Fungi Of Kloofendal Nature Reserve by Willem Maritz
With stunning photographs, detailed descriptions, and fascinating information; this guide is an indispensable tool for identifying fungi found in and around Kloofendal Nature Reserve. The mushrooms are categorised according to their respective types, making it easy to use and learn about the various species, even for the novice fungi finder.
Willem is an amateur mycologist with a love and passion for the natural world. His fascination with fungi started from a young age and was founded in the immense diversity, complexity, and sheer magic of mushrooms; which grew through immersing himself in diverse habitats in search of these mysterious and illusive wonders. He is a guide at Kloofendal Nature Reserve.
Essential Scorpion Sting First Response
This book offers a new and innovative first response framework that is based upon the latest science, is easy to understand and put into practice. It answers two very important questions:
- How can you reduce the chance of being stung by a scorpion.
- If a sting does occur, how can you ensure the best possible outcome for stings in humans and animals?
This book will be of particular value to anyone living in a high risk area, pet owners, wildlife rehabilitation centres and volunteers and anyone who may care for an animal that has been stung by a scorpion. It is of particular interest to medical professionals and veterinarians as it offers an understanding of scorpions that compliments their medical training.
Jonathan is Southern Africa’s leading authority on spider bite and scorpion sting first response. He is a best selling author, international speaker and award winning conservationist. His work has defined a generation, and has shaped our current understanding of scorpions and scorpion stings across Southern Africa. He is a guide at Kloofendal Nature Reserve.
Both books will be on sale and available for signing during the event.
