The is the first photographic field guide to be published about South Africa that covers a cross-section of the most prominent animals, plants, birds, insects and tracks and signs of the Bushveld

It includes a detailed natural history section for a greater understanding of the people, geology, habitats and ecology of the Waterberg. The history of the people is divided into two fascinating accounts, one on the indigenous people of the area and one personal account of the early settler history as told by Lex Rodger, a Waterberg resident of 90 years. This book negates the need to carry more than one guidebook when travelling to the Waterberg or any South African Bushveld region. In writing this comprehensive account Lee has availed himself to the kind services of many experts who have read and checked facts on their individual areas of expertise. Some of these include; Vincent Carruthers (amphibians), Louis du Preez (amphibian images), Jonathan Leeming (scorpions and spiders), Louis Liebenberg (tracking illustrations), Hendri Coetzee (birds), Paul van Gaalen (bird images), Harold Braak (reptiles), Johan Marais (reptile images) and Frits van Oudtshoorn (grasses).
