Description
Empire's Crossroads: A History of the Caribbean from Columbus to the Present DayEver since Christopher Columbus stepped off the Santa Maria and announced that he had arrived in the Orient, the Caribbean has been a stage for projected fantasies and competition between world powers. In Empire's Crossroads, historian Carrie Gibson offers a vivid, panoramic view of this complex region and its rich, important history. That fateful landing in 1492 soon launched a savage competition for West Indian territory that would last centuries.
Ever since Christopher Columbus stepped off the Santa Maria and announced that he had arrived in the Orient, the Caribbean has been a stage for projected fantasies and competition between world powers. In Empire's Crossroads, historian Carrie Gibson offers a vivid, panoramic view of this complex region and its rich, important history. That fateful landing in 1492 soon launched a savage competition for West Indian territory that would last centuries. Gibson compellingly traces the ups and downs of European imperial expansion--including the first cash crops, failed settlements, and pirating on the open seas--but she also brilliantly describes daily life on the islands. Creole societies complicated traditional ideas about class and race, and by the end of the eighteenth century, plantation slaves in Saint-Domingue had launched the Haitian Revolution, the world's only successful slave revolt. As European control of the Caribbean loosened over the next 150 years, America was on the rise, ushering in a new era of foreign influence and the birth of the tourism industry that still thrives today. Incredibly multi-faceted and approachably written, Empire's Crossroads encompasses the narratives of more than twenty islands and reinterprets five centuries of history have been underappreciated for far too long.Binding Type: Paperback

Only bone for my dog
Flavor Name: Chicken, Size: Medium
These are the only bones my dog will chew on. He loves both the chicken and bacon flavored. I just have to watch him as if they get too small I don't let him chew and will give him a new one.

Size information reversed. Smalls are medium and mediums are small.
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
I love the product but the description is frustrating. I ordered the medium size bones expecting the 7 inch bones, but recieved the 5 inch bones. Apparently if you want the 7 inch bones you should choose small instead of medium. That makes no sense and is so irritating.

Keep my dog entertained…for a while!!
My dog absolutely loves this toy! I spread a bit of peanut butter on it and he gets so excited every time. It keeps him busy for a few minutes, though he licks it clean super fast. Still a great way to give him a little treat and mental stimulation.
