This book focuses on the highly touristed, but surprisingly under-researched Lesser Antilles region. After offering a brief overview of the region’s geologic and tectonic history, as well as its basic climatology, subsequent chapters then discuss each island’s (or island set’s) geomorphology and geology, and how the settlement history, tourism, and hazards have affected their individual landscapes. Written by regional experts and replete with up-to-date information, stunning color imagery, and beautiful cartography (maps), it is the only comprehensive, scientific evaluation of the Lesser Antilles, and serves as the region’s definitive reference resource. Accessible to non-experts and amateur explorers, the book includes in-depth discussions and reference sections for each island/island set. Usable as both a textbook and guidebook, it offers readers a straightforward yet detailed assessment of an interesting and intriguing – but often-overlooked and under-appreciated – locale.

As a distant hurricane approaches, a depressed Captain Brian Clancy asks, "Where do you go when you leave paradise?" Several close friends have recently died and now someone's murdered another, Leif the Thief. The virginal but alluring Billie nudges Clancy to look into the murder because the police have already concluded their investigation, which consisted of stopping people on the street and asking them if they did it. Reluctantly, Captain Brian becomes our erudite and sartorial sea-salt sleuth.
