About This Item

(Cape Town: Tafelberg, 1974) 0624005771. 8vo; original navy blue boards, with white lettering to spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. (x) + 131; maps; plates. Dustwrapper somewhat edgeworn, with tear to top edge of lower panel (closed on reverse side with archival tape); slight bump to top fore-corners; slight stain to bottom edges of boards and pastedowns; some minor spotting. Good. Afrikaans text. "Al Venter en sy medewerkers neem die leser saam op 'n verkenningstog deur hierdie onderwaterwêreld wat hulle deeglik leer ken en bestudeer het. Hy self skryf oor wrakke by die Seychelle-eilande, eeue gelede die skuilhoek van Oos-Indiëvaarders en -kapers, en dié in die skaduwee van Mombassa se 500 jaar oue Portugese Fort Jesus, Oos-Afrika se seeparke en die gevare wat elke duiker moet vermy. Wyle prof. J. L. B. Smith, die man wat 'n lewende selakant opgespoor het ..., se dramatiese ondervinding met die gevreesde duiwelvis is opgeneem, en Margaret Smith vertel van hul soektog na die broeiplek van die selakant. George Hughes, jare lank reeds 'n gesaghebbende oor die vriendelike, dog ietwat ontwykende groenseeskilpad, skilder die merkwaardige lewensloop en gewoontes van hierdie dier. Lallie Lee Didham, internasionaal befaamde skulpkundige, beskryf die meer eksotiese seeskulpe in dié warm oseaan, terwyl Gary Haselau, eertydse kameraman van die Jacques Ives Cousteau-televisiespan, vertel van die vriendelike dolfyn wat dikwels 'n bondgenoot is in 'n domein waar die mens selde aanvaar word." .
