Description

The link between people and nature is explored in this fascinating book, revealing how plants, animals, and landscapes are profoundly reflected in South Africa's Xhosa language, stories, poetry, religious rituals, healing practices, and everyday customs.

While the South African landscape has for centuries been molded and manipulated by humans, the country and its plants and animals have in turn influenced South Africans' cultural and spiritual development.

Based on 10 years of research, it consists of unique photographs that portray how both contemporary rural and urban South Africans still find great value in nature.

A fresh, positive approach to biodiversity conservation, this volume serves as a guide to sustainable practices in the future.
