' "It took five years before I was reasonably satisfied with the completeness of my collection and the standard of my photographs", writes Frank Rousseau in the introduction to this magnificent book. 

It can truly be said that there never will be another book like this one. Some species have already become extinct, others are doomed to extinction and all are fated to become more rare. Frank Rousseau was only just in time when he set out to make a complete photographic record of the South African Proteaceae.

Not all Proteacea are shown in this book, there are nearly 400 distinct species in southern Africa - but the work is representative of the full range, and the brilliant and dramatic photographs have been reproduced throughout in full colour.' - editor's note
