History of Jamaica

History of Jamaica has been revised to bring the account of the island's history up to date. Many maps and photographs have also been added. This edition of the authoritative History of Jamaica covers the whole of the history of the island from the arrival of the Arawaks a thousand years ago until the present day. That thousand year period has also seen the arrival of the Spaniards and the extermination of the Amerindians, the coming of the British and the introduction of slavery, the fight for freedom and the achievement of Independence. This story, with its many facets: the Buccaneers, the Maroons, the National Heroes and others, is told by the Government Archivist in a flowing narrative which is backed by a knowledge based on the closest contact with original documants.

English as a Second Language

A study guide for students undergoing professional health training, to accompany Tortora's "Principles of Anatomy and Physiology" (7th ed). Bridging the gap between theory acquired from the textbook and its practical application is the main objective of this study guide. The emphasis is on active learning, with students examining each concept through a series of activities and exercises. Patient scenarios are presented, providing the focus for chemical and biological topics, as well as patient care methods. By approaching each concept several times from different points of view, understanding is reinforced and students see how the ideas of the textbook apply to real, clinical situations.
