A Scape to Bermuda shows the intense beauty of Bermuda and takes the reader on a nostalgic journey through the islands, stopping on the way to appreciate the environment and the need to preserve it. The direction of the book is East to West and a great percentage of the island is shown in this way. Although the photographs are contemporary they depict what could be the past, a few of the scenes have already changed and as a result is an interesting historical record.

Bermuda truly is a natural jewel, one of the world’s most isolated islands and its Northernmost coral outcrop. Situated in the path of the Gulf Stream, the archipelago supports an amazing array of flora and fauna. The island’s natural form 400 years ago was a blanket of cedar and palmetto forest with an undisturbed abundance of fish and birds. This was a paradise with no human influence and no predators.

Mark Twain called Bermuda the biggest small place on earth and it is certainly truer today than a century ago. It is the most densely populated place on earth, however it is almost impossible to see that condition. Change has been forced on the island over the last 400 years as it has been a most strategic pawn in the Western Hemisphere power-mongering.

The latter 40 pages of A Scape to Bermuda contain a description for each of the images in the front, which manages to cover a large part of the island’s history. There are also 9 fold out pages throughout the book, which add a spectacular landscape perspective.
