Geology off the Beaten Track

About the book

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.
