Patrick D. Nunn is professor of oceanic geoscience at the University of the South Pacific in Suva, Fiji.
This delightful book examines the nature of vanished and vanishing islands of the vast Pacific Ocean. . . . The writing is engaging and personal, and the science is clear and accessible. Its 11 chapters include black-and-white photographs, maps, and figures, as well as copious notes, several appendixes, and about 575 references. . . . This is truly a fine, engaging read.-- "CHOICE (April 2009)"
