Klappentext: "African Trees is
primarily an art book containing breathtaking images of some of the most extraordinary and beautiful
indigenous trees in Southern and East Africa. Through photographs and text it conveys the magic of African
trees and their vital interrelationship with the continent's people, animals, birds and insects. The book
takes the reader on a journey to a range of habitats - from the savanna of the Serengeti and the bushveld of
Mpumalanga to riverine forests, woodlands and other fragile ecosystems in the game reserves and national
parks of South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Kenya. Seventeen pristine destinations are
covered in all. The authors' hope is to encourage readers to look beyond the game and the birds and thereby
appreciate the intrinsic beauty of the trees that sustain the wildlife and often ensure its very survival.
Unlike the images in field guides, the photographs in this book depict the trees as dynamic organisms
located in the unique landscapes of Africa. The text accompanying the superb photographs is essentially an
account of the authors' personal experiences among the trees of Africa, but it also touches on topics
relating to conservation, animal activity, and the traditional and medicinal uses of trees by those who live
among them and depend on them. African Trees is a work of great personal conviction that challenges
the way trees are perceived. It will appeal to everyone who wants to savour the remarkable beauty of
Africa's trees and the diverse environments in which they grow."

Bushveld Trees
Lifeblood of the Transvaal Lowveld
von Malcolm Funston (Fotos), Peter Borchert (Text) & Braam van Wyk (Text)
Verleger: "Trees dominate the
bushveld - everywhere they are an integral part of the savanna landscape. Whether huge and stately or
straggly and shrub-like, they all provide food and shelter of some sort to other life forms, and are an
essential link in the chain of life. They are, indeed, the lifeblood of the eastern Transvaal Lowveld. This
region, which includes the world-renowned Kruger National
Park, harbours more than 400 tree species, and in Bushveld Trees is divided into areas that
commonly host specific types of trees: the dry north, where mopane trees stretch as far as the eye can
see; acacia country, so characteristic of the African veld with its dense thickets of spiny shrubs,
impressive umbrella thorn sentinels, and leadwood skeletons; and mixed woodlands, with their densely clad
cluster-leaves and bushwillows. There are also silver trees, whose foliage shimmers like brushed steel in
the sunlight; and the trees that draw their sustenance from the rivers – giant sycamore figs and aptly
named sausage trees. Malcolm Funston's sensitive photography reveals the beauty and infinite variety of the
bushveld trees as well as the changing hues of their foliage. His discerning eye searches out the detail of
leaves, flowers, fruit and bark, and the animals - insects, birds and mammals - that live in close
association with the trees. The photography is complemented by a readable, informative text which not only
describes the trees but provides fascinating glimpses into their natural history and ecology."

Verleger: "This photographic showcase
features the rich and unique wild flowers of the Cape and opens with a portfolio of colourful
representatives of the region's floral wealth. The flowers presented are grouped together according to
geographical regions, beginning in the north-west near Niewoudtville, then moving southwards towards Cape
Town and then eastwards as far as Port Elizabeth. Unique families are included, among them the Proteas,
Ericas, Mesembranths, Bruniacea and amaryllas. Following upon the photographic portfolio the author explores
this flora, the reasons for its uniqueness and variety and types of vegetation associated with the different
areas. He looks at the role that fire plays in generating a range of otherwise dormant species and the
effects of rainfall and other climatic factors on the type of flora in each area. Also discussed are the
interrelationships between the flowers and other living forms, such as birds, insects and mammals."

The Color Encyclopedia of Cape
Bulbs
von John Manning, Peter Goldblatt &
Deirdré Snijman
Verleger: "The Cape Region, at the
southern tip of Africa, is easily among the richest centers for bulbous plants and probably the most famous.
Nearly 1200 species of bulbous plants find their home there and almost three-quarters of them occur nowhere
else. This first complete account of all the bulbous plants of the Cape Floral Region is an essential aid to
the identification of all species presently in cultivation as well as the many others that are potentially
valuable horticultural subjects. The book is richly illustrated with high-quality color photographs of more
than half the species of Cape bulbs, many of which have never before been illustrated."

Ericas of South Africa
von Dolf Schumann, Gerhard Kirsten &
E.G.H. Oliver (Beratung)
Verleger: "Ericas of South Africa
is the most comprehensive illustrated work ever published on the Ericas genus, one of the most
complex, and beautiful, components of the South African fynbos. Some 450 species are described, and
each description is accompanied by one or more magnificent colour photographs that demonstrate the species'
botanical intricacy or show it in its habitat. Many of the ericas featured are illustrated for the
first time. The text, based on sound botanical knowledge but intended for lay rather than academic
readership, highlights memorable features of each erica described. It has been compiled with the assistance
of E.G.H. Oliver, the recognized expert on the erica family, and includes sections about the early
collectors and botanists who specialized in ericas, as well as on gardening with ericas and photographing
the flowers. In discussion of the genus as a whole, the authors relate some of the exciting tales of
discovery of new species and rediscovery of 'lost' ones, tales in which they themselves have been involved.
This beautiful publication is an invaluable record of an intriguing and highly diverse genus, many of whose
members are endangered."
