This book contains the history that is part of Hawai'i - Stolen Paradise: A Travelogue.

This history was originally written as the prelude to a travelogue about a trip I took in October of 2012 to O'ahu and the Big Island.

It includes details about the Hawaiian language, culture, agriculture, aquaculture, music, dance, cuisine, and the Hawaiian people, with a bibliography of source material and a glossary at the end.

For people with a casual interest in Hawai'i or formal students of history and culture, and either armchair or serious travelers, this book can serve as a fun starting point for more in-depth study of this fascinating, beautiful paradise. Images are in black-and-white. A glossary of Hawaiian words and phrases is included.
