 Barbados
a World Apart by Roger A Labrucherie
Barbados,
A World Apart is a photographic-essay coffee-table book about
the island of Barbados. It covers, in photographs, paintings,
maps, and text Barbados's history, culture, people, flora, fauna,
geography, and scenery.
"This
stunning book reflects pure professionalism and attention to detail
as well as a love and devotion to the island and people of Barbados.
The more than 155 photographs are simply magnificent. There are
aerial shots of pristine, remote regions of the island and startling
close-ups of both plants and wildlife. Then there are the photos
of the bustling, tiny "metropolis" of Bridgetown, and,
of course, the gorgeous tourist resorts. Last but not least are
the stars of the book -- the people of Barbados, in their great
variety of personality, background, and station in life. An added
feature is a substantial amount of historical material that accompanies
the photos, thereby providing virtually two books in one. Certainly
this work is both an enticement to visit Barbados and a happy
reminder of past visits." -- Anonymous Review (Amazon.com)
