On Route in South Africa
BPJ Erasmus ISBN 9781868420254 Publication date 2007 RRP R 230 This brand-new edition of On Route in South Africa takes an in-depth look at the myriad villages, towns and cities that combine to make South Africa such a fascinating country in which to travel. The focus is on the informative and often intriguing tales these places have to tell – stories that, as the author says, dwell on ‘man and his doings, both heroic and silly’. Described in detail, too, are the origins of the localities and their names, their growth over the decades – and their present-day character and attractions. The book ignores political boundaries and, instead, divides the country into established and coherent geographic or demographic areas. Included are detailed regional maps, complemented by route directions within the text; the 37 chapters are arranged in logical sequence, beginning with Cape Town and radiating outwards. Collectively, these divisions portray a land of immense diversity, one that ranges from the green and pleasant valleys of the Cape hinterland through the wind-blown western sandveld to the subtropical lushness of the east. With its up-to-date and expanded text, its more than 500 new photographs and 37 new maps, On Route contains a wealth of information. |
