Synopsis To the Fairest Cape by : Malcolm Jack
Crossing the remote, southern tip of Africa has fired the imagination of European travellers from the time Bartholomew Dias opened up the passage to the East by rounding the Cape of Good Hope in 1488. Dutch, British, French, Danes, and Swedes formed an endless stream of seafarers who made the long journey southwards in pursuit of wealth, adventure, science, and missionary, as well as outright national, interest. Beginning by considering the early hunter-gatherer inhabitants of the Cape and their culture, Malcolm Jack focuses in his account on the encounter that the European visitors had with the Khoisan peoples, sometimes sympathetic but often exploitative from the time of the Portuguese to the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in 1833. This commercial and colonial background is key to understanding the development of the vibrant city that is modern Cape Town, as well as the rich diversity of the Cape hinterland. Published by Bucknell University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.

Synopsis The Fairest Cape in All the World by : Layton Alldredge
When the Himalayas and the Rockies were mere foothills, Table Mountain looked down in lofty majesty on a world we cannot comprehend. From its rocky viewpoint it gazed down on prehistoric animals whose descendants still roam much of Africa. It watched the wanderings of Australopithicus and Homo habilis. It stood silently as the San people and the related Khoikhoi hunted and eventually domesticated livestock to become hunter/herders. It watched as the sails of early Portuguese navigators appeared above the horizon, to be followed by Dutch, French and English. It was impassive when Francis Drake dubbed it "the fairest cape in all the world". It watched the Trek-boers leave and the arrival of the Nguni and the Sotho. It has looked down without judgement on Jan van Riebeeck's fort, Nelson Mandela's imprisonment on Robben Island and Christiaan Barnard's historic heart transplant. Ahh, the stories it could tell if it could only talk.
