The following book is a history of Dominica. Today, it is officially known as the Commonwealth of Dominica, an island country in the Caribbean. Dominica has been nicknamed the "Nature Island of the Caribbean" for its natural environment. It is the youngest island in the Lesser Antilles, and in fact it is still being formed by geothermal-volcanic activity, as evidenced by the worlds second-largest hot spring, called Boiling Lake. The island has lush mountainous rainforests, and it is the home of many rare plants, animals, and bird species.

"The Spring of the Year" by Dallas Lore Sharp is a book of outdoor facts. Naturally many of the birds and animals and flowers mentioned, as well as woods and aspects of sky and field, are those of the authors own local environment, the New England surrounding. So they must differ in some details from those surrounding you in your far Southern home or you on your distant Pacific coast. But the similarities and correspondences, the things and conditions people have in common, are more than the differences. In this book of the season, the things treated differ from the things around you, read about those things for information, and in your journeys afield fill in the gaps with whatever it is that completes your landscape, or rounds out your cycle of the seasons, or links up to your endless chain of life.

Books about British mountains are mostly of two kinds, the popular, written for the tourist, and the technical, written by the rock-climber. The author of this little study of the hills of Carnarvonshire and Cumberland is aware that it cannot claim acceptance under either of those heads, lacking as it does both the usefulness of the general "guide," and the thrill of the cragsmans adventure: he publishes it, nevertheless, as at least a true expression of the love which our mountains can inspire.

Talvez este seja um de meus livros mais variado, pois ele percorre uma dezena de temas diferentes, embora orbitando a volta da Amazonia. Começo abordando dois assuntos complicados: a nossa floresta amazonica e a ocupaço agricola do solo brasileiro, junto com breves comentarios sobre sustentabilidade e aquecimento global. Descrevo dois malogrados projetos para reformar a floresta amazonica, fruto da viso arrogante de grandes empresarios estrangeiros. E, depois, sobre o absurdo da destruiço da nossa grande floresta, um investimento insano em empobrecimento, que entretanto continuamos a perseguir com a obstinaço da maldade. Comento a seguir sobre a ideia muito difundida da incompletude amazonica. E sobre a elegante teoria dos refugios ecologicos, em parte desenvolvida por um zoologo e musico brasileiro. Falo dos felinos que vivem e daqueles que so mortos por nossa estupida ganancia. Se voce sobreviver a esses capitulos, ento sua leitura pode quem sabe se tornar mais facil. Muitas vezes avistei felinos na natureza, esplendidos momentos que agora relato. Finalmente, conto sobre a Onça Borges, em mais uma narrativa de nosso folclore. Volto a assuntos que ja apareceram antes, como as nossas guerras, neste caso, pela Independencia. Entre as mais notaveis expediçes feitas pelo homem esto as conquistas dos Polos Sul e Norte, agora relatadas em algum detalhe. Descrevo como sempre o nosso relevo, assentado no granito, no arenito e no calcario. No e so a floresta e seus habitantes que esto em risco. Ha outras criaçes associadas a vida as frutas e as linguas nativas, tambem ameaçadas de desaparecimento. Quem sabe isto tenha me levado a pensar em Nimuendaju, o etnografo alemo que melhor conheceu nossos povos indigenas conto aqui sua obra e sua historia emocionantes. Comento sobre a arrogancia do Judiciario, autor de uma infeliz cartilha antirracista, que me parece tipica do imperialismo estatal. E, para no abandonar os monstros aos quais voce ja se acostumou, termino com nada menos do que uma duzia deles, bem conhecidos do nosso folclore.
