Author Description

Tahiti... the very name conjures up images of dazzling white sands cooled by fresh tropical breezes, of rainbow-coloured fish darting about in crystal clear waters, of dramatic volcanic peaks rearing up from jungles of exotic flowers and ferns. Tahiti, which is all this and more, is but one part of the vast island chain of French Polynesia, comprising the Windward Islands, Leeward Islands, Gambier Islands, Tuamotus, Marqueseas and Australs. Lavishly illustrated with over 300 full-colour photographs, this book takes you on an exciting journey through this remarkable of the world.
