A Little Book of Aloha: Ocean Wisdom is the third book in the award-winning A Little Book of Aloha series. International journalist, Renata Provenzano, explores the harmony of our relationship with the ocean according to Hawaiian wisdom. From across the Islands surfers, ocean masters, healers, artists, scientists and cultural practitioners talk story about honoring the ocean as a primal source of creation, spirituality, art, ecology and play. In Hawai‘i the spirit of aloha is a warriorlike respect for everything meaningful to human life - interacting with love, kindness, preservation of nature, wellbeing and a gentleness towards everything not yet understood, including ourselves. A Little Book of Aloha: Ocean Wisdom magnificently honors our mysterious ancient connection and human relationship with the ocean . . . Hawaiian style.

Book Description
Kona is one of the world's premium coffees. Given its small-scale cultivation on family farms, however, it has been especially susceptible to price swings and market gluts. A Cup of Aloha is a heartfelt portrait of the farmers, millers, landowners, merchants, and laborers who struggled to keep themselves and their industry alive. The author traces coffee's history in Hawaii--from its arrival in 1828 to Kona's position in today's highly competitive specialty coffee market. Through the author's use of oral history interviews, readers will experience day-to-day life on a coffee farm and the challenges, natural and man-made, that inspired innovations and adaptations to the agricultural, economic, and social life in the Kona Coffee Belt.

Book Description
Beautifully illustrated with more than 700 images, The Aloha Shirt: Spirit of the Islands tells the colourful stories behind the marvellous Hawaiian shirts: as cultural icons, evocative of the mystery and the allure of the Islands; as collectibles, valued by professional collectors and by the millions of tourists who still cherish the shirts hanging in their wardrobes; and as a lifestyle - casual, relaxed and fun. Drawing from hundreds of interviews, newspaper and magazine archives, and personal memorabilia, the author evokes the world of the designers, seamstresses, manufacturers and retailers of the Golden Age of the Aloha shirt (from the 1930s to the end of the 1950s), who created the industry and nurtured it from its single-sewing-machine shop beginnings to an enterprise of international scope and importance. Here are the fun-loving 1960s; interviews with collectors who preserve these shirts as fine works of art; and insights into the roles of coconut buttons, matched pockets, woven labels and exotic fabrics in the evolution of the Aloha shirt.
