Spiderwatch

Johannesburg is severely underrated as a tourist destination. This could be because it has no beaches, no snow-capped mountains, and no ancient buildings. But Johannesburg has something else - it is a cultural and industrial centre, with an enormous array of entertainment events running day and night. Johannesburg is also the scene of the fall of the abominable Apartheid system. So Johannesburg is not only a cultural centre, but it is also politically one of the most significant cities in Africa, and the most economically powerful. Furthermore, the human race evolved in the Johannesburg area. So there are many reasons to visit. This book gives an introduction to South Africa and Johannesburg in particular. It covers all the things to see and visit in Johannesburg and its surrounds. It provides addresses, phone numbers and GPS coordinates of each tourist attraction, so that you can find them easily.

Identification and information on Australian spiders. 176 p.

This guide provides an insight into the complex, often mysterious and always fascinating world of spiders. The reader is introduced to the subject by informative features on the origin of these arachnids, on their bewildering variety, their classification into families and genera, and on their invertebrate relatives. The five chapters that follow cover the physical and behavioural characteristics of spiders, the main groups (hunters, trappers, ambushers, weavers, and so on) and dangerous species. A chapter on finding and studying spiders follows this and, finally, a selection of species accounts entitled What Spider is That?
