Du Plessis N M. THE TYGERBERG. The Story of the Tygerberg Hills and the Towns of Parow, Bellville, and Durbanville. Cape Town: Tafelberg, 1998. First edition. In order to illustrate the full story of the origin of the Tygerberg Hills, the authors go back to a remote past - in fact to a thousand million years ago. The focus is on the Tygerberg Hills and the three adjacent urban areas of Parow, Bellville, and Durbanville. The first chapter sketches the forces and processes that shaped the region physically. The next three chapters are concerned with man in the environs of the Tygerberg, while chapters 5, 6 and 7 discuss the soils, agriculture and the rich natural heritage of the region. In the final chapter ways of reconciling land claims are suggested. New in No jacket as issued. dust-jacket. Pictorial Laminated Boards.
