Since 1992, All About South Africa has been the comprehensive reference book of choice for South African schoolchildren (and their parents!) when looking for information about the country. Now completely revised and updated – both in content and visual material – this new edition is sure to retain its status. A large-format book of knowledge, it is highly visual, with full-color photographs, maps and illustrations, and includes fascinating archival material. The simple and thematically presented text is both easy to read and to understand.

The book contains a total of 501 facts which make the reader wonder about our strange but truly fascinating world. The success of this book underlines the growing realisation that books now are no longer looked upon something as having necessarily a direct link to classroom and examination-and in consequence, to be shelved when the need is over. With exciting facts from different fields the book stimulates young reader's interest in the world around him-thus inspiring him to pursue knowledge purely for the sake of it. In turn it also helps to develop logical thinking and a scientific temperament.

With succinct, lively text and beautiful photographs, this book celebrates African-American culture and helps us to understand and appreciate this special holiday.

Readers are introduced to the symbols of the holiday, such as the mkeka (a special placemat), kinara (candleholder), and kikombe cha umoja (unity cup). Important concepts, like the seven principles, are explained.

Even Christmas can be weird -- it's true! Get ready to celebrate the holiday season with wacky facts, stats, tidbits, and traditions about the most wonderful time of the year.
