Book Description

Publication Date: June 1974

Glistening bays, tucked away like jewels along the coral-bounded coast--vine-entangled ruins of man's experiments with nature--a rugged land and the all-embracing sea, rampant with life; here is a world where one can feel an overwhelming sense of the timelessness of nature and man's place within it.
