Uppers, Downers, All Arounders, Fifth Edition 24 reviews
Darryl Inaba, William E. Cohen, ...
CNS Publications, 2003
review
So far I've only gotten throught the first chapter. It's a dense amount of information, but it is incredibly well written and informative. No extra words just to take up space and get something into book format. It's definetly a text book. The first chapter gives you an extensive review of the human relationship with drugs since the beginning of time, and forty pages later, I feel enlightened and ...

Karen Kingsbury #1 Writer~
Anyone who has ever read any of Karens books knows that there is no other writer in this day and age that hits every emotion that we all go through in this life, in our own search for why we are here, who we are, and the battles that can and do happen in this life.
The number one moral is that Gods Love and our love for others is the strength to keep us all carrying on in this journey in ...

Terri Blackstock
Zondervan, 2006
Continuation of a spellbinding story
In this second book Terri Blackstock continues her story of a world thrown into chaos by way of a "starpluse" which has rendered the use of all modern technology useless. Terri Blackstock explores how our world might "look" if this were to happen, how some grow in their faith, love, and selflessness while others grow in their selfishness, sin, and evil. A griping story of orphaned children in a ...

Too Fat to Fish
Artie Lange, Anthony Bozza
Spiegel & Grau, 2008
When good-for-little stand-up comic Artie Lange joined the permanent cast of The Howard Stern Show in 2001, it was nothing short of a renaissance in the Stern universe. The Stern juggernaut has never slowed since its 80s heyday, but Lange provided what Stern had yet to find all in the same place: a wit quick enough to keep pace with his own, a pathetic self-image to dwarf his own, a personal history both heartbreaking and hilarious, and an ...

New Pocket Hawaiian Dictionary: With a Concise Grammar and Given Names in Hawaiian8 reviews
Mary Kawena Pukui, Samuel H. Elbert
University of Hawaii Press, 1992
A great little resource.
This book has around 11,000 words with adequate definitions. I like the fact that the people that compiled this dictionary included names and even a guide to assist in pronounciation. This nook is not an exhaustive researh on the Hawaiian language; but will greatly assist in research; Two Bears. Aloha nui loa (I love you very much).

Good text book !
Last month in Waikiki, I bought this book together with some souvenirs at the famous ABC store.
Yes,You can find it easily.
It was the last day of my visit to Hawaii this time.

Hawaii Remembered From Those Influential Years
This book transported me back to those years when I grew up in Hawaii and was exposed through friends and parties to so many of these kind of houses. I see Hawaii house decor being such an accumulation of all that is good about Hawaii - reflection of its spirit and early settlers and Hawaiian aspect. I live in New Zealand and decorate ALL my houses with a strong Hawaii/South Pacific/New Zealand ...

Understanding the Purpose and Power of Men8 reviews
Myles Munroe
Whitaker House, 2002
'Help' I Need To Understand Men
I have always had a fascination with understanding people particularly men, maybe this stems from the fact that I was very close to my father (now deceased) and brother when I was younger. What affected them had a direct knock on effect on me and the rest of the family. As I grew older and entered my first relationship I started to recognise a pattern of self destruction in men and I needed to ...

This is a cute version of the Gingerbread Man books, but in the Hawaii's stand point. IT's well written, and is a hardcover book. This book made me laugh, and made me remember my childhood growing up on Maui. The Hawaiian words are written on the back of the book for a reference in case you don't know what certain words mean, very good additon to the book. My children love this book and they are ...

Mary Kawena Pukui, Samuel H. Elbert
University of Hawaii Press, 1986
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!
