In Hawaii, Land of Volcanoes the reader is taken on a great visual adventure. You can follow the life of volcanoes, from their birth deep under the oceanlike the still-submerged Loihito their growth into stone giants like Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, and ultimately through their erosion, decay and return to the world below the sea. Each of these stages presents modern viewers with some of the most dramatic scenery on the planet. Mountains anchored to the seafloor have snowy summits three miles above the surface of the ocean. Coastal cliffs plunge more than a thousand feet from rainforests down to raging surf. Coral-ringed shores create ivory sand beaches.

Many people think of Oahu and remember the small parts they know best. A particular beach. A favorite restaurant. A hotel pool or a mountain pool. The feeling of standing at the USS Arizona Memorial. The view over the Pali Lookout. In this volume, the many parts of the island, the remarkable range of views, are brought together in one place. Readers can compare the windward beaches with those on the leeward side, can inspect the mountainsides and the broad valleys, and in many cases can see things none but the most experienced islander ever sees.

Generations of Hawai'i's residents have been raised on stories about the Menehune as magical and mischievous little people, living primarily in the mists of Island forests, in the history of our oldest places, and at the very edge of our vision.But Menehune are far more than a fairy tale, and there is ample evidence that the tradition has changed dramatically over time. Across 30 years of research, journalist and historian Jan TenBruggencate has tracked down the Menehune tale's many tendrils. Today's Menehune stories are drawn from separate traditions-the Menehune of O'ahu, the Melehuna of Kaua'i, and tales from other Pacific islands. The Menehune of the earliest stories in the earliest traditions are very different from those we recognize today.Menehune Mystery is a retelling of favorite narratives: The 'Alekoko fishpond, the K?k?-a-Ola aqueduct, Laka's canoe, the wizard Kahano-a-newa and K?-leo-nui, and Kamapua'a's house, among others. It is also a forensic analysis of the myth's trajectory. Were Menehune the ancestors of Hawai'i's people? Did the famous Wainiha Menehune census actually take place? Which storytellers carried the stories forward faithfully? Who were the narrators who twisted the tale to suit their own objectives? And what evidence exists that little people might once have existed in Polynesia?
