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. [Here] 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 ER -
