Description:

This all-in-one interpretative guide to the Lowveld in South Africa teaches people how to observe, identify and interpret what they see in the bush in a meaningful way, without having to wade through the reams of technical information found in most other field guides. The reader-friendly mind-map layout of the book, with pictures linked to brief but informative text boxes, makes pertinent information accessible at a glance. Game Ranger in Your Backpack is packed with practical, interpretative information on the most commonly encountered animals and plants of the Lowveld, information that is usually only available if you have a game ranger or field guide by your side in the bush. Author Megan Emmett has had broad exposure to numerous different parts of South Africa through her studies and profession and has travelled extensively within southern Africa. She recently founded the wildlife edu-tainment company African Resource. Photographer Sean Pattrick travels extensively to international destinations and leads unique safaris for Clearly Africa to some of the most pristine wilderness areas in Africa.
