Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous Peoples History - Bahamas & Turks & Caicos Islands Civilizations The Americas' modern nations exist today because of what took place over 500 years ago in a tiny archipelago that Spanish explorers called the Lucayan Islands or the Islas de Los Lucayos (today's Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands). The tragic events that originated from these shores resulted in humanity's continuing drama in its quest for peace. In this insightful book, Tellis A. Bethel shares how the Old World's ruthless transformation of the Ancient World into a new one (today's Americas) began in these Lucayan Islands. This book lays a concise historical foundation for finding purpose and meaning in a tragic past that could change the world for the better. As you read Book 1, you will discover how: the Ancient World of the Western Hemisphere began with an ancient migration from northeast Asia into Alaska; the Caribbean Islands were colonized from Central and South America, and the predominant indigenous groups involved (Arawaks, Tainos, Caribs, and Lucayans); Asians, Africans, and other Europeans may have arrived in the Ancient World of the Western Hemisphere before Christopher Columbus; Columbus' special gift while at Hispaniola from a local chief changed history; the Lucayans were the first to be forcibly taken from their homeland during Columbus' first landfall in the Americas, marked the beginnings of European slavery within the Americas; Spain may not have been the first European country to have political jurisdiction over the Lucayan Islands, and much more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lucayan Sea-Birthplace of the Americas (2nd Edition) shares unique insights about the founding of the Americas' heritage off the shores of The Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands. As the second book of the trilogy titled The Lucayan Sea: A Case for Naming the Historic Waters of The Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands, this book tells the story of the modern Americas' unfolding and proposes naming the seas (the unnamed historic waters) of these Lucayan Islands. Furthermore, it proposes that the naming of these waters be done as a tribute to the Lucayans, the first to suffer total genocide at the dawning of the Americas. It also advocates naming these waters as a tribute to the indigenous people's history, the Native Americans, enslaved Africans, and others who had suffered or died as a result of "humanity's inhumanity to humanity" during the Americas' early history. As this books unfolds the history of the Americas as it relates to the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands, The Lucayan Sea-Birthplace of the Americas further proposes that these waters be named as a source of hope and a symbol of peace for the Americas and the world. With over 120 pages of insightful information and more than 20 pages of citations and bibliography, The Lucayan Sea-Birthplace of the Americas reveals how: Columbus' remaining voyages to the Americas' ended; Christopher Columbus' enterprise to the Indies might not have been a mistake of his own making; Portugal won the race to the East Indies 24 years before Spain arrived in the region; the Ancient World was transformed into the New World (of the Americas) by the Old World; the Lucayan Archipelago became the site where the Americas were founded; the Lucayans became the first indigenous people to suffer genocide at the beginning of a new era; the Spanish conquered the American mainland and shipped treasure back to Spain through Lucayan Islands' neighboring waters; Spain officially handed the Lucayan Islands over to British authorities 290 years after first claiming them in 1492; the "discovery" of the Lucayan Islands opened the gateway for transpacific trade between the Indies and the Americas; the discovery of the Lucayan Islands resulted in the naming of the Pacific Ocean, giving birth to the Philippines; European superpowers changed global maritime boundaries and territories on at least three occasions due to the "discovery" of the Lucayan Islands; Columbus' dream of a shorter route to the indies has finally come to pass 500 years after he first looked for it and more...

Download or read book Talking Taino written by William F. Keegan and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2008-10-26 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keegan and Carlson, combined, have spent over 45 years conducting archaeological research in the Caribbean, directing projects in Trinidad, Grenada, St. Lucia, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Cuba, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, the Turks & Caicos Islands, and throughout the Bahamas. Walking hundreds of miles of beaches, working without shade in the Caribbean sun, diving in refreshing and pristine waters, and studying the people and natural environment around them has given them insights into the lifeways of the people who lived in the Caribbean before the arrival of Christopher Columbus. Sadly, harsh treatment extinguished the culture that we today call Taíno or Arawak. In an effort to repay their debt to the past and the present, the authors have focused on the relationship between the Taínos of the past (revealed through archaeological investigations) and the present natural history of the islands. Bringing the past to life and highlighting commonalities between past and present, they emphasize Taíno words and beliefs about their worldview and culture.

Book excerpt: A Science Friday Best Science Book of the Year A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of the Year A Library Journal Best Science and Technology Book of the Year A Tampa Bay Times Best Book of the Year A stunning history of seashells and the animals that make them that "will have you marveling at nature…Barnett’s account remarkably spirals out, appropriately, to become a much larger story about the sea, about global history and about environmental crises and preservation" (John Williams, New York Times Book Review). Seashells have been the most coveted and collected of nature’s creations since the dawn of humanity. They were money before coins, jewelry before gems, art before canvas. In The Sound of the Sea, acclaimed environmental author Cynthia Barnett blends cultural history and science to trace our long love affair with seashells and the hidden lives of the mollusks that make them. Spiraling out from the great cities of shell that once rose in North America to the warming waters of the Maldives and the slave castles of Ghana, Barnett has created an unforgettable history of our world through an examination of the unassuming seashell. She begins with their childhood wonder, unwinds surprising histories like the origin of Shell Oil as a family business importing exotic shells, and charts what shells and the soft animals that build them are telling scientists about our warming, acidifying seas. From the eerie calls of early shell trumpets to the evolutionary miracle of spines and spires and the modern science of carbon capture inspired by shell, Barnett circles to her central point of listening to nature’s wisdom—and acting on what seashells have to say about taking care of each other and our world.

Download or read book The Caribbean Before Columbus written by William F. Keegan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The islands of the Caribbean are remarkably diverse, environmentally and culturally. Ranging from low limestone islands to volcanic islands with mountainous peaks, from rainforests to desert habitats, they are home to a mosaic of indigenous communities and to the descendants of Europeans, Africans, and Asians. Yet this diversity has become homogenized, for both the tourist and the historian. For instance, it was assumed that every new prehistoric culture had developed out of the culture that preceded it. Furthermore, the overly simplistic distinction between the "peaceful Arawak" and the "cannibal Carib," which forms the structure for James Michener's Caribbean, still dominates popular notions of precolonial Caribbean societies. This book documents the diversity and complexity that existed in the Caribbean prior to the arrival of Europeans, and immediately thereafter. The diversity results from different origins, different histories, different contacts between the islands and the mainland, different environmental conditions, and shifting social alliances. Organized chronologically, from the arrival of the first humans - the paleo-Indians - in the sixth millennium BC to early contact with Europeans, The Caribbean before Columbus presents a new history of the region based on the latest archaeological evidence. The authors also consider cultural developments on the surrounding mainland, since the islands' history is a story of mobility and exchange across the Caribbean Sea, and possibly the Gulf of Mexico and Florida Straits. The result is the most up-to-date and comprehensive survey of the richly complex cultures who once inhabited the six archipelagoes of the Caribbean. -- from back cover.
