Mr Bennetts and Mr Wheeler chronicle the unique world of island life with a gentle touch of objectivity whilst acknowledging the charm of 'place' and the potential of subjective reaction by a reader. This book is a beautiful reminder that there are places other than your workstation -bigger skies than the ceiling grid and underfoot textures more surreal than nylon carpet. ENJOY!

beautiful photographic documentation of a nation that may soon be lost to global warming. an intimate portrait of a country and its people, culture and spirit.

I have always been fascinated by faraway & isolated countries like Tuvalu, I have travelled a lot and i have been to the Pacific in two occasions and it is the area in the world that i like the most and this book definitely makes me enter the everyday life of this tiny in land size but beautiful country. Photos are simple & beautiful and the book is not only aimed at global warming problems. as i said most of the photos in the book are about the people and life of tuvaluans. the only thing i didn't like in the book is that the explanation of photos is at the end of the book so if you want to know where a photo has been taken or what it is about you have to go at the end of the book and check. Other than that very nice book!!!
