Hardback. Condición: Good. The Big Island was the first of the Hawaiian Islands to be settled by early Polynesians. It was from the Big Island that Kamehameha proceeded to create a kingdom of Hawaii. It was on the Big Island where Captain Cook was killed and where the kapu system was overthrown. The Big Island was the creadle of Hawaii's paniolo culture, where coffee was first cultivated, and where hula began its modern revival through the Merrie Monarch Festival. It is the only island with active volcanoes, and the island most devastated by natural disasters. 
 In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, explorers, traders, adventurers, and missionaries arrive along with Western diseases that devastate the original inhabitants of the land. In the mid- to late nineteenth century, sugar becomes king and thousands of immigrant workers arrive whose future generations will lead to a multi-ethnic society.
 In the first half of the twentieth century, a tourist industry develops around Kilauea's eruptions. Sugar workers strike, Marines train in Waimea, and earthquakes and tsunamis destroy coastal towns. In the second half of the twentieth century, the tourist industry becomes resort-oriented, the Hawaiian Renaissance evolves into the sovereignty movement, and astronomy and science become a significant part of the island's economic future.
 The Big Island is not only rich in history but in visual imagery recording its past, maintained in pubic, private, and family archives. From these collections, over 400 photographs and illustrations have been selected to narrate the Island's story and enable us to time-travel through the island's exciting past filled with colorful personages, dramatic events, and sweeping economic, cultural, and social change.…
