Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
The text was written by the archaeologist Jose Miguel Ramirez, who was Superintendent of the Easter Island National Park for seven years.

This is a very high-quality book, with 192 pages, which dimensions are of 20 x 30 cm (approximately 10 x 12.5 inches). It contains more than 220 full-color photographs that range from aerial photos taken during various flights and under different light conditions, to underwater pictures of caves and native fish species of the island. It has a large number of photographs of archaeological sites and landscapes, but, and perhaps most importantly, the last 58 pages are devoted to photographs of islanders of Rapa Nui that belong to the Rapa Nui ethnic group. Also included are images of the Tapati Rapa Nui, which is an event that brings their ancient customs and rates to life.

5 out of 5 stars Completa y hermosa visiAn de Rapa Nui   August 5, 2001

...Esta publicacion es definitivamente la mejor opcion para tener una vision general de la isla. Contiene hermosas fotos de la isla y sus habitantes, asi como un excelente texto escrito por un arqueologo, quien fue Director del Parque Nacional Rapa-Nui. En resumen un trabajo serio, completo y artisticamente hermoso


4 out of 5 stars Rapa Nui Alive!   March 11, 2001

5 out of 5 found this review helpful

An excellent addition to the Rapa Nui library, with glorious color plates showing every aspect of the island. So many Easter Island books focus wholly on Easter Island's past, and the moai statues. This one includes excellent aerial views of the whole island and island life as well as its archeological splendors. A few too many of those pretty girls than can really be justified though, Carlos!
