About this item

Two captivating manuscripts in one book: Ancient Hawaii: A Captivating Guide to Hawaiian Human History, Starting from the Polynesian Arrival through the Growth of a Civilization to Kamehameha the Great History of Hawaii: A Captivating Guide to Hawaiian History Just how did the ancient Hawaiians sail thousands of miles of open ocean without modern methods, without getting lost, and somehow finding new islands? How did such a rich culture even come to exist on perhaps the most isolated archipelago in the world? And is the nickname of a “beach island paradise” an accurate description of the various kinds of beautiful, intriguing, and sometimes even dangerous topographies and natural phenomena that make up Hawaiʻi? Learn the true answers to all these questions and much more in this book of the history of Hawaiʻi. Visualize your way through Hawaiʻi’s history with oral accounts, detailed descriptions, and various dates, facts, names, images, and events all woven into this one book! Compared to many other civilizations and peoples, the relatively short history of Hawaiʻi and its people have produced a cultural impact that punches way above the weight of its land size. Despite the global presence of their name and influence, the history of Hawaiʻi remains fairly unknown to most, a problem that this book seeks to remedy. Some of the topics covered in part 1 of this book: How the Polynesians were able to travel across 2,500 miles of ocean to find the Hawaiian Islands How these settlers set up their civilization and began to thrive in paradise What daily life was like for a native Hawaiian all those years ago How the islands were organized and how the people spent their days The mythology behind the beliefs that drove Hawaii’s society A white-knuckle ride into some of the most brutal conflicts fought in the name of unity and peace Insights into the leaders, heroes, and legends of Hawaii’s past The tale of how ancient Hawaiian society fell in with the modern Western world And so much more! Some of the topics covered in part 2 of this book: Looking through the lenses of archaeological evidence, linguistic clues, and oceanic legacies to unveil ancient Hawaiʻi Diving deep into ancient Hawaiian mythology, lore, and life Tracing the steps and developments of the Hawaiian kings and queens Building a great arc of the story behind this island nation’s historical trajectory Visualizing and understanding the challenges, tragedies, and triumphs of Hawaiʻi leading up to and through World War II Incorporating multifaceted modern sources to build a coherent and insightful take on modern Hawaiʻi Breakdowns of famous artifacts and people from the islands of Hawaiʻi And many other fresh and unknown facts of Hawaiʻi presented through a narrative designed to intrigue and engage.
