This book explores the impact of resource extraction and the
dynamics of great powers competing for natural resources in the
Caribbean. The book analyses labour-capital relations between
China, the United States, the European Union, and Russia in the
Caribbean, as competition increases with the arrival of
non-traditional sources of foreign investments in infrastructure
from the East. Chapters assess these dynamics through varying
historical and current forms of worker, community, and organisation
resistance in the Caribbean’s extractive industries from the
1970s to the present. In doing so, the book critically analyses the
interplay of extractive capital with labour unions, community
organisations, management and the state, particularly regarding the
struggle for higher wages, improved working conditions, and the
broader issues of extractive capitalism and underdevelopment,
dispossession, social exclusion, and environmental degradation. The
first book on extractivism and labour in the Caribbean and a major
contribution to critical development studies literature, it will
appeal to policymakers as well as students and scholars in the
fields of Development Studies, Development Economics, Sociology,
Politics, and International Relations.

Classic works of speculative fiction from the earliest masters of
the genre. Classic Science Fiction includes nine stories from
masters of early science fiction: H. G. Wells, Jules Verne, H. P.
Lovecraft, Edgar Allen Poe, Jack London, Fitz James O'Brien,
Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and Stanley G. Weinbaum. The exploration
of new concepts and technologies has driven the genre since its
earliest days, and these works demonstrate how science fiction
evolved to encompass not only speculative science but also
humanity's role in the universe.
It will appeal to scholars of sociology and development studies
with interests in the Caribbean region and world order.
Originally published in 2005. Domestic and foreign economic and
political policies in the rich capitalist nations in the North and
in the poor countries in the South are geared towards globalization
and democratization. Indeed the dominant view held by countries in
the North is that globalization leads to democracy and vice versa,
and that in turn economic development will result from that
process. Thus many scarce resources are allocated to bring about
globalization and democracy. Exploring the dynamics of change that
allow for the persistence of authoritarian states in the Third
World, this illuminating book highlights certain aspects of
democratization that have not been investigated fully. Anyone
interested in development politics and political sociology will
draw a plethora of important theoretical insights into
globalization, authoritarianism and transition/democratization from
this original study.
Curl up with this collection of classic scary stories from the
masters of the genre. With dozens of stories of the macabre,
fantastic, and supernatural, Classic Horror Tales is sure to keep
readers on the edges of their seats. This collection of works by
classic writers spans more than a century-from 19th-century
trailblazers such as John William Polidori, Nathaniel Hawthorne,
and Washington Irving to 20th-century masters like Saki, Edith
Wharton, and Franz Kafka. The fear of the unknown is a driving
force in literature, and the horror genre surpasses all others in
bringing this idea to the forefront of the reader's consciousness.
A wide range of cultures and classes of society are represented in
this volume, reminding us that dark forces lurk all around us-for
even in broad daylight, a shadow exists somewhere.
The first English translation of the earliest Latin poems about
miracles performed by the Virgin Mary, composed in twelfth-century
Canterbury by a Benedictine monk who inspired Chaucer. Nigel (ca.
1135–1198), a Benedictine monk at Christ Church in Canterbury, is
best known for The Mirror of Fools—a popular satire whose hero
Burnellus the Ass is referenced in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales.
Nigel’s oeuvre also includes other important poems and
hagiography. The Miracles of the Virgin is the oldest Latin poem
about miracles performed by Mary. This collection features
seventeen lively tales in which the Virgin rescues a disappointed
administrator from a pact with the devil, has a Roman emperor
killed by a long-dead martyr, saves a Jewish boy from being burned
alive, and shields an abbess from the shame of pregnancy. Each
story illustrates the boundlessness of Mary’s mercy. In the Tract
on Abuses, a letter that resembles a religious pamphlet, Nigel
rails against ecclesiastical corruption and worldly entanglements.
Alongside authoritative editions of the Latin texts, this volume
offers the first translations of both works into English.

The large-scale extraction of natural resources for sale in
capitalist markets is not a new phenomenon, but in recent years
global demand for resources has increased, leading to greater
attention to the role of resource extraction in the development of
the exporting countries. The term neoextractivism was coined to
refer to the complex of state-private sector policies intended to
utilize the income from natural resources sales for development
objectives and for improving the lives of a country's citizens.
However, this book argues that neoextractivism is merely another
conduit for capitalist development, reinforcing the position of
elites, with few benefits for working people. With particular
reference to the role of neoextractivism within Latin America and
the Caribbean, using Guyana as a case study, the book aims to
provide readers with the tools they need to critically analyze
neoextractivism as a development model, identifying alternative
paths for improving the human condition. This book will be of
interest to academics and students in the fields of international
development, political economy, sociology, and globalization, as
well as to policymakers and political activists engaged in social
movements in the natural resources sector.
Shelter, fire and water are the three keys to survival and
maintaining your "core temperature control" (CTC). This
indispensable guide shows how to create and use each of these
elements most effectively and economically, while keeping the next
stage or steps clearly in focus, a forgotten -- yet critical --
component of many scenarios. Co-authored by noted survival expert
and woodsman Dave Canterbury, this is one of a 10-part series on
survival skills.
