Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geography of the Hawaiian Islands The volcanic fires ceased first on Kauai, and so, as it became greatly eroded and acquired more forms of plant life, it has been called the oldest island of the group; this does not mean, how ever, that it appeared above the surface of the ocean first, or even before Hawaii, the youngest island, which, with its two active volcanoes, is still in the making process, though it has already been built up 8575 feet higher than Kauai. The surface features of the group are characterized by lofty mountains with gentle slopes, which are cut up by many gorges of great depth. The valleys of West Maui and Kauai are among the grandest in the world. The windward or northeast sides terminate in cliffs, which, on Hawaii and Molokai, are several thousand feet high in places. The upper slopes of the moun tains are covered with a dense tropical growth of great beauty, which extends nearly to the sea on the windward side. Situated as they are at the crossroads of the steamer routes across the Pacific, the Hawaiian Islands occupy a position of great commercial and strategic' importance - and thus well merit the epithet which is applied to them, The Key of the Pacific.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As both individuals and societies, we are making decisions today that will have profound consequences for future generations. From preserving Earth's plants and animals to altering our use of fossil fuels, none of these decisions can be made wisely without a thorough understanding of life's history on our planet through biological evolution. Companion to the best selling title Teaching About Evolution and the Nature of Science, Evolution in Hawaii examines evolution and the nature of science by looking at a specific part of the world. Tracing the evolutionary pathways in Hawaii, we are able to draw powerful conclusions about evolution's occurrence, mechanisms, and courses. This practical book has been specifically designed to give teachers and their students an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of evolution using exercises with real genetic data to explore and investigate speciation and the probable order in which speciation occurred based on the ages of the Hawaiian Islands. By focusing on one set of islands, this book illuminates the general principles of evolutionary biology and demonstrate how ongoing research will continue to expand our knowledge of the natural world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hawaiian Islands are small in area, but they resemble continents in miniature with climates ranging from tropical rainforest to desert to tundra. Prevailing Trade Winds: Weather and Climate in Hawaii, intended for students of geography, biology, ecology, and hydrology, for visitors interested in the natural phenomena of the places they visit, and for island residents, explains in clear language the many aspects of the climate and weather of Hawaii. Weather is usually defined as the current state of the atmosphere, while climate denotes average weather and includes the variability and frequency of the factors that produce weather. The authors of this volume discuss the factors that control climate; the radiation, energy, and water balances; the impact of climate on human activity; the climate-related meanings of many place names in Hawaii; and the importance of the climate of Hawaii for scientific research. Contributors: Paul Ekern, Tom Giambelluca, Dennis Nullet, Saul Price, Marie Sanderson, and Thomas Schroeder.
