It is one of the Lesser Antilles islands and is positioned between Martinique and Guadeloupe. The capital city of Dominica is Roseau, which is situated on the western coast of the island. Dominica has a population of approximately 72,000 people, and the official language of the country is English. The island nation spans an area of 290 square miles, covered by lush green forests, as well as hot springs and waterfalls. Dominica has a tropical climate that is regulated by the cooling trade winds. The island boasts a vibrant culture, with a rich history and traditions influenced by both African and European traditions. Dominica's economy is primarily driven by agriculture, with bananas being the primary crop. Other crops cultivated here include citrus, coconuts, and spices. The island also sees significant revenue through ecotourism, with its abundance of natural beauty and wildlife. Additionally, Dominica has become a popular spot for film production, with several major movies filmed here in the past few years. Dominica is also known for its political stability, being a fully independent member of the Commonwealth of Nations, and its healthcare and education systems are exemplary in the Caribbean region.

Download or read book Landscapes and Landforms of the Lesser Antilles written by Casey D. Allen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the highly touristed, but surprisingly under-researched Lesser Antilles region. After offering a brief overview of the region’s geologic and tectonic history, as well as its basic climatology, subsequent chapters then discuss each island’s (or island set’s) geomorphology and geology, and how the settlement history, tourism, and hazards have affected their individual landscapes. Written by regional experts and replete with up-to-date information, stunning color imagery, and beautiful cartography (maps), it is the only comprehensive, scientific evaluation of the Lesser Antilles, and serves as the region’s definitive reference resource. Accessible to non-experts and amateur explorers, the book includes in-depth discussions and reference sections for each island/island set. Usable as both a textbook and guidebook, it offers readers a straightforward yet detailed assessment of an interesting and intriguing – but often-overlooked and under-appreciated – locale.

Download or read book Essentials of Medical Geology written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-02-03 with total page 826 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authoritative reference volume emphasizes the importance and interrelationships of geological processes to the health and diseases of humans and animals. Its accessible format fosters better communication between the health and geoscience communities by elucidating the geologic origins and flow of toxic elements in the environment that lead to human exposure through the consumption of food and water. For example, problems of excess intake from drinking water have been encountered for several inorganic compounds, including fluoride in Africa and India; arsenic in certain areas of Argentina, Chile, and Taiwan; selenium in seleniferous areas in the U.S., Venezuela, and China; and nitrate in agricultural areas with heavy use of fertilizers. Environmental influences on vector borne diseases and stormflow water quality influences are also featured. Numerous examples of the environmental influences on human health from across the globe are also presented and discussed in this volume.* Covers recent advances and future research topics at the intersection of environmental science and public health* Developed by 60 experts from 20 countries and edited by professionals from the International Working Group on Medical Geology* Includes 200+ color photographs and illustrations* Organizes information in a highly structured format for easy reference* Written for a broad audience, ranging from students, researchers, and medical professionals to policymakers and the general public

Download or read book Environmental Change and Tropical Geomorphology written by Ian Douglas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-11 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tropics provide the key to understanding much biological and Earth science. This is particularly true for the study of landforms, which in higher latitudes suffer great seasonal contrasts in process intensity and type, and which often in the past underwent the dramatic changes of glaciation and periglaciation. Yet studies in the tropics have shown that the legacy of past climate changes is much more dramatic than was formerly believed. This book, first published in 1985, brings together the variety of evidence about such environmental changes, over a variety of timescales, and sets it against the current knowledge of the nature of geomorphic processes in the tropics.
