Description du livre Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 160 pages. Cover worn.Tuvalu is a Pacific nation of low lying coral atolls and islands whose existence is threatened by climat e change and rising sea levels. This large format, softcover, ful l-colour photographic essay will show the world what will surely be lost as sea levels rise: a unique culture and environment irre vocably erased. This moody and evocative portrait of the tiny isl and 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 profile s 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 Editorial Reviews From the Publisher More than a portrait of a nation in crisis or a cultura l document, this book articulates the flourishing optimism of a p eople. About the Author It was Tuvalu's altitude - or rather its distinct lack of altitude - which first brought internationally- acclaimed photographer Peter Bennetts to this scattering of islan ds. Bennetts has a keen interest in environmental issues and ther e is no doubt that Tuvalu is on the climate-change front line. Hi s regular visits to Tuvalu led to contact with Prime Minister Ion atana Ionatana. Together they came up with the idea of producing a book about Tuvalu, something which could help to focus attentio n both on the island nation's story and its troubling challenges.
