Get bushwise -- A desert Safari takes young readers on a journey of
discovery through the deserts of southern Africa. Our San guide is
Xau, who has lived in the desert all his life, and tells readers
about the need to live in harmony with nature, and about some of
the more extraordinary features of his arid land. He tells of how
the San survive and thrive in the desert; how they find basic
supplies in nature and get water from plants; how San children
play, and how they can find direction using the stars. Readers
learn about the different types of desert, about moving dunes and
the amazing plants and trees that manage to survive in the sand and
amongst the rocks; also about a host of creatures, big and small,
that have made their home in the desert: dancing lizards and
rolling spiders, the world's fastest beetle, the timid aardwolf -
and that the sand beneath our feet is alive with life. This title
offers a fascinating look at one of the Earth's most interesting
habitats and the plants and creatures that make it their home.
