A dramatic rescue operation on the Skeleton Coast, nifty diamond smuggling in a brothel and a capricious tower built against the backdrop of the Tiras Mountains ... The third volume in the Gondwana History series promises entertaining and exciting reading for Namibians as well as for anyone interested in Namibia.

In this volume you will become acquainted with some silent heroes of Namibia’s history: the "guardian angel" of the Wild Horses of the Namib, the first European to summit the Brandberg, the discoverer of the White Lady and other well-known figures such as the founder of Windhoek and Swakopmund, Curt von François. 

The 30 tales, in random order, are self-contained and illustrate various facets of Namibia’s rich history, culture and natural environment on 130 pages. The book also contains many pictures. 

Gondwana History III is available at the Gondwana lodges and in bookshops - in English, Afrikaans and German. The book can also be ordered from Demasius Publications, Namibia Scientific Society and Namibia Book Marketing. The German edition can be ordered from Klaus Hess Verlag in Germany as well.
