South Africa is a land of many different cultures and diverse values - a mix that is at once the root of its many challenges and the bud of its great potential. But on one thing there is general accord: this is a beautiful land, and the traveller is faced with an almost unlimited choice of what to see and do. The canvas is kaleidoscopic; variety and contrast are vividly evident in the astonishing mix of race and language, creed, colour and culture. The diversity is there, too, in the nature of the land; in its geological formations and regional climates; its mountains, plains and coasts; its rich farmlands; and its bushveld scrub and deserts. South Africa is, truly, a world in one country. Packed with over 500 stunning photographs, Discover South Africa introduces the reader to the country's fascinating history, people and cultures, and the breathtaking splendours of a wildlife and floral abundance that is unparalleled anywhere in the world. Peter Joyce's text and captions are an ideal companion to the photographs. Detailed, revealing and eminently readable, they provide a wealth of information about, and insight into, South Africa.

Peter Joyce is the author of more than 30 travel and leisure titles on southern Africa, including Beautiful South Africa, This is Botswana and This is Namibia, published by Random House Struik. Complementing the text is a vivid mix of archival and contemporary photographs, many taken by South Africa's top travel photographers, including Shaen Adey, Jean du Plessis, Roger de la Harpe, Nigel Dennis, Walter Knirr and Peter Pickford.
