The Greater Kruger Park is not only Big Five country - it is home to thousands of plant and animal species, each a link in a delicate ecological web. The Park is situated in the Lowveld, a wide coastal plain of fairly dry savanna. The mosaic of habitats created by the various soil types and larger rivers dissecting the Park supports a myriad of organisms, both large and small. The purpose of this book is to introduce the richness of animal life to the Park's visitors. All the common, readily seen species are thus described here in an unique, user-friendly way which combines text, photographs and easily recognised symbols. This book allows you to experience 68 mammal species, 215 birds, 17 reptiles and 8 amphibians.

<p>Large cats are some of the most fascinating carnivores in Africa, and there is probably no better place to observe these magnificent creatures than Mala Mala, a reserve bordering the Kruger Park, and generally considered one of the top game reserves in Africa. Roger De la Harpe has spent months following and photographing the various families and species of cat to be found there, from the magnificent social lion and solitary but deadly leopard, to the fleet-footed cheetah. Roger's love of these wild cats comes through in the stunning photography, and in the chatty and very informative text, which details Mala Mala's hunting and conservation background in the lowveld, and provides a fascinating look at African folklore surrounding the cats. Also included is a profile of each species as well as some very interesting points on some of the individuals and families he photographed at Mala Mala. This book will appeal to anyone with a passing interest in wildlife, particularly those interested in African cats, both local and tourist alike. Definitely not your average pretty picture book -- there are shots that have to be seen to be believed. A lion cub eating a buffalo from the inside, cheetah attacking a full grown hyena and lots more besides!</p>

A nation with eleven official languages, innumerable cultural influences -- from the anakwetha to the Zulu dancer, and nine provinces that cover no less than seven separate vegetation biomes, South Africa boasts a complexity of geology, climate, culture and biodiversity shared by no other country in the world. This remarkable portfolio of images reflects the many extraordinary faces of this land of contrasts: from the Cape's famous landmark of Table Mountain, along the flower routes of the West Coast into the semi-desert reaches of the Kalahari and the Northern Cape to the rich cultural heritage that seems to permeate every corner -- from the traditional homesteads of the Wild Coast and battlefields of the Drakensberg foothills, to the farmland of the Free State and the great cities of Gauteng. The book traces the vast and complicated heritage of indigenous people and settlers, and the places -- flora and fauna, beaches and mountains, deserts and rainforests -- that make up this land of exceptional contrasts.

Few experiences in life can match those of observing wildlife in its natural environment, and even fewer can match the enchanting sight of the birth of a new generation of animals, as they tentatively take their first steps into a brand new world. The De la Harpe and Dennis teams have spent years photographing wildlife, and here they offer a close-up view of the new-born, showing a wide variety of young African wildlife -- from a newly born buffalo and just-hatched crocodiles, to endearing elephant calves and cute wild dog pups -- and their interplay with parents and siblings. With over 100 photographs and a short but concise text filled with fascinating facts, this book is a must for nature-lovers of any age.

Managing events is both an art and a science. Events managers need to understand and fully embrace the multi-dimensional nature of events management, and cultivate the leadership skills and attitudes in themselves and those they manage. The importance of successfully staging events has increased around the world, as more government agencies begin to realise the potential benefit of using events as strategic development tools. This third edition provides a definitive grounding in the development and management of small to large scale events. The book provides an introduction to events management, then goes on to examine the design, administration and marketing of events, as well as the operational and risk management aspects. It also deals with applied events management through a number of event genre types.

<p>The sixteen short stories collected here were written between 1891 and 1917 by the Bengali poet, writer, painter, musician and mystic, Sir Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941). Throughout these stories, Tagore's main interest is people and the kaleidoscope of human emotions, as men and women struggle with the restrictions and prohibitions of contemporary Hindu society.</p>
