The Bushveld: A South African Field Guide

This is an updated and revised edition of the first comprehensive photographic field guide to be published in southern Africa that covers a cross-section of the most prominent animals, plants, birds, insects and tracks and signs of a particular region. It also includes a detailed natural history section for a greater understanding of the people, geology, habitats and ecology of the Bushveld. This guide negates the need to carry more than one guide book when travelling to any southern African Bushveld region. In writing this book Lee has availed himself to the services of many experts who have read and verified facts in their individual areas of expertise, including: Vincent Carruthers and Louis du Preez (amphibians), Jonathan Leeming (scorpions and spiders), Louis Liebenberg (tracking), Hendri Coetzee and Paul van Gaalen (birds), Jens Reissig and Johan Marais (reptiles) and Frits van Oudtshoorn (grasses).
