About Hawai'i The Pacific State
Hawaiʻi: The Pacific State is a complete, accurate, and up-to-date history of Hawaiʻi. Illustrated with historic as well as modern color photographs, it covers the formation of the islands, the arrival of plants and animals, the coming of the first Hawaiians, island life until Captain Cook’s arrival in 1778, and the resulting development of Pacific trade. From warring chiefs to strong kings, form a monarchy to a territory, the political evolution of Hawaiʻi is traced through the world wars and statehood to the present-day sovereignty movement. Chapters on the individual islands, the changes in agricultural production, the renaissance of Hawaiian culture, and island holidays and festivals make Hawaiʻi: The Pacific State an ideal school text or reference book for the entire family.
