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
