Cape Town

Front Cover
Gareth Stevens Publishing LLLP, 2005 - 48 pages
Close to the southern tip of the African continent, Cape Town enjoys spectacular natural beauty. Its multiethnic population gives rich variety to its street life and has earned it the nickname the rainbow city. Having survived the agony of apartheid, Cape Town still struggles with contrasts of wealth and extreme poverty from elegant suburbs to squalid shantytowns. Great Cities of the World explores what makes Cape Town a lively city and South Africa's most popular tourist attraction. Book jacket.

About the author (2005)

Andrew Langley was born in 1949 in Britain. He has dedicated his career to penning educational books that meet the needs of young readers. Langley's first books were primarily straightforward works designed to explain day-to-day facts; in his "Behind the Scenes" series, for example, he explores what goes on at various familiar locations, such as a hotel and police station. As his career has progressed, Langley has increasingly focused on the subject that most interests him - history. He has produced biographies of a broad range of people from history as well as historic overviews such as The Roman News, Medieval Life, Renaissance, and Ancient Egypt.
