Chris Marais and Julienne du Toit went to the beach in South Africa and stayed there for more than two months, travelling all the way from Alexander Bay to Kosi Bay. They dug into history and legend, met all sorts of colourful coast-dwellers, and captured slices of life in South Africa’s seaside towns and cities. Their lavish photographs and lively anecdotes cover a range of coastal topics, including shark cage-diving, polo estates, penguin antics, shipwrecks, whale-watching, Wild Coast beach-hiking, township life and the wonders of the St Lucia Wetland complex. Meet the people they come across, in the pages of Coast to Coast. Share the good light with them. Feel the heat. Stick your toe in two oceans, throw back your head and laugh like no-one’s watching. Sometimes, life just is a bowl of oysters…

Very good condition.'A particularly fine example of Victorian sporting literature, the book was markedly successful and ran to many editions. Gordon-Cumming writes of his hunting expedition which started from Grahamstown in October 1843 and which took him through countryside teeming with game -"not with herds, but with'one vast herd'of springboks; as far as the eye could strain."- to the Orange River and Griqualand West where he met Oswell, and, at Kuruman, Robert Moffat and, soon after, David Livingstone. He appears to have hunted every species of South African fauna and to have indulged himself in the sport to an extent almost unique even amongst the mighty hunters of Africa. The narrative is valuable for its description of the country and its inhabitants, and for its zoological and botanical notes.'

It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 10 - 15 working days South Africa has lost 116 indigenous flower species to three extinction categories: 'Extinct', 'Extinct in the Wild' and 'Critically Endangered, Possibly Extinct'. Mindful of the fact that extinctions are mainly due to people, Cape-based photographer Anneke Kearney compiled this photographic record of endangered plants to make people aware of the dire future of our beautiful plants, so that nobody can say, 'I didn't know'. Cape Town has more threatened species than any other area in the country. The most important other hotspots are Coega, Albany, Pondoland, KwaZulu-Natal midlands and Drakensberg, Magaliesberg, Sekhukhuneland-Drakensberg and Barberton. Renowned botanist and conservation campaigner, Dr Tony Rebelo, says in the Foreword that a call to action is not just for us. "It is for our children. It is not just for esoteric and idealist reasons. Thousands of visitors come...every year just for the biodiversity. Hundreds of thousands more have it as one of the reasons for their visit. Our health, our relaxation, our existence is enhanced by living in a biodiversity showcase. The Littlest Kingdom on earth must retain its splendour...there is space for everyone, including the biodiversity that occurs nowhere else on earth. This book with its spectacular photographs of rare and little seen plants, is sure to make a huge contribution to raising awareness of and spreading critical information on our indigenous flora. Features Summary A showcase of spectacular photographs of rare and little seen plants, raising awareness of their endangerment.
