The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

South Africa from the Air by Herman Potgieter

South Africa is a country of many faces, many personalities, a kaleidoscopic canvas of high mountain range, grassland plain, rich farmland, desert and bushveld scrub of rugged Atlantic cost and shorelines fringed with tropical Palms of bustling high-rise metropolises and tiny remote villages that sleeps soundly in the sun. A land of quite remarkable diversity. This book enables the armchair observer to see the country from a refreshingly new angle.
