520    "South Africa has been described as "A World in One 
       Country" and a "Rainbow Nation." Its landscape ranges from
       miles of glorious beaches to the inland desert of the 
       Karoo, the sweeping grasslands of the Highveld plateau, 
       and the subtropical bush of the Lowveld. Its ethnic makeup
       is equally varied. There are eleven official languages, 
       nine major black African tribes, two major white tribes, 
       as well as a representation of all the world's major 
       religions. It has a free market economy while communists 
       share in government; one of the world's most liberal 
       constitutions and a deeply patriarchal society; and very 
       rich and very poor people coexisting. South Africa has 
       come through fire, and although there is still 
       considerable heat, it is doing pretty well. This insiders'
       guide will introduce you to the universal warmth and 
       cultural diversity of its people, explain the backdrop of 
       their troubled past, and familiarize you with their 
       everyday life so that you'll feel comfortable whether 
       you're invited to a shack in the townships, a mansion in 
       the suburbs, or a braai on the beach. You'll learn how to 
       stay safe in potentially dangerous areas, and you'll know 
       where to go if you want to feel like the only person on 
       the planet."--Publisher's description.
