Inhaltsangabe:

This is the only full color, hardcover book on Pensacola Beach and Santa Rosa Island. It's vivid photographs and colorful essays tell a fascinating tale of one of the most beautiful islands in the world. Michael O'Donovan, an islander for over 27 years, has captured the essence of this 50-mile long jewel in the Gulf of Mexico with photographs not normally seen in touristy brochures. Emphasizing the natural beauty of both flora and fauna, and beachscapes in all seasons of the year, the chapters are complimented with informative and provocative essays that complete this wonderful storybook of The Island.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Michael O'Donovan has lived most of his life on Santa Rosa Island at the eastern end of Pensacola Beach. He began photographing the island more than twenty years ago after becoming inspired by the immense amount of natural beauty this 50 mile long barrier island has to offer. Michael has walked hundreds of miles on the beaches, across the soundside dunes, into the neighborhoods, through Ft. Pickens and has photographed the island by water, land and air. Some of his photographs in the book go back to 1975, although most were taken over the past five years. Incredibly, over one-third of the photos were taken after hurricanes Erin and Opal, including the cover!

The book was published with the hope it will inspire the same appreciation and love of the island that the author has found.
