Caribbean Books

Although Aruba is a small island, it's nice to have a high quality,indestructable map that provides the detail that is usually absent from most guidebooks.

If you're a "map weenie", this is a great one!

I went to several bookstores to find a hard cover picture book on Aruba but could not find what I wanted. When I searched Amazon.com and came across the Aruba, Bonaire And Curacao hard cover book I knew it was exactly what I was looking for. I am using this as a guest sign in book for my wedding. I did not want the typical sign your name type wedding book. This book will allow guests to write in memorable words for my fiance and I to look back on for years to come.

My 4yr old absolutely loves it! And this audio book has the "epilogue" scene at the end of the movie which is not found in the other "At World's End" books. So I am very happy with this purchase.

Arancibia shares reflections, thoughts and emotions in this impressive collection of poems. I couldn't put it down and it pulled at my heart as I toured the pages of this excellent book.

As long as you don't get sucked into believing the hype that this is the only navigation/weather resource you will need, this book is an excellent buy. You definitely need a Pilot Chart and this is not the only one available, but you can't go wrong with it.

I enjoyed this book tremendously and I anxiously await more books from Mr. Baldeosingh.

The Avant-Garde And Geopolitics In Latin America is a close study of cannonical Latin American avant-garde texts of the 1920s and 1930s, including novels, travel writing, journalism, and poetry, revealing them as seeds of modern Western culture and precursors of global culture. Author Fernando J. Rosenberg (asst. professor, Dept. of Spanish and Portuguese, Yale University) scrutinizes the long-term global and political implications of Latin American literature, supporting his conclusions with extensive notes and references. Especially recommended for Latin American literature and history students, The Avant-Garde And Geopolitics In Latin America an advanced discourse of cultural reverberations that far transcend their decade, and even their century, of origin.

This is one of the best books about the Aztecs I have seen. Despite its price it offers great and beautiful color photographs as well as very interesting and well written essays. You will not regret it!!!

I bought this CD for my son who is autistic as a Christmas present. It was very entertaining and enjoyable for my son--it was good to hear him sit and laugh. The CD also taught some valuable life lessons as well. Bobby Norfolk is one of my favorite storytellers--I got to see him in person at the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival and I was thrilled to discover that he had recorded his stories on CD. He truly transports you to another world--the world of his imagination. I will definitely purchase more of his CDs. Listen to Bobby Norfolk for yourself and appreciate his talent and humor.

Some of these recipes will make you a glutton. They were so good. I won't tell you which ones though. Get the book and try some for yourself.

The other day I went through my cookbooks, to see if I could weed some out, because I have too many to mention. It's hard getting rid of a cookbook, especially one with a few recipes in it that you've come to love. But I've scanned the recipes I need to keep forever into my MacBook. However, there were an even dozen I couldn't part with. These are books I turn to time and time again, even though I consider myself somewhat of a gourmet chef.

BAHAMA MAMA'S was one of the one's I kept because over the last couple years I've found myself going to it time and again. I make "Mama's Best Gingerbread" all the time. Like most of the recipes in this book, it's easy and impossible to screw up and it tastes delicious. For a quick and good gumbo I've done the "Crawfish Gumbo" on page 59 and like it a lot. True, I consider myself somewhat of a gourmet, but I don't always have the time to spend in the kitchen I'd like, so sometimes it's nice to have a recipe book on hand that you can count on for tasty and authentic meals.

I've served the "Stuffed Tomatoes" here so often that I know the recipe by heart and I've found they go very well with the "Whiskey Chicken on page 105, which is just about my hubby's favorite meal. This is a terrific cookbook and I think you'll find if you use it for any length of time, you too will be cooking like a Bahama Mama.
