Sea and Land
Drawing together a remarkable array of information in one compact volume, Sea and Land provides an excellent synthetic survey of the environmental history of the Caribbean. Capacious, fascinating, and eminently readable, it also represents the best available overview of the current state of the field, highlighting the plethora of new scholarship on the topic; its voluminous bibliography, for example, primarily cites titles that have been publishe…

Mahogany
In the mid-eighteenth century, colonial Americans became enamored with the rich colors and silky surface of mahogany. This exotic wood, imported from the West Indies and Central America, quickly displaced local furniture woods as the height of fashion.

Better Judges of the Situation
In 1786, Britain and Spain concluded the Convention of London, a treaty renewing permission for Anglo woodcutters to cut timber within a designated area in the Bay of Honduras.

This has largely been a function of the lack of appr…

"The best wood has been cut off," he explained, "After the depletion of the wood on this island, Cuba mahogany [is] the best to be had."1 Had Henkels travele…
A Statistical Basis for Speech Sound Discrimination
Infants under six months are able to discriminate native and non-native consonant contrasts equally well, but as they learn the phonological systems of their native language, this ability declines. Current explanations of this phenome non agree that the decline indiscrimination ability is linked to the formation of native-language phonemic categories. The goal of this study was to evaluate the role of input statistics in learning these categories…
