Puerto Rico, A World Apart is a documentary portrayal of the island of Puerto Rico in a medium-sized coffee table book format. As its subtitle suggests, this book has a significant focus on the island’s history. Richly illustrated with stunning color photographs and a sprinkling of historic/archival photographs and prints, the book’s text and photographs capture Puerto Rico from the era of the pre-Columbian Taino Indians down to the present day, with a special emphasis on Old San Juan. (The book’s cover photograph, seen here, is a dramatic aerial shot of the renowned 16th-century fort known as El Morro, which guards the entrance to San Juan Bay.)
