A Photographic Guide to the People, Places, Culture and History of St. Thomas, USVI
Featuring the Photography of Don Hebert by Gerald Singer

This provocatively photographed and informative coffee table quality book provides a comprehensive look at the beaches of St. John in the US Virgin Islands National Park, and an insight their ecology and history.

Written in a very insightful and thought-provoking manner, this book discusses solutions that would put an end hatred and discrimination towards the Black community. It includes first hand discussions between the author and Black notables such as, Judge Greg Mathis, Rev Al Sharpton, Dr. Mike Weaver and other scholars and researchers.

Like all of V. S. Naipaul's "travel" books, "The Masque of Africa" encompasses a much larger narrative and purpose: to judge the effects of belief (in indigenous animisms, the foreign religions of Christianity and Islam, the cults of leaders and mythical history) upon the progress of civilization.

Some of the finest sights which greet the visitor to the U.S. Virgin Islands of  St. Thomas and St. John are the large number of noteworthy and memorable historic buildings in attractive settings.  The long Danish colonial presence in the islands has left a rich heritage of architecture in private residences, public buildings, military structures, churches, and plantations.
