The Bushmen, San Hunters and Herders of Southern Africa, Human & Rousseau, forward by Raymond A. Dart, glossary, classified bibliography, professional details on contributors to the book, index, profusely illustrated with photographs and diagrams ( over 200), sketches, maps and rock paintings.

The idea for this popular yet definitive book about the Bushmen was first conceived some seven years before its final publication. Twelve scientists and researchers from many parts of the world from Canada to Botswana from Texas to Australia each an expert in his field have contributed to this lavishly illustrated volume and the result is a readable work about a fascinating people. It is probably the most comprehensive book yet written about them. (from the dust-jacket).
