Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Complete Story of Hawai'i - From the First Voyagers to Lahaina and Beyond. A thousand years ago, Polynesian navigators guided their double-hulled canoes across two thousand miles of empty Pacific and made landfall on the most isolated islands on Earth. From that astonishing arrival to the devastating Lahaina wildfire of August 2023, Hawai'i's story is one of the most remarkable in human history - and it has never been told with greater care, accuracy, or beauty than in this Revised and Expanded Edition. Echoes of Aloha: Hawai'i's Past and Present is a sweeping, deeply researched narrative history of the Hawaiian Islands, written for travelers, students, history lovers, and anyone who has ever stood on a Hawaiian beach and wondered how it all began. Inside this fully updated edition, you'll discover: The Great Polynesian Migration - the AD 1000-1300 voyagers, the science of wayfinding, and the building of an island civilization. King Kamehameha the Great - his rise, his battles, and the 1810 unification of all the Hawaiian Islands under one crown. Captain Cook and the Crossroads of the Pacific - first contact, sandalwood, whaling, missionaries, and the catastrophic epidemics. The Plantation Era - sugar, pineapples, the Big Five corporations, and the great waves of Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, and Portuguese immigration. The 1893 Overthrow of Queen Lili'uokalani - the Committee of Safety, the US Marines from the USS Boston, and the contested Newlands Resolution of 1898. Pearl Harbor and the 442nd - the day that lived in infamy, martial law, and the most decorated US military unit of WWII. Statehood, Tourism, and the Modern Islands - the Democratic Revolution, the jet age, and the making of multicultural Hawai'i. The Hawaiian Renaissance - Hokule'a, Mau Piailug, Nainoa Thompson, the rebirth of 'olelo Hawai'i, and the sovereignty movement. The 2023 Lahaina Wildfire - the deadliest US wildfire in over a century, the recovery, and what comes next. Why this edition is different: Ten in-depth chapters plus sixteen reference appendices - over 100 pages of substantive content. Updated to 2026 with the latest scholarship on Polynesian arrival, the overthrow, and current events. Hawaiian diacritics throughout - proper 'okina and kahako on every word and place name. Carefully fact-checked against current historical research, with contested claims clearly flagged. Complete reference toolkit - timeline, glossary, key figures, the eight islands in detail, Hawaiian phrases, royal monarchs, place-names, festivals, and further reading. In-focus essays on volcanoes, cuisine, sovereignty, surfing (Duke Kahanamoku and Eddie Aikau), and the Hawaiian gods. Professionally typeset for a genuine reading experience worthy of the subject.
