Items related to Time & Tide: The Islands of Tuvalu
Tuvalu is a Pacific nation of low lying coral atolls and islands whose existence is threatened by climate change and rising sea levels. This large format, softcover, full-colour photographic essay will show the world what will surely be lost as sea levels rise: a unique culture and environment irrevocably erased. This moody and evocative portrait of the tiny island 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 profiles 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

From the Publisher:
More than a portrait of a nation in crisis or a cultural document, this book articulates the flourishing optimism of a people.
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 islands. Bennetts has a keen interest in environmental issues and there is no doubt that Tuvalu is on the climate-change front line. His regular visits to Tuvalu led to contact with Prime Minister Ionatana Ionatana. Together they came up with the idea of producing a book about Tuvalu, something which could help to focus attention both on the island nation's story and its troubling challenges.
