Revolutions, like crocodiles, eat their young. Five generations of Cubans have seen their lives wither as their island paradise languishes under a dictator's boot. Those who refuse to burn their dreams on the altar of a failed political doctrine take to the sea. The Florida Strait is a moat for those who stay, a bridge for those who cross it, or a tombstone for those who fail. Crocodile Island chronicles dreams of freedom.

Ford, Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac and other Lincoln, Pontiac or Mercury: here come the forever young-looking Americans, two-colored and completely refurbished by the mechanics having the hang of car pimping. They proudly dash away along the bumpy roads of "Crocodile Island" while the paunchy stomachs of overweight tourists display the portrait of the "Che" on their T-shirts as they walk by the long, wind-swept Varadero beach. Tonight, the resort's all-inclusive buffet will serve an unlimited supply of Daiquiri, so everyone can pay an alcohol-filled tribute to Hemingway: "There's nothing like Vitamin R for high spirits!". R as in Rum.So much for the common clichés.For the last 50 years, Cuba has been under a never-ending economic, financial and commercial embargo and now the country wishes to keep its identity and its social benefits (healthcare, education...) while it is ready to start afresh too.The signs that the country is changing, timidly initiated a decade ago, are many even though they still haven't disrupted the inhabitants' daily life:− Owning a mobile phone is allowed since 2008.− Travelling anywhere overseas is allowed since 2013.− Liberalisation of car sales (at exorbitant prices) since 2014.− Reconciliation rendered official between Havana and Washington in the same year and reopening of respective embassies on July 20, 2015.− Barack Obama's official visit in March 2016.Today, more than ever since the 1959 Revolution, Cuba is shifting towards modernity.Hence the importance to gather information on this turning point.

“Tick, tock, tick, tock.” Thanks to Peter Pan, this sound, if heard near water, means run: a hungry crocodile is on its way. J. M. Barrie isn’t fully to blame for spreading the word that crocodiles are our enemies, or at least the enemies of one-handed pirates—innumerable songs, stories, and legends have characterized these reptiles as a symbol of pitiless predation and insatiable appetite. Tracking twenty-three crocodilian species from India and Egypt to Africa, Australia, and beyond, Crocodile advocates that we do a complete one-eighty in our views of these magnificent creatures. Dan Wylie traces the crocodile in myth, art, and literature, demonstrating that though we commonly associate the reptiles with ferocity and deceit, they have also often been respected and revered in human history. Discussing how crocodiles were all but wiped out in the middle of the twentieth century by hunters and skin traders and are now making a comeback, he reveals that, as apex predators, they are today an increasingly important indicator of the health of an ecosystem and may outlive humans like they did dinosaurs. Presenting a concise, cogent case for why we should respect these fearsome animals, this beautifully illustrated volume is a tribute to one of the world’s ultimate survivors.

In the course of the last century a considerable amount of scientific work has been carried out in the Cayman Islands. The results of this (outlined in Chapter 1) are widely distributed in unpublished reports, university theses, various scientific publications and books, many of these sources being difficult to find and some now unobtainable. The purpose of this book, therefore, is to bring all this scattered information together and to present a coherent account of the biogeography and ecology of the Islands, as an easily available reference source and as a foundation on which future work can be based.

Islands have captured the imagination of scientists and the public for centuries—unique and rare environments, their isolation makes them natural laboratories for ecology and evolution. This authoritative, alphabetically arranged reference, featuring more than 200 succinct articles by leading scientists from around the world, provides broad coverage of all the island sciences. But what exactly is an island? The volume editors define it here as any discrete habitat isolated from other habitats by inhospitable surroundings. The Encyclopedia of Islands examines many such insular settings—oceanic and continental islands as well as places such as caves, mountaintops, and whale falls at the bottom of the ocean. This essential, one-stop resource, extensively illustrated with color photographs, clear maps, and graphics will introduce island science to a wide audience and spur further research on some of the planet's most fascinating habitats.
