The British Virgin Islands: The Hometown Lowdown Guide to Travel and Taste
By Paul Spicer
Mention the British Virgin Islands, and people immediately think of the “yachting capital of the world.” However, with Anegada lobster, local conch, fresh papaya, mangos, and passion fruit galore, the British Virgin Islands are home to much more than brilliant sun and tranquil waters. In fact, the islands are brimming with the best local ingredients, recipes, and chefs in all of the Caribbean. In this mouthwatering guide, Paul Spicer takes you on a tour of the region and shares the delectable secrets of its cooking. Visit the Sage Mountain National Park on Tortola, where you’ll find fruit in every direction and encounter the sweet-and-sour tang of local mango chutneys—the perfect complement to a roti, an East Indian crepe-like wrap filled with meat or vegetables. Discover the best places to get callaloo, a Caribbean version of gumbo. Get an insider’s recommendations for the most romantic dining destinations and for hidden beachside pubs. Part cookbook and part travel guide, The British Virgin Islands: The Hometown Lowdown Guide to Travel and Taste introduces you to the finest seaside restaurants and recipes, offers a peek inside island kitchens, and provides a colorful evocation of life in the British Virgin Islands.
The Therapeutic Value of Creative Writing
By Paul M. Spicer
This little workbook can be used to create a special place where the reader/writer can spend time alone, reflect on life, and explore the therapeutic value of creative writing. It is designed to encourage the reader to express himself or herself creatively through a series of activities, guidelines, and suggestions. From journaling to poetry and everything in between, writing may result in significant emotional responses that the writer and facilitator should acknowledge. The hope is that these responses will be welcomed as a vehicle to gain further personal insight. Naturally there is an element of education involved in helping others explore the numerous possibilities for discovery through creative writing. The teaching, however, is secondary to the primary aim of self-exploration. In other words, users should not get too hung up on technique because the focus of this book is not on the skill of writing itself, but rather how to use writing as a method to help achieve a more articulate expression of feelings. The activities presented in this book can be accomplished alone, with a friend, or with a trusted assistant to help to better understand the directions for each activity. In any event, the activities should be conducted to promote social and emotional growth. The Therapeutic Value of Creative Writing can go a long way toward helping the user or someone he or she cares about. This easy-to-use workbook serves as a guide and offers space to record personal life experiences, autobiographical notes, goals for the future, anger management plans, and much more. Engaging writing prompts and exercises make it easy for individuals of all learning styles to succeed. Simple, direct language helps users who may struggle feel at ease. This workbook truly has the potential to reshape lives. Read A Review
