Book excerpt: Elegant, brutal, and profound—this magnificent debut captures the grit and glory of modern Hawai'i with breathtaking force and accuracy. In a stunning collection that announces the arrival of an incredible talent, Kristiana Kahakauwila travels the islands of Hawai'i, making the fabled place her own. Exploring the deep tensions between local and tourist, tradition and expectation, façade and authentic self, This Is Paradise provides an unforgettable portrait of life as it’s truly being lived on Maui, Oahu, Kaua'i and the Big Island. In the gut-punch of “Wanle,” a beautiful and tough young woman wants nothing more than to follow in her father’s footsteps as a legendary cockfighter. With striking versatility, the title story employs a chorus of voices—the women of Waikiki—to tell the tale of a young tourist drawn to the darker side of the city’s nightlife. “The Old Paniolo Way” limns the difficult nature of legacy and inheritance when a patriarch tries to settle the affairs of his farm before his death. Exquisitely written and bursting with sharply observed detail, Kahakauwila’s stories remind us of the powerful desire to belong, to put down roots, and to have a place to call home.

Book excerpt: "A nine-term U.S. senator and political patriarch is dead, leaving modern-day Hawai'i at a crossroads: crumbling public education at all levels, a crystal meth epidemic, Native Hawaiians getting shipped to Arizona prisons and class divisions so deep that even State Senator Russell Lee has to scramble to avoid eviction from his family's dream home. When an illegal gambling debt puts him even deeper in the hole, Russell's only way out is to go all in, joining forces with an up-and-coming young developer, a linked-up underworld kingpin and a Chinese casino magnate. Their goal? To sway an electorate easily distracted by a local media obsession with Hawai'i football into rolling the dice on the most unlikely legislative ambition in the state's history. Russ lays it all on the line in a battle that pits him against the "anointed" Democratic party favorite, an entrenched environmental movement and the long-lost righteous Hawaiian blood-brother he must convince to join him in the name of helping his people."--Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waikiki has always been a special place to the people of Hawai'i, but in recent years its mana, or spirit, has been lost--or more correctly--forgotten. The restoration of mana, requires looking back to the history of the community. To this end, George Kanahele, one of Hawai'i's most distinguished historians, has written the first comprehensive history of Waikiki. Dr. Kanahele describes the prehistoric origins of Waikiki and its cultural, economic, and political evolution. Once an important center of Hawaiian civilization, Waikiki collapsed in the wake of Westernization long before it became a popular tourist destination. Kanahele weaves an intricate and fascinating story using myths and legends, archaological and other scientific findings, and the works of Hawaiian historians and scholars. Waikiki 100 B.C. to 1900 A.D. will give readers a new sense of place and appreciation for Waikiki.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays chronicling the Jewish history of Chicago, from the late nineteenth century to the end of World War II. The history of Jews in Chicago is a fascinating, complex, and largely unknown story. Thanks to the unstinting efforts of Walter Roth, much of this history has been preserved. Now, for the first time, this material has been distilled into a single volume, chronicling events and people from the late nineteenth century to the end of World War II. There are six broad themes, each of which includes several essays: the first of which is “Chicago Jews and the Secular City: Builders, Movers, Shakers” about HL Mettes’s huge 1924 history of Chicago Jews; financier Lazarus Silverman; the U of C Centennial; Jewish participation in the World’s Columbian Exposition; Julius Rosenwald and the Museum of Science & Industry and the Jewish Day Pageant at the Century of Progress in 1933. The other five themes are “Chicago Jews and Anti-Semitism: Tragedy Abroad, Challenges at Home”; “Chicago Jews and Zionism: Local Idealists”; “Chicago Jews and Zionism: Renowned Visitors”; “Chicago Jews and the Arts: The Page and the Stage” and “Chicago Jews on Both Sides of the Law: Colorful Characters.” Anyone interested in Chicago history, ethnic history, Jewish history, will find Looking Backward a fascinating and informative read. Praise for Looking Backward “Roth writes about the well known and the not so well known, bringing to life the people, events, and institutions that shaped the Jewish community.” —Booklist

Book excerpt: Have you ever earnestly prayed for Gods guidance yet heard nothing but silence? Have you fervently prayed for God to help you with a major issue in your life and yet no answer came for you? Have you ever been filled with worry about a problem and it seems that God just stays far away? Yet with no guidance to go on, you and many other people still must make serious life decisions. But they are made with great uncertainty because you dont know if God is with you or will support you in the decision you made. With this new way to pray, any sincere soul will find a way to open up that communication from God so a clear and loud response to your prayer can be heard. If you are honest about wanting an answer to your prayer, and if you are a person who is truly seeking Gods will with real integrity and you are willing to be patient and wait for the Lords reply, here is a way to get your response. Six simple steps are given here to help you state your clear question to God, what to do while you wait for Gods answer, and to know the exact day you will receive Gods reply! This book will tell you precisely what you can do to obtain Gods clear direction with the specific prayer request you lift up. This may seem unbelievable, but the proven results of following these six steps, exactly as presented in this volume, are consistent and reliable in giving you a godly response. And this answer you receive can even be double-checked if you doubt it! The author of this volume has been very slow to publish his findings. He has spent over forty years in researching, refining, testing, and retesting this method so that an answer can come for any sincere soul who is an honest seeker in wanting to make an all-important connection with God. Try it once and discover for yourself exactly what Gods response will be to your sincere prayer request.
