Kalahari Sand

Frank Debenham
Published by G. Bell, London, 1953
"This book is a light-hearted account of two journeys in that strange, dry area, so often mis-called the Kalahari Desert, which occupies most of the Bechuanaland Protectorate in southern Africa. The author's primary concern in going there was to assess the water resources of the country, but he found that such a mission led him to study everything that depends on water - the people, the animals, the birds, and the plant life. The weird and even grotesque plants, the manners of the only real inhabitants - the little yellow Bushmen - and the excitements of big game all come into the picture, as also does Laurens van der Post, author of Venture to the Interior, who organized and managed the second expedition.".
