About This Item
(Newton Abbot: David & Charles, 1972) 0715357131. 8vo; original pale blue boards, lettered in gilt on spine; tinted top edge; price-clipped pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 200, incl. index; plates; maps. A little minor spotting. Very good condition. "The pattern of life led today, apart from education and public services and communication with the outside world, has not appreciably changed: inter-island travel for instance is, for the most part, a simple affair in small boats. This simplicity, the beautiful scenery, coupled with the rich, tropical plant and animal life make the islands an unspoiled haven for visitors; their geology, botany and zoology alone have attracted scientists for the last hundred years. As a result there is much scientific literature on the Seychelles but scarcely any works of history or general reference - a gap in island lore that this book fills." .
