++ With a different die-cut on every page, Tree of Codes explores previously uncharted literary territory. Initially deemed impossible to make, the book is a first - as much a sculptural object as it is a work of masterful storytelling. Tree of Codes is the story of an enormous last day of life - as one character's life is chased to extinction, Foer multi-layers the story with immense, anxious, at times disorientating imagery, crossing both a sense of time and place, making the story of one person's last day everyone's story. In order to write Tree of codes, the author took an English language edition of Bruno Schulz's The street of crocodiles and cut into its pages, carving out a new story.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers.
