The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

Essence of a Land - South Africa and its World Heritage Sites by Tim Hauf.

Essence of a Land tells the previously untold stories with astounding photos of Vrederfort Dome, the Cradle of Humankind, the uKhahlamba / Drakensberg National Park, the Cape Floral Kingdom, Mapungubwe Cultural Landscape, Greater St Lucia Wetland Park and Robben Island. This book is highly readable and informative, yet visually attractive. It is the first on South Africa’s seven World Heritage sites.
