Michael Chanan), and tells the stories through the voices of those who were interviewed. It is a book about the elements - hurricanes and rain, the sea and the earth. About a fishing port on the north coast of Cuba which has seen better days: Caibarién, where Hurricane Irma - one of the most powerful ever to sweep the Caribbean - made landfall on 9th September 2017. About the effects of climate across the centuries in a Caribbean island sucked into global markets for its commodity crops - tobacco, coffee and above all, sugar. How sugar changed the landscape, through deforestation and soil exhaustion. About the collapse of sugar and the encroachment of a new commodity market - tourism. About the growing threat from climate change, and the move towards reforestation, ecotourism and sustainable farming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Curry-Machado\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1914278011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781914278013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amaurea Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.61d","brand":"Jonathan Curry-Machado","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47001819349247,"sku":"9781914278013","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e76a308e-4a5f-4eca-92c7-009b79f58697.jpg?v=1751602238","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cuba-jonathan-curry-machado-9781914278013","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
