Time & Tide: The Islands of Tuvalu

time & tide: the islands of tuvalu

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

Tuvalu is a Pacific nation of low lying coral atolls and islands whose existence is threatened by climate change and rising sea levels. This large format, softcover, full-colour photographic essay will show the world what will surely be lost as sea levels rise: a unique culture and environment irrevocably erased. This moody and evocative portrait of the tiny island nation is a foray into previously undocumented territory - it is the kind of venture Lonely Planet has pioneered. Photographed by Peter Bennetts with text and interviews by Tony Wheeler, Time & Tide is a serenely beautiful and poignant story of our times.

more than 120 beautiful photographs
eleven individual profiles of Tuvaluan people from all walks of life
extensive coverage of the history, people, culture and daily life of the nine atolls that make up the nation of Tuvalu

From the Publisher
More than a portrait of a nation in crisis or a cultural document, this book articulates the flourishing optimism of a people.
