As a guide to the publication we reproduce its preface :
All places are unique, but Tristan da Cunha is extraordinary. This publication seeks to chronicle the remarkable history of this place, show images of the community in 2006 and contains a summary of achievements and aspirations from leaders representing Islanders, the British Government and the Tristan Association to commemorate 500 years of human history. In so doing it is hoped to provide an insight into why people decided to live and eventually thrive in a beautiful, yet often hostile environment, further from their neighbors than anywhere else on earth.
The Publication contains 120 images, including three maps and photographs from 40 individuals. These illustrate the islands and show its people and their way of life. Members and others interested in obtaining a copy are urged to move quickly to secure what is sure to be a sought-after memento of Tristan da Cunha.
