Book excerpt: The very idea of life on a tropical island appeals to popular fantasy: the sea, the sky, the sand, the tranquillity, the escape-from-it-all...Mental images abound at the mere mention: white linen and straw hats; hibiscus and palm trees; languid cocktails taken on the verandah; the intensity of colours and the sound of the sea. This fantasy is reality to India Hicks, David Flint Wood and their two children. Over the past five years, India and David have impeccably restored, built or redecorated three houses and one hotel on the island. Each interior reflects India's keen sense of colour and style, inherited in part from her father, David Hicks, and influenced by her travels with David Flint Wood to India and Africa, and from the wealth of Caribbean style that surrounds them. 'Island Life' celebrates India's unique style, which mixes classic European and Caribbean influences, and their houses and the island are beautifully portrayed by leading photographer David Loftus. Following a unique design influenced by the authors' meticulously made sketchbooks and journals, a mix of tracing paper (used innovatively to recreate some of India's designs), gloss and uncoated papers are combined to give the book a novel approach. This is the first book to reveal the secrets of India's style which have long been championed by style gurus such as Ralph Lauren, who shot his catalogue at their home, and Martha Stewart.

Book excerpt: Photographer Jay Fleming turned his attention to Smith and Tangier Islands - the Chesapeake Bay's last inhabited 'water-locked' islands. Fleming has made countless trips to the islands to document the unique way of life and environment that have been shaped by isolation and the waters of the Chesapeake. This collection of photographs will fill the pages of Fleming's second book, Island Life. This body work comes at an important time for the islands, as their populations continue to decline and the unrelenting forces of the bay threaten the working working waterfronts that have sustained the communities for centuries. Fleming hopes that his photography will immerse readers in the Island Life and capture a crucial moment in time for the Chesapeake's most unique communities.

Download or read book Sea Room written by Adam Nicolson and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2007-08-14 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1937, Adam Nicolson's father answered a newspaper ad—"Uninhabited islands for sale. Outer Hebrides, 600 acres. . . . Puffins and seals. Apply."—and thus found the Shiants. With a name meaning "holy or enchanted islands," the Shiants for millennia were a haven for those seeking solitude, but their rich, sometimes violent history of human habitation includes much more. When he was twenty-one, Nicolson inherited this almost indescribably beautiful property: a landscape, soaked in centuries-old tales of restless ghosts and Bronze Age gold, that cradles the heritage of a once-vibrant world of farmers and fishermen. In Sea Room, Nicolson describes and relives his love affair with the three tiny islands and their strange and colorful history in passionate, keenly precise prose—sharing with us the greatest gift an island bestows on its inhabitants: a deep engagement with the natural world.

Discover how the island witnessed the opening shots against the Spanish Armada, and was bombed during the Second World War. The author brings us up to date, with an affectionate portrait of the indomitable Atkins sisters, who lived on the island for more than 30 years, and explains how the island has been passed on to the care of the Cornwall Wildlife Trust. The book includes an in-depth interview with Babs Atkins, conducted just a few years before her death. David Clensy works as a newspaper feature writer. He fell in love with Looe Island as a boy, and has worked as a volunteer on the island for more than a decade.

Book excerpt: Growing up on the island is like a child¿s first glimpse of the stars at midnight. The Bahamas in the early sixties, seventies and eighties was a village with excitement. You can tell by listening to the old folks about the good old days. We went crabbing in the bush, climbing the coconut tree, picked sapodilla and coco plumbs from the wild and made pepper sauce from the garden in the back yard.Life was simple, but the ability to persevere as a people strengthen the spirit of hope. Some of the most meaningful and memorable experiences of my childhood are connected in part to the stories you will read about. I hope you enjoy my vatae of life on Cat Island.

Download or read book Greek Island Life written by Margaret E. Kenna and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives a vivid and engaging account of anthropological exploration on a remote Greek island in the 1960s and is based on letters, progress reports, field notes and diary entries made at the time. These allow the reader to experience the bewildering early weeks of fieldwork in the Spring of 1966, the writer's first impressions, mistakes and understandings, and her attempts to make sense of what was going on during the sixteen months she spent on the island. The reader can also share in the emerging understanding resulting from long-term association and familiarity, gaining a sense of how months of work can be summed up in a short phrase or single sentence in later writings. Since the 1960s the author has returned to the island many times, and her later impressions and understandings are integrated in this book adding richness and depth to the material. This enables the reader, together with the author, to look back on those months from a viewpoint in the 90s.The islanders who regarded themselves as far from God in the sixties are now struggling to make a living from tourism, marketing their island as one of the unspoilt places in Greece. This is not only a dynamic and important reflexive account for the anthropologist, but an engaging and thoroughly enjoyable read for anyone interested in Greece or travel writing. Readers with an interest in modern history, sociology or Greek studies will also appreciate the depth and quality of Kenna's research as well as her accessible writing style.

Book excerpt: This book was written especially for our children: Michael, Ronald and Maureen, and for our grand children, to know a little bit about the good old days. David and I are over 80 years old now. The stories in this book are the way we remember them. Little did we ever think in our wildest dream, sitting by a wood stove with kerosene light and three children out on an island in Minnesota for 17 years, that we would retire in Arizona with all these luxuries. God has been good to us. Enjoy the stories as you read them! Evelyn McKeever
