The tropical island of Bali is a place of extraordinary beauty--and even more extraordinary people. Terraced rice paddies climb up the steep slopes of misty volcanoes like steps reaching to the sky--and waving palms are silhouetted against vast sandy beaches and tropical sunsets that glow with ever-changing colors. Highland volcanic lakes surrounded by lush jungles contrast sharply with the island's busy towns and roads with a multitude of people. In "Bali: The Legendary Isle," author Patrick Booz takes you on a guided tour around this Indonesian island paradise. From Bali's fabled temples--with their elaborately carved statues and colorful painted panels--to the bustling village life surrounding them, this photographic journal provides a detailed look at a thriving culture that maintains its freshness and relevance in the modern world. The photographs of "National Geographic" photographer R. Ian Lloyd present Bali in all its glory--from the ritual celebrations and theatrical performances of a Balinese temple festival to the luxury of the islands renowned resorts. "Bali: The Legendary Isle" is an unforgettable record of an incomparable island and her people.
