Islands in the Wind by Claude M. Jonnard Pdf

England's former east Caribbean islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands have evolved as constitutional democracies with a mix of open market capitalism and socialist government oversight to shield their people from runaway private enterprise. These are unique achievements for small states fighting for survival in a world of mega power politics. They have against many odds tenaciously clung to their independence, have been able to hold their own in the international corridors of power and have even been successful in growing their economies. The problem is that in the approximately half century since these states have become self-governing, they have been unable to close their income gaps with their more industrialized trading and investment partners in North America, Europe and Asia. Why this income gap continues to exist and how it is being addressed are the issues addressed in this book. This book argues that this existing income inequality in the islands is a consequence of the unequal footing they suffered during the colonial era and is being prolonged by current economic policies and programs encouraged by their own governments in conjunction with those of their major trading partners.

Wind Water Waves by Tom French Pdf

A collection of nine short stories reflecting on various characters' relationships with "The River." Ranging in time from the early 20th century to the present, Wind Water Waves chronicles how a varied cast of characters' lives are tied to "The River." The collection begins with "The Last of the Old Timers," the story of four individuals pulling a boat in the fall and recollecting their lives together. Four of the stories, told from different points of view, revolve around a group of young adults grappling with the death of a friend while also realizing that their season of youthful play in a summer wonderland is ending as they are forced to limit their time at the river and test their relationships with each other. "With the River and In the Wind" recalls a harrowing trip across the winter ice when a horse-drawn sleigh crashes through, killing the horses and forcing young Ben into an abandoned cabin until the storm passes. Later, he must confront death again when he recovers the body of a close family friend. "The Midnight Lady" recounts the attempt of two brothers to rob a riverside bank by boat in a fog. "Mom Makes River a Garden" reflects a memory that has blossomed with time. The book ends with "River Murmurs," a glance back to an event in the lives of the characters from the first story.
