Volcanic eruptions have killed thousands of people and damaged homes, villages, infrastructure, subsistence gardens, and hunting and fishing grounds in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. The central business district of a town was destroyed by a volcanic eruption in the case of Rabaul in 1994. Volcanic disasters litter not only the recent written history of both countries—particularly Papua New Guinea—but are recorded in traditional stories as well. Furthermore, evidence for disastrous volcanic eruptions many times greater than any witnessed in historical times is to be found in the geological record. Volcanic risk is greater today than at any time previously because of larger, mainly sedentary populations on or near volcanoes in both countries. An attempt is made in this book to review what is known about past volcanic eruptions and disasters with a view to determining how best volcanic risk can be reduced today in this tectonically complex and volcanically threatening region.

Between July 1999 and June 2000, 173,210 immigrants arrived in Canada, including 6,196 Caribbean nationals. Most settled in Toronto, enhancing its burgeoning multiculturalism; but Evangeline’s family chose Ottawa instead - a city known as the coldest posting a Jamaican diplomat could receive. Evangeline discovers more about Canada the hard way. Although from 1994 to 2001 the United Nations declared Canada the best country of abode, Evangeline confirms that there are at least two sides to this, as to every other story. Minority status and its unfamiliar problems, subtle pressures to conform to new molds, unemployment and family reunification hurdles dog the resettling experience. However, active faith and steadfast purpose bring triumph in each circumstance. Jamaica, never far from Evangeline’s heart, becomes a target for prayer as well as a destination for family visits and “snowbird” escapes. As recipient of Jamaica’s 1992 Governor General’s Award for the parish of St. Andrew, Evangeline remains patriotic. She continues to support the community outreach projects of Christian Life Fellowship in Jamaica, and the work of the Jamaica House of Prayer.

Cinnamon Island is a mysterious, unchartered island, with magical history, and undiscovered secrets. The story is an impossible, torrid, fairy tale like, saga of an inter-racial, love triangle involving- a princess, a sailor and a farmer. The period is the late eighteenth century, before the advent of steamships, cell-phones, TV etc. The means of transport of the time were sailing ships, horses, horse driven coaches, and bullock carts. The characters and their emotions resulting in erotic encounters, however, are very much real and intense. Cinnamon Island is a fairy tale, but the picturesque depiction of the erotic love that happens between the characters in this book is no child’s fairy tale, but an adult depiction of love, sex and raw emotions and desires of the characters. The evolvement of the main characters, Irene the princess, Vivek the sailor and Conrad the farmer are stories within the main story. Could you guess the end of this intrigue…
