Book excerpt: A century ago, a flight to Hawaii was a twenty-six-hour journey across 2,400 miles of the open Pacific. The US Navy tried first; then Army Air Corps aviators and a civilian pilot informally raced each other to Hawaii in the weeks after Charles Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic. Finally came the Dole Derby, an unprecedented 1927 air race in which eight planes set off at once across the Pacific, all eager to claim a cash prize offered by Pineapple King, James Dole. The pilots encountered every type of hazard during their perilous flights, from fuel shortages to failed engines, forced sea landings and severe fatigue to navigational errors. Ryan chronicles these early attempts to open Hawaii to flights from the West Coast. -- adapted from Amazon.com info.

Download or read book Hawaii written by James A. Michener and published by Dial Press. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 1154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulitzer Prize–winning author James A. Michener brings Hawaii’s epic history vividly to life in a classic saga that has captivated readers since its initial publication in 1959. As the volcanic Hawaiian Islands sprout from the ocean floor, the land remains untouched for centuries—until, little more than a thousand years ago, Polynesian seafarers make the perilous journey across the Pacific, flourishing in this tropical paradise according to their ancient traditions. Then, in the early nineteenth century, American missionaries arrive, bringing with them a new creed and a new way of life. Based on exhaustive research and told in Michener’s immersive prose, Hawaii is the story of disparate peoples struggling to keep their identity, live in harmony, and, ultimately, join together. BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from James A. Michener's Centennial. Praise for Hawaii “Wonderful . . . [a] mammoth epic of the islands.”—The Baltimore Sun “One novel you must not miss! A tremendous work from every point of view—thrilling, exciting, lusty, vivid, stupendous.”—Chicago Tribune “From Michener’s devotion to the islands, he has written a monumental chronicle of Hawaii, an extraordinary and fascinating novel.”—Saturday Review “Memorable . . . a superb biography of a people.”—Houston Chronicle

Download or read book Lost Kingdom written by Julia Flynn Siler and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-01-03 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times–bestselling author delivers “a riveting saga about Big Sugar flexing its imperialist muscle in Hawaii . . . A real gem of a book” (Douglas Brinkley, author of American Moonshot). Deftly weaving together a memorable cast of characters, Lost Kingdom brings to life the clash between a vulnerable Polynesian people and relentlessly expanding capitalist powers. Portraits of royalty and rogues, sugar barons, and missionaries combine into a sweeping tale of the Hawaiian Kingdom’s rise and fall. At the center of the story is Lili‘uokalani, the last queen of Hawai‘i. Born in 1838, she lived through the nearly complete economic transformation of the islands. Lucrative sugar plantations gradually subsumed the majority of the land, owned almost exclusively by white planters, dubbed the “Sugar Kings.” Hawai‘i became a prize in the contest between America, Britain, and France, each seeking to expand their military and commercial influence in the Pacific. The monarchy had become a figurehead, victim to manipulation from the wealthy sugar plantation owners. Lili‘u was determined to enact a constitution to reinstate the monarchy’s power but was outmaneuvered by the United States. The annexation of Hawai‘i had begun, ushering in a new century of American imperialism. “An important chapter in our national history, one that most Americans don’t know but should.” —The New York Times Book Review “Siler gives us a riveting and intimate look at the rise and tragic fall of Hawaii’s royal family . . . A reminder that Hawaii remains one of the most breathtaking places in the world. Even if the kingdom is lost.” —Fortune “[A] well-researched, nicely contextualized history . . . [Indeed] ‘one of the most audacious land grabs of the Gilded Age.’” —Los Angeles Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mayflower sailed from England in 1620. Aboard were John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley. At one point during the voyage John was washed into the sea in a violent storm and nearly drowned. He was saved by a boat hook wielded by one of the crew. Elizabeth's parents and siblings would perish before the first spring in Plymouth Colony. Thirteen-year-old Elizabeth survived. She and John would later marry. Richard Dole, despite being the eldest son of William Dole and, through the system of primogeniture and in line to inherit a substantial property in the area of Bristol, England, was apprenticed to John Lowell. Mr. Lowell was a 'glover' of Bristol. In 1639, he sailed on the ship Jonathan for New England, bringing Richard Dole with him. Eventually these two lines would merge. Their descendants would gather Royal lineage from both English and French crowns. Relationship has additionally been proven to the late Princess of Wales and the current English monarchy. Daniel Dole became a missionary dedicated to bringing Christianity to the natives and saving the souls of the "heathen" of the Sandwich Islands - later known as the Hawaiian Islands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An astonishing collection of 171 interviews with Clinton’s friends, foes, admirers, and detractors as well as reporters and political analysts.”—Booklist (starred review). Though Bill Clinton has been out of office since 2001, public fascination with him continues unabated. Many books about Clinton have been published in recent years, but shockingly, no single-volume biography covers the full scope of Clinton’s life from the cradle to the present day, not even Clinton’s own account, My Life. More troubling still, books on Clinton have tended to be highly polarized, casting the former president in an overly positive or negative light. In this, the first complete oral history of Clinton’s life, historian Michael Takiff presents the first truly balanced book on one of our nation’s most controversial and fascinating presidents. Through more than 150 chronologically arranged interviews with key figures—including Bob Dole, James Carville, and Tom Brokaw, among many others—A Complicated Man goes far beyond the well-worn party-line territory to capture the larger-than-life essence of Clinton the man. With the tremendous attention given to the Lewinsky scandal, it is easy to overlook the president’s humble upbringing, as well as his many achievements at home and abroad: the longest economic boom in American history, a balanced budget, successful intervention in the Balkans, and a series of landmark, if controversial, free-trade agreements. Through the candid recollections of Takiff’s many subjects, A Complicated Man leaves no area unexplored, revealing the most complete and unexpected portrait of our forty-second president published to date. “Packed with fascinating personal perspective and testimony.”—Nigel Hamilton, bestselling and award-winning author of American Caesars
