Review
This is the definitive, comprehensive book on the islands of the South Pacific. It covers islands from Tahiti and Raiatea to the Marquesas, Pitcairn and Easter Islands to Niue, Tonga, and Vanuatu-- it's worth reading just for the fun with vowels. Of course, if you're planning a trip to the South Pacific, it's indispensable. For each island, David Stanley provides geography, geology, zoology, anthropology, history, and assorted details such as how to get there, what to eat, and where to stay. This comprehensive opus is geared toward the budget traveler.
