More DescriptionGrenada Uncovered distinguishes Grenada, a 120 square-mile island, beyond the obvious notion that it is a tourist's paradise. It is a pictorial representation of Grenada's rich history, pristine natural habitat, unmistakable developmental potential, and a people boldly desirous of progress.
It reveals tidbits as simple as the appropriateness of names used in Grenada, and as complex as the meaning and significance of the word, Grenada, in ancient Greece, Rome, and Persia. It covers topics germane to Grenada’s international image: the rich harmony in its ethnic diversity, the wealth of islets that surround Grenada; livestock, fishing, and agricultural potential; historical treasures; and the resourcefulness of its people, whether in crafting locally derived toys, or in making use of the island’s natural assets.
As a 184-page publication, Grenada Uncovered displays hundreds of full-color pictures that reveal Grenada's cultural adaptation to its tranquil landscape, a landscape that invites and seem to fulfill one's pursuit of happiness. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then Grenada Uncovered is an encyclopedia of Grenadian promise, fully substantiated in the representations of an unspoiled landscape, breathtaking views, and coastal charm.
