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\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.61 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 14, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43153786208319,"sku":"9781914278013","price":43.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/deFlEZYBBQ9781914278013.webp?v=1776950800","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/cuba-living-between-hurricanes-climate-commodities-and-sustainability-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
