More centrally focused on the Caribbean than any other survey of the region, Caribbean History examines a wide range of topics to give students a thorough understanding of the region's history. The text favors a traditional, largely chronological approach to the study of Caribbean history, however, because it is impossible to be entirely chronological in the complex agglomeration of often disparate historical experiences, some thematic chapters occupy the broadly chronological framework. The author creates a readable narrative for undergraduates that contains the most recent scholarship and pays particular attention to the U.S.-Caribbean connection to more fully relate to students.

Legendary creature of the open ocean, the albatross was once known only to hardy mariners. Today, millions of people around the world are familiar with the iconic long wings and graceful flight of this captivating bird through TV documentaries, or perhaps by seeing them from a cruise ship or on one of their breeding islands. However, few people realise that thousands of albatrosses are killed in fishery operations each year and that most species are now in serious trouble as a result some even threatened with extinction. Having saved the whale, we must now Save the Albatross. A royalty from the sale of this book will be donated to the "Save the Albatross Campaign"
