About This Book
"Historian David Buisseret teams up with aerial photographer Jack Tyndale-Biscoe in this book to produce a predominantly visual portrait of Jamaica from pre-Columbian times to the modern period." "Aerial photos and satellite images reveal a variety of historical processes much less visible from the ground while the explanatory maps give both the contemporary material and the photos a sharper focus and force the author to ask fresh questions of those images. With this unique combination of text and images Historic Jamaica From the Air brings to life Jamaica's rich history as well as its modern development."--Jacket.
