Abstract

When a natural disaster strikes, one imposing obstacle always impedes recovery: the need to rebuild. Not just homes, schools, and other buildings but also lives must be reconstructed. Yet amid the horror there is also the opportunity to build back better, to create more resilient buildings and deeper human connections. After Haiti's 2010 earthquake, architect Paul E. Fallon wanted to help rebuild the magic island he had visited the previous summer. Over the next three years, he made seventeen trips to design and supervise construction of an orphanage and a school in Grand Goâve. In the process, he confronted the challenges of building in a country with sparse materials and with laborers predisposed toward magic over physics. Architecture by Moonlight is about much more than construction, however. Readers will also experience the many relationships Fallon developed as he balanced the contradictory demands of a boisterous American family constructing a memorial for their deceased daughter and Evangelical missionaries more interested in saving souls than filling bellies. Dieunison, a wily Haitian orphan, captured Fallon's heart and exemplifies both Haiti's tragedy and its indomitable spirit. Fallon's personal experience is an eloquent tale of "an ensemble of incomplete people struggling in a land of great trial and great promise, trying to better understand their place on Earth." He reveals how, when seemingly different people come together, we succeed by seeking our commonality. Architecture by Moonlight illustrates our strength to rise above disaster and celebrate recovery, perseverance, and humanity.

Abstract

Marilène Phipps-Kettlewell's award-winning stories transport you to Haiti-to a lush, lyrical, flamboyant, and spirit-filled Haiti where palm trees shine wet with moonlight and the sky paints a yellow screen over your head and the ocean sparkles with thousands of golden eyes-and keep you there forever. Her singular characters mysteriously address the deeper meanings of human existence. They also dream of escape, whether from themselves, from family, from Vodou, from financial and cultural difficulties and the politicians that create them, or from the country itself, but Haiti will forever remai

Abstract

L’étude présentée par l’auteur est divisée en une introduction et cinq parties. Dans la première partie, sont étudiés les caractères géographiques et géologiques généraux de la République d’Haïti (situation géographique et relief, histoire géologique, caractères tectoniques généraux). La seconde partie, qui est la plus étendue, est consacrée à l’étude de la géologie régionale de la République d’Haïti. L’étude de chacune des treize unités structurales comporte : l’examen de son extension, de ses caractères généraux et de sa géologie générale (roches sédimentaires, roches ignées, structure, géomorphologie). La troisième partie est intitulée : Paléontologie. Elle consiste en un examen de la répartition stratigraphique des fossiles d’Haïti. L’étude porte essentiellement sur les grands Foraminifères, examinés en plaques minces. 700 plaques minces, correspondant à 428 localités fossilifères ont été étudiées. L’âge des roches correspondantes est compris entre le Crétacé supérieur et le Miocène inférieur. La microfaune permet d’établir une zonation de l’Oligocène et du Miocène inférieur et cinq zones ont pu être séparées. Des tables indiquent la répartition des fossiles, sous-Système par sous-Système. La quatrième partie est consacrée à une étude pétrographique des roches ignées et métamorphiques dont l’examen n’avait pas été réalisé par les auteurs antérieurs. Elle est peu développée, la plupart des types d’Haïti ayant déjà été étudiés en détail par W. S. Burbank, in Woodring &al. (1924). La cinquième partie et dernière est consacrée aux ressources minières. Elle est également peu étendue, car Woodring & al. les avaient étudiées en détail et, postérieurement, deux bulletins de l’U. S. Geological Survey ont été consacrés l’un aux gîtes d’aluminium et l’autre à ceux de manganèse. Une bibliographie aussi complète que possible des publications consacrées à la géologie de la République d’Haïti et des références citées est adjointe, ainsi qu’un index. L’illustration…
