Aprašymas

"Ancient Hawaiian Civilization" takes us back to Hawaii's stone age, when there wasn't an alphabet, numbering system, or other civilized distinctions as we know them. Still rules of living, modes, and customs permitted large numbers of people to live healthfully and happily throughout the islands.
"ANCIENT HAWAIIAN CIVILIZATION" is must reading for anyone who has been, wants to go, or lives in America 's 50th State. This book authoritatively introduces the general reader to what was once a golden era of Hawaiian history and culture, the time when the islands were strictly Hawaiian Hawaii. Though the islands are almost completely westernized today, many facets from this golden age remain to make America's 50th State a living laboratory for the cultural and social study of racial migration and assimilation. This volume represents the knowledge and experience of no less than 16 scholars.
The authors are: E. S. Craighill Handy, Edwin H. Bryon, Jr., Mrs. Lahilahi Webb, Peter H. Buck, Kenneth P. Emory, Albert F. Judd, Huc M. Luquiens, John H. Wise, Thomas Maunupau, Rev. Henry P. Judd, Jane Lathrop Winne, Edith Rice Plews, Juliet Rice Wichman, Nils P. Larsen, Charles H. Edmondson, and Harold S. Palmer.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS
The combined areas of specialization by no less than 16 authors have been
carefully selected and grouped to make up this volume. Together, the authors comprise a truly formidable forum of Hawaiian thought and learning. Ethnologists,
geologists, zoologists, and medical doctors are but a few of the areas of specialization represented in these pages. Several of the authors have died
since "Ancient Hawaiian Civilization" was first published in 1933. Their biographical profiles have been updated to include new research work to
the time of their deaths.
