St. Martin in Sight | Gerda Heil & Riet Sint

Mooi boek (gebonden, harde kaft, ca. A4-formaat, 102 blz.) met uitgebreide informatie over allerlei aspecten van Sint Maarten: geschiedenis, geografie, natuur, bestuur, maatschappij, kunst & cultuur en economie. Fraai geïllustreerd. Prima te gebruiken als reisgids naar dit eiland, waar verder nauwelijks reisgidsen van bestaan. Engelstalig. De twee Nederlandse auteurs wonen er sinds de zeventiger jaren en kennen het eiland van A tot Z. | 'St. Martin in Sight' explores in simple terms and colourful photographs the many different aspects of life on St.Martin: its culture, history, geography, political and social structures and many other subjects of importance to the character and individuality of the island. It has been written with interests and abilities of adolescent readers in mind. 'St. Martin in Sight' aims at broadening young people's knowledge of their living environment in order to stimulate present-day nation building and identity awareness, based on St.Martin's culture and heritage. As 'St. Martin in Sight' provides a host of information about the island, it may be of interest to other residents and tourists as well. Gerda Heil and Riet Sint have lived on St. Martin since the nineteen seventies. They both worked in primary and secundary education. With this book they hope to stimulate enthusiasm in young and old to deepen their understanding of the characteristic features of St.Martin.
