What to read after Geology off the Beaten Track?

Geology off the beaten track follows on the success of author Nick Norman’s earlier Geological Journeys (co-authored with Gavin Whitfi eld), which has sold more than 20 000 copies in the last 6 years. This new book helps readers understand and interpret the geology along SA’s regional and other less-travelled roads. ● It features 13 detailed routes across the country, taking in geologically interesting areas such as the Richtersveld, Cape winelands and the Valley of Desolation near Graaff-Reinet. ● The text is richly illustrated with photos and explanatory diagrams, making it suitable for armchair travellers too. ● Maps for all the routes indicate key geosites, with GPS readings to pinpoint their location. This is a must-have handbook for travellers in the region, or for anyone wanting to know more about our rocks and landforms.
