Product Description:
Dominica, though diminutive, is one of the most naturally dramatic and beautiful islands of the Lesser Antilles. Self-proclaimed ‘Nature Island of the Caribbean’, its verdant mountains, lush valleys and dense tropical rainforests are a delight for those looking to discover a Caribbean island that can still claim to be off the mass-tourism trail. Aside from nature lovers, this guide is ideal for explorers intent on experiencing the country’s rich culture and heritage, and for scuba-divers who want to discover some dramatic marine life and underwater topography. Dominica’s recent claim to fame includes being the location for the filming of Hollywood blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean.

The history of a landmark house near Independence, Kansas, told through the memories of a pioneer girl from Switzerland named Dominica, creates a beautiful backdrop for this book by Wilma Andrews. While most longtime residents of Montgomery County, Kansas are familiar with the unusual house bearing the name "BELMONT" on its front, few of them know the origins of the structure, its green glass lettering bearing the name "BELMONT" or the reason for the two large castle doors at its entrances. "Dominicas Castle" provides all the answers. The story is beautifully told about the little girl living in Switzerland who always wanted to live in a castle bearing the name "Belmont" located on a mountain near her home. While a move to America would change her vocation and allow her to meet new friends and marry the man of her dreams, she still yearned to live in Belmont. You will share Dominica's dreams and feel her passion as you browse these pages and find yourself wanting to slowly drive by the "Kansas Belmont Castle", which still stands now occupied by a descendant of the Swiss girl with the lovely name, Dominica. Contributed by Rudy Taylor, a southeast Kansas newspaper publisher and author of an award-winning book, "Light on Main Street" |

From the rainforests, waterfalls and hundreds of rivers and streams, to the blue Caribbean Sea, Dominica is truly a land of water. In this amazing photographic exploration of Dominica, author Jonathan Bird takes readers on a journey from the cloudy mountain peaks at almost 5,000 feet to the depths of the blue ocean just offshore. The Commonwealth of Dominica (not to be confused with the Dominican Republic) is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled islands in the Caribbean. Bird, though a native of the United States, considers Dominica his second home and has traveled to Dominica dozens of times to photograph the stunning scenery above and below the waves. |

Stretching for more than 300 miles around the southeastern end of the Caribbean Sea, from the Leeward Islands toward the northern coast of South America, the Windward Islands boast modern resort communities and warm, sunny beaches. Five countries comprise the island group: the independent nations of Dominica, St. Lucia, Grenada, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines; and the French dependency of Martinique. Settled by Europeans in the early 1600s, the islands (except France's Martinique) became British colonies that did not gain independence until the 1970s. While tourism remains an important industry in the Windward Islands, agricultural exports including bananas, nutmeg, and fruits and vegetables also help foster the economy. Each book in "The Caribbean Today" series is lavishly illustrated, and teaches 12 year olds and up about the geography, history, economy, and culture of each nation. Each volume is indexed, and contains a bibliography featuring books and Web sources for further information. |
