Pedal Steel Guitar Winston/Keith (Music Sales America)10 reviews

Music Sales America, 1992
Winnie Winston: Start your Pedal Steel Guitar Journey!!!
I've never loved the sound of an instrument quite as much as the Pedal Steel Guitar. It nearly defines Country Music since the 1950s, but WHO can actuall name a prominent Pedal Steel player? You know of Sneeky Pete Kleinow (recently deceased), or Lloyd Green, the steel players who made "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" by the Byrds the FIRST country-rock classic? By the way, the intro to "Nothing Was ...

Hawaiian Quilting: Instructions and Full-Size Patterns for 20 Blocks (Dover Needlework)13 reviews
Elizabeth Root
Dover Publications, 1989
Hawaiian Quilting: Instructions and Full Size Patterns for 20 Blocks
When I was a student at school, the most common behaviour statement I received in the whole 12 years of education was "Judith is easily distracted". I used to think that was a bad thing, but as I've aged I've come to appreciate that being distracted is a positive in my character. I believe the fact that I'm easily distracted is the reason I have such a vast love of so many of the genres of ...

HAMMONASSET HOUSE BOOKS, 2008
You Inner Hawaiian Vacation
Yes, after reading Lee's book, I feel I have been to Hawaii and back all in one night. His book is a magical carpet ride and a treasure trove of passion and sensitivity. Keen observations of outer and inner life bring about a thoughtful contemplation and peace in a thoroughly riveting and entertaining experience. The stories shed some critical light on society's deeper shadows but in a way ...

Remembering Diamond Head, Remembering Hawai'i10 reviews
Lisa Parola Gaynier, Shirley Tong Parola
Diamond Hawaii Press, 1999
A great book for the culinary challenged
I'm a Hawaii native now living in Bloomington Indiana. I was not able to see Shirley in person when she was here earlier this month for a book signing / cooking demonstration. I did buy her book anyway and it is really great. Why? I'm not exactly the best cook by any means, but through Shirley and Lisa's honest, open, and interesting commentaries, one can actually learn about the history, ...

The Secrets and Mysteries of Hawaii: A Call to the Soul42 reviews
Pila of Hawaii, Pila Chiles
HCI, 1995
Aloha
Pila shares the secrets of the Kahuna that has for thousands of years been hidden. The concepts described in this book in a simple method is what intrigues me about the author. He has been able to convey these ancient secrets to anyone who can read and who understands the true meaning of aloha. The three points of super energy are revealed where we can teleport to the other dimensions. How ...

Hawaiian Dictionary: Hawaiian-English, English-Hawaiian8 reviews
University of Hawaii Press, 1975
This is a must have if you are interested in the Hawaiian language.
This is an excellent book to use as a tool for any level, from a beginner who is just started to learn to a native speaker as a quick reference guide. Since both languages are used to find words and definitions it is a very user friendly book and easily navigated. It is a must have!

Kristen Marie Haight
Tate Publishing, 2008
Surfs-up and great books are in - in Hawaii and on the mainland
I really loved reading this beautiful Hawaiian fiction love story. Although less than 16,000 words, it kept my attention. I didn't want to put it down. Ideal for teens/tweens, young women and seasoned adults too. Basically, anyone in touch with their "feminine side," or anyone who believes in true love and romance. Mothers: it will be especially meaningful to you. It's even a nice read for ...

The Ultimate Guide to Hawaiian Reef Fishes: Sea Turtles, Dolphins, Whales, and Seals8 reviews
John P. Hoover
Mutual Publishing, 2008
Just like it says...The Ultimate Guide
There are quite a few books out there on Hawaii's reef fishes, but Hoover is one of the top authors. The photos in this books are spectacular and the number of species included is unparalleled. This is the underwater guide you don't want to be without especially if you are on a dive trip to Hawaii. Great for academic research, or just the casual marine enthusiast. I use all of Hoover's books on a ...

Ano Ano: The Seed6 reviews
Kristin Zambucka
Mana Pub. Co, 1984
If your seeking "the answer" this book will give it to you.
I keep this book close by so that I can refer to it often. It helps me remember "the truth" that we so easily forget in our hectic lives -the reason we are here in the first place. Whenever I feel lost or alone I just open it up (no matter what page) and read that passage. It always seems to bring me back "home". A WONDERFUL GIFT - THE GIFT OF TRUTH. I'm sending a copy to all of my close ...

Hawai`i Unbuttoned: A Practical Guide to Buying and Selling True-Vintage Hawaiian Shirts6 reviews
Craig Callaway
BookSurge Publishing, 2009
Do Not Shop for Hawai'ian Shirts on eBay Without This Book!
I just recently started to collect Hawai'ian shirts and I wish I had found this book prior to my first few purchases. It tells you everything you need to know to figure out if the "vintage" shirt you're looking at is from the '40s, '50s or the 90s. I've had my copy one week now and it is already dog-eared beyond being able to close properly. The guide on how to measure a shirt and the chapter on ...

Chasing Lava: A Geologist's Adventures at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory6 reviews
Wendell A. Duffield
Mountain Press Publishing Company, 2003
"Chasing Lava" a great read
"Chasing Lava" is excellent. Without being textbookish, Duffield explains the basic workings of Hawaiian volcanism, enabling readers to practically teach it to friends. Above and beyond that, Duffield gives a glimpse of what it's like to be a field scientist who flat out likes his work. Oh, that we could all enjoy our career work as much as Duffield enjoys his. And don't miss the amazing ...
