Coming to live in Belize

I want to learn everything I can about this country. Two priorities of mine are growing food and medicines in this different climate and its history. Both these interests have equal priority, so I started buying books which I prefer to e-books. If your interests are similar to mine here are some books that you might find useful.

‘Messages from the Gods’: A guide to the useful plants of Belize by Michael J. Balick and Rosita Arvigo

‘Ix Hmen U Tzaco Ah Maya’: Maya Herbal Medicine by Aurora Garcia Saqui

‘Food of the gods’: Vegetarian cooking in Belize by Rosita Arvigo

‘Rainforest Remedies’: One Hundred Healing Herbs of Belize by Rosita Arvigo and Michael Balick

‘Fire Heart’: The life and Teachings of Traditional Maya Healer Ms. Beatrice Torres Waight

‘Sastun’ My apprenticeship with a Maya Healer by Rosita Arvido with Nadine Epstein

‘The Last Flight of the Scarlet Macaw’: One Woman’s Fight to Save the World’s Most Beautiful Bird by Bruce Barcott

‘Open Veins of Latin America’: Five centuries of the Pillage of a Continent by Eduardo Galeano (a very difficult book to read, not for the faint hearted)

‘Jaguar: One Man’s struggle to establish the World’s First Jaguar Preserve’: Another book about the fight to keep the Jaguars safe is by Alan Rabinowitz

Hope you all enjoy learning more about the country many of us have chosen to live in.
