Second Edition!
Includes a new chapter
on Hurricane Ivan.
Legend has it that pirates hid their spoils beneath the soft, pure sand and in the craggy, mysterious caves of the Cayman Islands. Indeed, we did uncover treasure there --Cayman's abundant natural beauty and its people's warmth and strength of character. Once an idyllic paradise featuring the calm clarity of the turquoise Caribbean waters and the brilliant sea life teeming below, the gentle pastels of traditional island homes and the vivid hues of a tropical sunset, bustling George Town, romantic Seven Mile Beach and the sleepy Sister Islands, Cayman has recently experienced severe, and catastrophic, change.
2004 will forever be remembered as the Year of Ivan. Hurricane Ivan decimated this magical trio of islands like nothing else since the infamous Storm of 1932. In this updated edition of the now classic CAYMAN: A Photographic Journey Through the Islands, readers can experience the traditional Cayman of years past, as well as witness the remarkable resiliency of its people as recovery efforts rebuild hope as well as homes.
Compelling photographs and candid interviews detail how the storm has reshaped the landscape and reveal exactly what it means to live life Cayman style, even in the face of disaster.
"As spectacular as it is informative...a winning tour of the trio of islands."

"...bright images and lively text that capture and hold the reader's imagination."
