WILD HERITAGE is a book that features the superlative Natural Heritage Sites and other wild places in KwaZulu-Natal. A magnificent showcase, it reflects Africa’s poignant moods and wild beauty, its animal and plant diversity, its indigenous cultures and its natural abundance and generosity despite the pressures and assaults it suffers at the hands of people.
The authors and publishers are KwaZulu-Natal-based photographers Philip and Ingrid van den Berg, together with Heinrich van den Berg. They are well known internationally for their superb wildlife photography and this is their seventh coffee-table book. WILD HERITAGE measures 300 x 230mm, contains 208 full-colour pages printed on 130gsm matt paper, in hard cover bound with fine cloth, with a pictorial matt-laminated dust jacket. The book will be ready by November 2006.
Nobody who loves wild Africa, the serenity of the high Drakensberg peaks, the green hills of the midlands, the excitement of bushveld wildlife, the enchantment of the St Lucia Wetlands and the magical marine world, should be without this book.
