Product Description

From the rainforests, waterfalls and hundreds of rivers and streams, to the blue Caribbean Sea, Dominica is truly a land of water. In this amazing photographic exploration of Dominica, author Jonathan Bird takes readers on a journey from the cloudy mountain peaks at almost 5,000 feet to the depths of the blue ocean just offshore. The Commonwealth of Dominica (not to be confused with the Dominican Republic) is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled islands in the Caribbean. Bird, though a native of the United States, considers Dominica his second home and has traveled to Dominica dozens of times to photograph the stunning scenery above and below the waves.

A gem, like the island it honors
This is a great book for: 1. Anyone who loves great photography 2. Anyone interested in seeing or visiting one of the most beautiful, unspoiled islands in the Caribbean and 3. Divers and snorkellers.
Jon Bird shares his stunning photographs taken above and below the sea on this little-travelled jewel in the Caribbean. Having been there a few times myself, I was still amazed by the breadth of ocean wildlife shown in the book.
If you can't go to Dominica yourself (an experience I highly recommend as well), check this book out to see land and sea scapes you won't find anywhere else in the Caribbean.

Dominica: Land of Water
I thought this book was fantastic. It is concise, well illustrated, and accurate. Anyone buying this book will have to travel to the island to see the wonderful sites for themselves. I think this is the best single photographic guide to Dominica. MG
