The Ultimate Guide to Hawaiian Reef Fishes: Sea Turtles, Dolphins, Whales, and Seals 8 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 ...

This book contained many design ideas and options that I hadn't considered. The pictures effectively explain and amplify the textual material. It was well worth the price.

Shoal of Time: A History of the Hawaiian Islands 22 reviews
Gavan Daws
University of Hawaii Press, 1989
Haoles in Hawaii
It is true that Daws has a western scholar's perspective, he is, after all, a western scholar. This hardly invalidates the history he has written any more than it would invalidate a history of the continental U.S. not written from the perspective of the native people. Similarly, it is unfair to criticize a book because it is not all-inclusive. This book outlines the history of Hawaii between ...

Hawaii: A Novel108 reviews
James A. Michener
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2002
Impressive
I've never read Michener's work before, but this book left me awed with his knowledge of history and storytelling ability. The book begins with a brief section on the formation of the islands, then plunges into a novella (100 pages) about the arrival of the original Polynesian settlers. After that, it jumps forward again to the 1820s and the arrival of the New England missionaries. After this ...

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 ...

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!

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 ...

Hawaiian Stickers (Dover Little Activity Books)1 review
Y. S. Green
Dover Publications, 1999
Hawaiian Stickers
These are lovely sticker booklets. I have ordered and received three of them. I am teaching my class about Hawaii, its fauna, history, culture, etc and then the kids prepare their own folder about Hawaii. I have a small claee and can give each kid a number of stickers to adorn their folders. Excellent purchase.
The packaging of the items was sturdy and the delivery was timely as well.

Eddie Would Go: The Story of Eddie Aikau, Hawaiian Hero and Pioneer of Big Wave Surfing8 reviews
Stuart Holmes Coleman
St. Martin's Griffin, 2004
Inspiring Book
Stuart Holmes Coleman did a wonderful job displaying the life of Eddie Aikau. The story entailed plenty of Hawaiian history and culture while telling Eddie's moving life story. The book also displays the difficulties of being Hawaiian and gives a good background of his loving family. Eddie was the first one to surf big waves, and I mean big (40-50ft.). He is a Hawaiian idol because he ...

A precious classic of Hawaiian traditions
This new edition of the classic book is simply wonderful. As the editor of the Bishop Museum book on Hawaiian healing and of Hawaiian Massage Lomilomi: Sacred Touch of Aloha, I look first to the lineage of information provided. This book is based on in-depth interviews with members of the Kame'ekua family of the island of Moloka'i. The author worked as a researcher for the Bishop Museum where she ...

A Beautiful Book!
I ordered The Hawaiian House Now knowing that I would like it. I love anything related to Hawaii. But I had no idea that this book would be such a beautiful book. I knew it would make a great coffee table piece, but I didn't really think I'd read it. I thought I would browse through it and look at all of the beautiful homes. Well, I have read the whole book! It is a wonderful read, and of ...

Outstanding Photo Album for the Hawaiian Voice
*****
This small book is a beautiful gift book for those readers who have an interest in Hawaiian history and the Hawaiian people. On the left side of each page is a beautiful black-and-white photo, and on the right side a narrative, a quote, or poem that attempts to tell the story of the wounds of the people of Hawaii---a people who were robbed of their land and their culture---tragically.
