Glory By The Wayside takes you on a tour of old Hawaii away from the resorts and crowded beaches to glorious settings of incomparable beauty. From the Victorian architecture of St. Benedict s in Honaunau with its hand-painted interior to the Molokai churches of Father Damien, this is a picture book about the old hand-made churches that dot the Hawaiian Islands with an introduction to their history and architecture. Each of the 37 churches featured has a story to tell often a story of the first immigrants to Hawaii the Germans, the Portuguese, the Chinese, the Japanese and the Filipinos. Included is information on the oldest church in Hawaii, the churches where royalty once worshiped, the site of aviator Charles Lindberg s grave, as well as representations from the Big Island, Kauai, Lanai, Maui, Molokai and Oahu, and includes all of the churches listed on the National Register of Historic Places. While by no means complete, this exquisite sampler invites the reader to venture out and make their own discoveries among the scores of other old churches in Hawaii.

The fascinating story behind the company that revolutionized the financial world Catching Lightning in a Bottle traces the complete history of Merrill Lynch and the company's substantial impact on the world of finance, from the birth of the once-mighty company to its inauspicious end. Throughout its ninety-four year history, Merrill Lynch revolutionized finance by bringing Wall Street to Main Street, operating under a series of guidelines known as the Principles. These values allowed the company to gain the trust of small investors by putting the clients' interests first, driving a business trajectory that expanded capital markets and fueled the growth of the American post-war economy. Written by the son of Merrill Lynch co-founder Winthrop H. Smith, this book describes the creation and evolution of the company from Charlie Merrill's one-man shop in 1914 to its acquisition by Bank of America in 2008. Author Winthrop H. Smith Jr. spent twenty-eight years at the company his father co-founded, bringing a unique perspective to bear in telling the story of the company that democratized the stock market and eventually fell from its lofty perch. <ul>
