Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended as a general introduction to the ethnobotany of the Hawaiians and as such it presumes, on the part of the reader, little background in either botany or Hawaiian ethnology. It describes the plants themselves, whether cultivated or brought from the forests, streams, or ocean, as well as the modes of cultivation and collection. It discusses the preparation and uses of the plant materials, and the methods employed in building houses and making canoes, wearing apparel, and the many other artifacts that were part of the material culture associated with this farming and fishing people.

Download or read book Hawai'i Plant World Essentials written by Jaya C. Dupuis and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-04-09 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This plant identification guide offers a practical and fundamental approach to helping landowners and local residents make informed decisions about plant control and propagation choices in Hawai'i. It offers lists and images of the most common Hawaii lowland plant species according to native, Polynesian-introduced, and invasive species distinctions. The goal of this work is to promote more awareness of Hawai'i vegetation species, issues, and solutions; inspire appreciation and re-integration of native species into the lowland environment; and support the control of invasive species that threaten not only native forest integrity, but environmental balance at large. Despite some plant variations, the information provided in this booklet can generally be helpful to landscapes across the Hawaiian Islands. As we continue to lose many native ecosystems to urbanization, agriculture, and invasive species in Hawai'i, there is a growing need to restore and conserve a full range of native biodiversity and forest types across the entire elevation gradient. Though the process of invasion by exotic species at lower elevations cannot be entirely reversed, remaining native plant species and communities can be supported in their re-establishment and resilience. With focused community awareness and intention, lowland vegetation communities, and the general lower elevation landscape, can be greatly improved in native biodiversity and ecosystem health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plants seldom figure in the grand narratives of war, peace, or even everyday life yet they are often at the center of high intrigue. In the eighteenth century, epic scientific voyages were sponsored by European imperial powers to explore the natural riches of the New World, and uncover the botanical secrets of its people. Bioprospectors brought back medicines, luxuries, and staples for their king and country. Risking their lives to discover exotic plants, these daredevil explorers joined with their sponsors to create a global culture of botany. But some secrets were unearthed only to be lost again. In this moving account of the abuses of indigenous Caribbean people and African slaves, Schiebinger describes how slave women brewed the "peacock flower" into an abortifacient, to ensure that they would bear no children into oppression. Yet, impeded by trade winds of prevailing opinion, knowledge of West Indian abortifacients never flowed into Europe. A rich history of discovery and loss, Plants and Empire explores the movement, triumph, and extinction of knowledge in the course of encounters between Europeans and the Caribbean populations.
