Time & Tide Islands of Tuvalu 1e

Tuvalu is a Pacific nation of low lying coral atolls and islands whose existence is threatened by climate change and rising sea levels.

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
