Publisher's Synopsis
This book helps readers understand and interpret the geology along South Africa's regional and other less-travelled roads. Featuring 13 detailed routes across the country, it takes in geologically interesting areas such as the Richtersveld, Cape winelands and the Valley of Desolation near Graaff-Reinet. The text is richly illustrated with photos and diagrams, making it suitable for armchair travellers too. Maps for all the routes indicate key geosites, with GPS readings to pinpoint their location. A must-have handbook for travellers in the region, or for anyone wanting to know more about our rocks and landforms.
