8vo; original red cloth, no dustwrapper; pp. 192 including index; frontispiece portrait, black-and-white plates. Uniform browning throughout. Very good condition. "This is an unpretentious account of a light-hearted journey across the great Thirstland of southern Africa in the winter of 1952-53. The old Boer pioneers named the area well, for hundreds of them died of thirst in the parched wilderness. Our search in the waste of the Namib Desert and Kalahari, aided by the new tools of science, was for information and underground water resources. We visualized new towns and great cattle ranches on a Texas pattern, but knew that everything has to start in a small way.".

Book
Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Poor. 1st Travel Book Club Edition. The world food situation demands the utilisation of the blank spaces on the map. This is an unpretentious account of a light-hearted journey across the great Thistland of Southern Africa in the winter of 1952-53. The old Boer pioneers named the area well for hundreds of them died of thirst in the parched wilderness. Our search in the waste of the Namib Desert and Kalahari, aided by the new tools of science, was for information and underground water resources. We visualized new towns and great cattle ranches on a Texas pattern, but knew that everything has to start in a small way. Work has already begun on a variety of projects and may, we hope, help to set a new pattern of survey, linking the theorist with the field work necessary to transform the wide open spaces. Wear and tear to D/J. Small piece of D/J missing from back.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
