Henry Guppy spent years in the Pacific reading the story of the islands in their rocks and hot springs, puzzling over whether the land was rising from the sea. This first volume digs into the geology of Vanua Levu and the coral shores of Fiji. Patient island science. Wade the reefs with a naturalist asking how they formed.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
