The Other Side, Rastaman Vibrations depicts the turbulence of Jamaican life in the 1960s-early ‘70s through the passions of 14 year-old Frances Ayee, daughter of Pastor George Ayee. Frances reflected everything that was good and pure in the world. Her love of life was as virtuous and genuine as the smile which she wore and it was as delicate as the flowers which she held. Vilified and forsaken, Frances is thrust into a world of confused voices and turbulent measures. She finds herself pitted against the moral code that is the church’s foundry. Upon giving birth to her son Julius, she is whisked off to New York city to live with her estranged aunt Beverley. Against a backdrop of the Diaspora and simmering civil unrest, young Julius is encouraged by Rasta as he wrestles with love, truth and life. What he learns surpasses human desire as he comes to a keen understanding of the hidden purpose of his own destiny.

Focusing on the years during and immediately after the Civil War, this study chronicles the extensive contributions made by Isherwood in expanding the size and scope of the U.S. Navy.
This work addresses many persistent misconceptions of what the monitors were for, and why they failed in other roles associated with naval operations of the Civil War (such as the repulse at Charleston, April 7, 1863). Monitors were 'ironclads'- not fort-killers. Their ultimate success is to be measured not in terms of spearheading attacks on fortified Southern ports but in the quieter, much more profound, strategic deterrence of Lord Palmerston's ministry in London, and the British Royal Navy's potential intervention. The relatively unknown 'Cold War' of the American Civil War was a nevertheless crucial aspect of the survival, or not, of the United States in the mid 19th-century. Foreign in...
