Very good condition."In many ways the Transvaal is a microcosm of the southern African subcontinent, positioned astride the Tropic of Capricorn and at the junction between the tropical savannas and the temperate grasslands, fringed on the west by the arid, flat Kalahari and cleaved in the east by the wet, mountainous, forested Drakensberg escarpment. Because of this rich array of habitats, a rich diversity of birds of prey is to be found in the Transvaal; no less than 62 different species have been recorded here. A growing awareness that many of these have become scarce in recent times, not only in the Transvaal but throughout southern Africa, prompted the Transvaal Division of Nature Conservation to undertake a survey, the primary aim of which was to assess each species'present and past status."

Good."Originally published as part of the Ethnographic Survey of Africa by the International African Institute, this study of the Tswana, now in its seventh reprint, has proved one of the most respected and popular in the series. Succinctly written, it is a thorough study of a major division of the Sotho group of the Bantu-speaking peoples of Southern Africa. The Tswana, whose main homeland is Botswana, have been much written about in the twentieth century; this study, together with Professor Schapera's other writings on the Tswana, forms a very significant section of our knowledge and understanding of an important group. Continually referred to by other leading anthropologists, it remains a classic."

Oliver Tambo was a prominent member of that Youth League, but his most important role was still to come. In 1960, the South African Government banned the ANC. Tambo was appointed to continue the ANC's fight - from outside the country. During this time, he helped strengthen the ANC's organisation and assisted in establishing underground structures inside the country. He brought the struggle for liberation in South Africa to the attention of the rest of the world and, in doing so, won the admiration and the support of all those with whom he made contact. Thirty years later, Tambo returned to his motherland and handed the ANC back to the people, intact and triumphant. They Fought for Freedom tells the life stories of southern African leaders who struggled for freedom and justice. In spite of the important roles they played in the history of southern Africa, most of these leaders have been largely ignored by the history books. The series tells their stories in an entertaining manner, in clear language and aims to restore them to their rightful place in history.
