Palo Mayombe: The Garden of Blood and Bones is an initiate's account of this much maligned cult whose central nigromantic mystery is the prenda, the cauldron containing the human skull or bones, reanimated by living spirit. Nicholaj de Mattos Frisvold traces the roots of Palo Mayombe back to Kongolese sorcery, the warrior and leopard societies, and the impact of the Portugese Mission. The original African faith is carried in chains across the abysmal waters of Kalunga and it flowers in Cuba as a New World Creole religion and cult.

Cuba Libre finds Leonard reaching for a broader audience than those which appreciated either his crime novels or the westerns he once wrote, which he accomplishes by combining elements of both. Ben Tyler is a cowboy who robs banks, but only those that contain money of people who owe but won`t pay him--he only takes what they owe. Charlie Burke is a businessman who buys horses cheap in the west, then sells them to exporters, while heroine Amelia Brown is the mistress of one of the truly bad men in the novel and struggles with dilemmas similar to those endured by other cast members.

Deteriorating environmental conditions around the world have indicated that our planetary and ecological sustainability may be at risk. In light of this, the quest for sustainable human development has been a major influential concept of our time. Despite extensive international endorsement, many are concerned that little has been achieved to implement an effective strategy of sustainable development. There are few case studies that exhibit widely accepted elements of sustainability. In this thesis I evaluate the controversial, unique but mostly overlooked case of Cuba. With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989, Cuba was forced to pursue an independent national-development strategy. Since the declaration of the 1992 Earth Summit in...
