A Tidy Universe of Islands

Rating:
Summary: enlightening view of the pacific islands and their people
Review: I borrowed this book from a friend because I really wanted to read something about the history of the islands. Dr. Peck shares a unique, humorous yet respectful rendition of life on the islands starting back in the 50's. His admiration of the people and their way of life is heartwarming and gave me an eye opening lesson on what the islanders lived through during the war years. My hats off to this book and its author.

Summary: It's my dad's book, of course it gets five stars!
Review: It reads like, because it is, a collection of articles written over the course of a very intersting life. It probably ought to be also filed under Rota and Northern Marianas Islands, since that's where he lives now.
