With essays and photographs by some of the world’s most qualified and sophisticated travel journalists and photographers, this book offers a unique perspective for travelers everywhere by introducing far-off destinations that are not necessarily on the more familiar tourist itineraries. Islands includes useful maps and website information, making this an indispensable reference as well as a sumptuous book for the armchair traveler.
