Description: Scattered across a vast stretch of the South Pacific, the Tuamotu Archipelago is a world of low-lying atolls, turquoise lagoons, and resilient island communities. This sweeping portrait traces the archipelago's story from its geological origins and Polynesian settlement through the age of European contact, the rise of pearling and copra trades, and the shaping of distinctive island architecture and culture. Blending natural history, ethnography, and social change, the book offers readers a vivid journey through one of the Pacific's most remote and fascinating island groups—right up to the challenges and rhythms of life there today.
