Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Southern African birdfinder - where to find over 1400 bird species from South Africa to Zambia, is the essential companion to all local bird field guides.
It fills a gap in the market for a guide to the region's top birding spots and to finding southern Africa and Madagascar's most desirable birds. After an introduction to birding in the region, the authors outline and describe 39 key bird routes and more than 330 birding sites across South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Madagascar and the little-documented but increasingly popular areas of Angola, Mozambique, Zambia and Malawi.
Sites include practical details of access, best times to visit, habitat diversity and the birds that occur in it, and general natural history; the more important sites feature a detailed map.
Before his untimely death from typhoid, William Spottiswoode
(1825-83) had served as president of the London Mathematical
Society, the British Association, and the Royal Society. In
addition to publishing widely in mathematics and the experimental
physical sciences, he restored the fortunes of his family printing
firm, Eyre and Spottiswoode, the Queen's printers. An enthusiast
for the popularisation of science, he lectured to large audiences
at the Royal Institution, the South Kensington College of Science,
and at British Association meetings. He also gave scientific talks
at the school set up for the employees of his family firm. This
illustrated 1874 work is based on these talks, and provides an
introduction to 'this beautiful branch of optics'. Spottiswoode
covers methods of polarisation, and the contemporary theory
accounting for these effects. He describes various experiments, and
explains how polarisation causes patterns and colours to appear in
light.
