Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 7th, 1985, the Mameyes community became known to Puerto Rico and the world. A massive landslide destroyed a large portion of it and buried alive a large number of its residents. As a remembrance the government built a monument but it has been abandoned, vandalized and profaned despite the fact that the whole area is the final resting place of those whose bodies couldn't be recovered. What was Mameyes? How did the residents live? How did this tragedy happen? Why did it happen? These questions and others will be answered and we will remember the people who lived in Mameyes. This book seeks to bring attention towards a community that was an important part of life in the city of Ponce, so future generations know about Mameyes and that it is not forgotten.

Download or read book Living with the Puerto Rico Shore written by David M. Bush and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this, the eighteenth title in Duke University Press's Living With the Shore series, the authors present a "user's guide" to the coastal zone of Puerto Rico. Presenting a geological appraisal of the history, dynamics, and hazards of the island's coastline, Living With the Puerto Rico Shore is the first in the series to examine a tropical region and the first to examine an area outside the continental United States. The book provides detailed descriptions of the entire shoreline, noting the specific coastal hazards of each coastal reach. These hazards include coastal erosion, storm surge flooding, and potential damage from earthquakes. Where high-density development or significant roads and utilities are particularly at risk, these are also noted. The effects that sand mining, seawalls, jetties, and other attempts at coastal engineering have had on the island are examined. Finally, the authors discuss historical and legal aspects of coastal planning in Puerto Rico, presenting guidelines for selecting building sites. Of interest to all concerned with protecting our shores and beaches and useful to the coastal planner and manager, Living With the Puerto Rico Shore contains an extensive bibliography and a list of agencies involved in coastal issues.

Book Synopsis When the Sky Fell by : Michael Deibert
Download or read book When the Sky Fell written by Michael Deibert and published by Apollo Publishers. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A searing investigation of the factors that devastated Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria, from acclaimed investigative reporter Michael Deibert. When Hurricane Maria roared across Puerto Rico in September 2017, it devastated the island. It was an unprecedented natural disaster, a Category 5 major hurricane, and ultimately responsible for the deaths of more than 3,000 people. It also ripped away the facade that had dominated discussions of the island’s relationship with the United States for over a century. This is the first book to comprehensively expose what happened during Hurricane Maria, why Puerto Rico was so poorly prepared, and why a US territory, an island of American citizens, was largely ignored by the federal government in the wake of a catastrophic natural disaster. Using a blend of history and on-the-ground reportage, Michael Deibert pulls back the veil of the island known for its powdery beaches, rainforests, and apricot-and-lavender sunsets to reveal the trajectory for the decisions that set it on the path to the disaster that came during and in the wake of the storm, when its entire power grid and much of its water supply was knocked out. In doing so, he also reveals the stories of everyday heroism, compassion, and unexpected joy that have defined the island before and after Hurricane Maria.
