Product Description
A land of fire and ice, the Big Island of Hawai'i offers a splendid range of geographic wonders from the spectacular lava flows of Kilauea Crater to the snow-capped peaks of Mauna Kea. Here are lush valleys, many remote and unpopulated, and ranchland where cattle roam free. The desolate lava flows along the Kohala Coast are punctuated with oases of green, where grand resorts give the area the name Gold Coast. To the south, coffee and macadamia nuts grow in verdant farmland. This book explores in photos and text the many wonders of the Big Island. In addition, the people of Hawai'i - especially its paniolo (cowboys) and hula dancers - are pictured celebrating traditions that continue until this day. Throughout the text are tales drawn from ancient Hawaiian mythology, offering the reader a glimpse of the colorful history of this mysterious land. There are stories o Kamehameha, the high chief who united the Hawaiian kingdom. We are told of the fiery temper of Pele, the goddess of Hawai'i's volcanoes, and of how famine was ended by Kane, the great god of all living things. We learn how a personal aumakua, or guardian spirit, can save a life, and how Pueo, the owl, came to be a zealous hunter of rats. Land of Fire & Ice is sure to be treasured by visitors and kamaaina alike, both for its superb photography and for its lively text.
