Book Description
Turks Islands Landfall by H.E. Sadler is a well researched and authoritative account of the Islands' history from 1492 to the present time. It presents compelling evidence that it was Turks Islands where the Lucayan Indians first greeted Christopher Columbus; it brings together extensive material on the country's development of the salt trade, the Bermudian and Bahamian influences, as well as the American Loyalist settlements in the Islands. The book reveals the seafaring, shipwrecking and privateering history, and its entry into modern times. For students of Turks and Caicos and Caribbean history, it is an indispensable tool for study and research.

Book Description
A comprehensive ornithological guide introducing both visitors and residents to the bird life of the Bahamas Archipelago and the neighbouring Turks and Caicos Islands. The text contains colour photos and information on the breeding birds of the region plus the most commonly recorded migrants that either pass through on their way to other destinations or stay during the winter season. The author has divided the birds into two sections, land and water. Not every bird that has been recorded in the region is included but emphasis is on how to recognize or identify the various species and their plumages plus information on how the birds are distributed in the islands and whether or not they are common, uncommon or rare. Behaviour and habitat preferences are covered as well as calls and songs.

Book Description
Keegan and Carlson, combined, have spent over 45 years conducting archaeological research in the Caribbean, directing projects in Trinidad, Grenada, St. Lucia, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Cuba, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, the Turks & Caicos Islands, and throughout the Bahamas. Walking hundreds of miles of beaches, working without shade in the Caribbean sun, diving in refreshing and pristine waters, and studying the people and natural environment around them has given them insights into the lifeways of the people who lived in the Caribbean before the arrival of Christopher Columbus. Sadly, harsh treatment extinguished the culture that we today call Taíno or Arawak. In an effort to repay their debt to the past and the present, the authors have focused on the relationship between the Taínos of the past (revealed through archaeological investigations) and the present natural history of the islands. Bringing the past to life and highlighting commonalities between past and present, they emphasize Taíno words and beliefs about their worldview and culture.
