This work formulates a testable hypothesis of the origins and migration patterns of the aboriginal peoples of the Greater Antilles (Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico), the Lucayan Islands (the Commonwealth of the Bahamas and the Crown Colony of the Turks and Caicos), the Virgin Islands, and the northernmost of the Leeward Islands, prior to European contact. Using archaeological data as corroboration, the authors synthesize evidence that has been available in scattered locales for more than 500 years but which has never before been correlated and critically examined. Within any well-de

The increase in the number of earthquakes and in the temperature of the hot springs that occurred between 1995 and 1997 on the islands of Saba and St. Eustatius, located in the Northern Lesser Antilles, was more than a mere fluke in subterranean activity: a mild volcano-seismic crisis had produced an increased heat flow.This book investigates this correlation and other geologic activity of the active volcanoes in the Northern Lesser Antilles. A well-researched document of the volcanoes on these two highly populated islands, the book also features five detailed maps of the region and is an idea
