'The idea for this popular yet definitive book about the Bushmen was first conceived some seven years before its final publication. Twelve scientists and researchers from many parts of the world - from Canada to Botswana, from Texas to Australia - each an expert in his field, have contributed to this lavishly illustrated volume, and the result is a readable work about a fascinating people. It is probably the most comprehensive book yet written about them.
"The Bushmen," writes the distinguished scientist Professor Raymond Dart in his Foreword, presents a "glamorous...overview of the Bushmen; who they still are and were; and what their significance has been from their most remotely known past until today; their colourful mural art and their differing languages; their scientific knowledge, as well as their beliefs, myths and folklore; the variant environments they have mastered and the racial contacts they have survived; their position in the world of today and their potential future."
In addition, more than two hundred photographs and diagrams, painstakingly gathered over the course of many years, have been assembled here to present what is undoubtedly the most complete pictorial record of the Bushmen ever seen in one volume."
