Dr Jack’s Third Illustrated<br />
South African Byrd Book<br />
This humorous book follows the earlier successful<br />
publication of two similar books by Dr Jack. Picture<br />
driven, it features a collection of cartoons that<br />
lampoon birds on the basis of their common names.<br />
The author draws on some existing material, but<br />
also turns to the renaming of a number of southern<br />
African birds for fresh inspiration. The book is targeted<br />
specifically at South African twitchers, as well as more<br />
relaxed bird watchers and nature lovers in general – the perfect affordable gift<br />
for the birder who already has everything else. Author: Dr Jack. Published by<br />
Penguin Random House. Price R120.00.<br />
Guide to Birds of the Kruger National Park<br />
The Kruger National Park, one of the largest and bestknown<br />
conservation areas in the world, supports<br />
a remarkable diversity of birds. This attractive and<br />
handy field guide lists more than 500 species that<br />
have been recorded here, and provides full-colour<br />
photographs, detailed distribution maps and succinct<br />
information on 400 of these – all the species that a<br />
visitor is likely to encounter in the park. An informative<br />
introduction describes the park’s underlying geology,<br />
vegetation types, climate and rainfall, and how these<br />
dictate bird distributions within the area. Authors: Warwick Tarboton & Peter<br />
Ryan. Published by Penguin Random House. Price R250.00.<br />
Hidden Johannesburg<br />
A fabulous new book by a leading South African<br />
photographer, Paul Duncan, and picturing the<br />
hidden treasures of Johannesburg, once a rowdy<br />
mining town and now the most important<br />
commercial centre in Africa, is now available.<br />
The book provides a fascinating peek into the<br />
past (as well as what remains in the present),<br />
looking at the homes of past mining barons,<br />
the Jewish culture of the city, the colonial era, clubs and churches, the city’s<br />
architecture, its contemporary steel and glass era, hidden treasures such<br />
as the original boarded-up Johannesburg railway station, and much more.<br />
Hidden Johannesburg reveals fragments of the varied history of this vibrant<br />
city, and how it has changed over the past century. It is a must-have for any<br />
serious heritage traveller, as well as anybody who simply wishes to learn more<br />
about one of Africa’s most dynamic cities. Author/photographer: Paul Duncan.<br />
