A first ever complete natural history of the Richtersveld. "The Richtersveld does not . reveal its secrets easily. Just as it can be cruel to the ill-prepared traveller, so it can be secretive to the uninformed eye. But if you are guided by such an expert naturalist as Graham Williamson, then you will see wonders - plants that survive the onslaught of the sun by retreating underground and exposing only the pellucid tips of their leaves; animals that have acquired the skill of swimming through the dry, swiftly-moving, silky-smooth sand as though they were in water. Guided by him, as you can be in this magnificent and comprehensive book, the Richtersveld will make a permanent imprint on your memory and affections. It certainly has done so in mine." - from the foreword by Sir David Attenborough.
