Description:

Mention Namibia to anyone and a rather standard set of images will probably be conjured up; in all likelihood dominated by desert sand dunes, dead trees in stark solitude beside ancient barren salt pans, and perhaps the haunting remains of an old 'ghost' mining house surrounded by ... yes, more dunes. In hosting the world's oldest and most strikingly beautiful of all deserts (the Namib) and possessing a topography that is mostly dry and arid, Namibia is a classic example of a country that is far greater than the sum of its parts. The full Namibian experience that this book portrays can only be appreciated with time spent travelling the country. The images, representative for each region, provide an evocative and colourful portrayal of Namibia's myriad wonders and attractions: its astonishing variety of landscape, magnificent diversity of fauna and flora as well as the rich and varied cultural heritage of the people that inhabit this amazing country.
