It's every parrothead's dream: to leave behind the rat race of the workaday world and start life all over again amidst the cool breezes, sun-drenched colors, and rum-laced drinks of a tropical paradise. It's the story of Norman Paperman, a New York City press agent who, facing the onset of middle age, runs away to a Caribbean island to reinvent himself as a hotel keeper. (Hilarity and disaster - of a sort peculiar to the tropics - ensue.)

This is a great book which was very entertaining. It is a great tale of escape and love. Also a lesson to ask questions before buying a business to run outside of the U. S. I highly recommend this book!

In this short and powerful book, celebrated philosopher Martha Nussbaum makes a passionate case for the importance of the liberal arts at all levels of education. Historically, the humanities have been central to education because they have been seen as essential for creating competent democratic citizens. But recently, Nussbaum argues, thinking about the aims of education has gone disturbingly awry in the United States and abroad.

Nussbaum makes a compelling arguement for anyone who is trying to save the Humanities or advocate for why the Humanities are important for inclusion in public school systems to higher education. The book builds upon the idea of the importance of democracy, Socratic questioning, and provides historical and present day examples from the United States and around the world where Humanties programs are working, where they are under threat, and where the Humanities are being added back into programs for educational and economical reasons.
