4.0 out of 5 stars
Pleasant "souvenir" book on Hawaii..., June 29, 2008
This review is from: Hawaii's Natural Wonders (Paperback)
This slightly oversized book (10.9 x 8.2) is a quick and concise overview of Hawaii's "natural wonders", arranged into chapters:
- volcanoes
- landforms
- islands and oceans
- rain forests and vegetation
- waterfalls, rivers, and streams
- rocky coasts and beaches
- sunrise and sunset
The photographs are by Douglas Peebles, with the accompanying text written by Jan Tenbruggencate, a former science writer for the Honolulu Advertiser.
The photos are fabulous, but limited, as you might expect in an 80 page publication. This is really suited as a souvenir book of a Hawaii experience, or a book to wet an future traveler's appetite.
It's not really a hardback book, but rather a "stiff cover" book.
The text and photos complement each other well. However, there are probably better "picture books" for the money.
