Land and Power in Hawaii: The Democratic Years

George Cooper, Gavan Daws

University of Hawaii Press, 1990

The Bottom Line of Influence Here In the Land of Aloha
Cooper and Daws thoroughly document the shifts in land and power of the last century. For anyone living here (especially on Oahu) wondering how our islands became this way developmentally, this book is a must read. Personally, living in Salt Lake and a good portion of my life in Makakilo, this book gave excellent information as to who the players were (many estates still with tremendous clout ...

Follow the Music: The Life and High Times of Elektra Records in the Great Years of American Pop Culture

Jac Holzman, Gavan Daws

Jawbone Press, 2000

Top Shelf
One of the best books on the music industry I have ever read. When you read a book about a band or artist, or about an era in music or whatever, what you mostly want is to feel like you were there at the time these people were recording and gigging and just being bands. Follow the Music gives you a first-class seat in Elektra's offices, at its artists' concerts, in rehearsal spaces, in ...

Holy Man: Father Damien of Molokai

Gavan Daws

University of Hawaii Press, 1989

Undoubtedly the most scholarly work yet on this topic.
"Holy Man" is undoubtedly the finest and most scholarly work to date on this topic. Prior to Daws' work, the overwhelming majority of books on this topic have been somewhat biased as they were produced by Catholic clergy and lay writers. Daws has brought the secular historian's skill to this subject and has produced a truly balanced account of the life and work of Father Joseph DeVeuster. Only ...

Archipelago : Islands of Indonesia

4 reviews
Gavan Daws, Marty Fujita

University of California Press, 1999

Tropical splendor and historical significance.
This beautiful coffee table book goes far beyond presenting the tropical and exotic beauty of this complex archipelago. True, outstanding photos highlight the natural splendor, rich culture and exotic architecture. But the authors also explore its historical significance, beginning with Wallace's 19th century discoveries in biogeography, continuing through the current, looming ecological crisis ...

imperial devil race
Japan has committed some of the world's worst atrocities in history (nanking massacre, unit 731, batton death march, comfort women, pearl harbor, ect..) and they still refuse to apologize, compensate, or make an accurate history in there textbooks. Why is Japan so cowardly and instead try to make their amends to their victims of the horrible crimes against humanity. No wonder people call Japan a ...
