About This Book

A concise geographical and historical survey of a triangular territory on Africa's southwestern coast, outlining the coastal Namib desert, interior plateau and mountain systems, and eastward plains. It discusses climate, rainfall, native flora and fauna, and the pattern of human settlement and development from early exploration through later colonial administration. The volume describes mineral and agricultural resources, including diamond-bearing areas, and evaluates economic prospects and infrastructure possibilities. Chapters combine physical description, natural history, historical narrative, and practical commentary to present the region's resources and potential for future development.
