Description: Journey to one of the world's most remote and remarkable nations, a constellation of coral atolls scattered across the equator and the international date line. From ancient Gilbertese society and the upheavals of colonization, phosphate mining, and World War II to the hard-won republic that stands today, this book traces Kiribati's improbable story with clarity and depth. Later chapters explore the fragile science of atoll life, the vibrant culture rooted in coral and sea, and what it means to visit a country living quite literally on the edge of tomorrow. An illuminating portrait of a place where geography, history, and survival intersect in ways found nowhere else on Earth.
