Trinidad and Tobago is one of the most cosmopolitan countries in the world. Since the arrival of Amerindian peoples more than ten thousand years ago, this twin-island, Caribbean nation has become a melting pot of different races, traditions, customs and religions. The Amerindians, followed by European colonisers and settlers from Africa, India, China and the Middle East, have all influenced its diverse and unique culture.
Known as "the land of the hummingbird" - a name given to the islands by the Amerindians -Trinidad and Tobago is the birthplace of calypso music and the steel drum - two of the most essential ingredients in the globally-renowned Trinidad Carnival.
Trinidad and Tobago: Terrific and Tranquil is a spectacular book comprising more than two hundred photographic images which depict life in this diverse and vibrant nation.
