Download or read book A History of the Virgin Islands of the United States written by Isaac Dookhan and published by Kingston, Jamaica : Canoe Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Virgin Islands in the course of centuries have witnessed the coming and going of Ciboney, Arawak and Carib peoples, European discovery by Christopher Columbus, temporary occupation by pirates and adventurers, colonization, commercial and plantation development by Danes and other North European settlers, African slavery and its abolition, American purchase, colonial government, social and political change, and in recent years remarkable tourist and industrial developments. These and other topics have been narrated and interpreted by Dr. Isaac Dookhan in this first comprehensive history of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Dr. Dookhan is eminently well qualified for this undertaking. He was born in the British colony of British Guiana, now independent Guyana, where he was educated in the public schools and served as teacher and headmaster. The author has drawn upon primary and secondary sources in recounting the experience of the Virgin Islands and their peoples. He is concerned with successive waves of immigrants, how they affected the physical environment and cultural life of the islands, the impact of international wars and politics, commodity price movements, and technological changes.

Download or read book The Tutu Archaeological Village Site written by Elizabeth Righter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excavations at the Tutu site represent a dramatic chapter in the annals of Caribbean archaeological excavation. The site was discovered in 1990 during the initial site clearing for a shopping mall in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. The site was excavated with the assistance of a team of professional archaeologists and volunteers. Utilizing resources and funds donated by the local scientific communities, the project employed a multidisciplinary sampling strategy designed to recover material for analysis by experts in fields such as anthropology, archaeology, palaeobotany, zooarchaeology, bioarchaeology, palaeopathology and photo imaging. This volume reports the results of these various applied analytical techniques laying a solid foundation for future comparative studies of prehistoric Caribbean human populations and cultures.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After 20 years, 65 percent of the original stems survived, with an average d.b.h. growth rate of 0.07 cm year−1. Tree species abundances varied by topography and elevation within the watershed. In 1983, total aboveground biomass on all plots combined averaged 138.7 t ha−1; by 2003, it had declined by nearly 7 percent. In 1983, biomass was greatest on the summit, intermediate on slopes and valleys, and least on ridges; by 2003, the quantities for all sites had converged except on the summit plot. In 1992, total aboveground productivity was estimated at 10.64 t ha−1 year −1. Standing herbivory for leaves was 4.5 percent, and the herbivory rate was 4.6 percent per year. The standing crop of litter was 9.33 t ha−1. Hurricanes had a major impact on forest structure and species composition. The trees impacted (snapped, uprooted, or standing dead) by Hurricane Hugo totaled 210 ha−1 after 10 months and 288 ha−1 after 19 months.
