Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are tons of things for a kid to do and see in Kauai, Hawaii, and award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, along with award winning photographer, John D. Weigand have combined their efforts once again to show you just a few of those things. You can kayak down a river, surf on the beach and you can see some fun and beautiful birds. Chickens run wild on Kauai, surviving all on their own, left over from early settlers, and the Hawaiian geese are a real treat to watch and they paddle right up to you. There is a lighthouse you can visit that is 100 years old, and it just had its birthday! And the color green is abundant, as the mist and rain caress the island daily. In fact, Mount Wai?ale?ale (near the center of the island) is 5,148 feet (1,569 m) above sea level. And it is said to be one of the wettest spots on earth, with an annual average rainfall of a grand total of 460 inches! Yes, you can go to a luau and eat out and do all those sorts of things; but you can also go bird watching, see a rainbow in a blowhole, and just lie under an umbrella on the beach and soak up the sun. This is why they call this place paradise! This book is also an early reader so a kid can practice reading skills though word recognition and rhyme, and there is a music video on the Bellissimavideo YouTube Channel that goes along with this book for more educational fun!

Download or read book Kauai written by Edward Joesting and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1988-02-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here finally is a readable, thoroughly researched, and generously illustrated history of the island of Kauai. Edward Joesting tells for the first time the story of one of the most intriguing and least known of the Hawaiian Islands. His account begins with the prehistoric origins of the island and concludes with the annexation of Hawaii in 1898. Kauai describes the early emergence of Kauai as an island separate and distinctive from the other islands of Hawaii. It recounts the coming of Western man, the failure of King Kamehameha to conquer the island, and the ultimate incorporation of the island into the Hawaiian kingdom. Joesting also includes in his story the destructive impact of the sandalwood and whaling trades, and the subsequent rise of an economy based on sugar cultivation. His story comes to an end with the demise of the Hawaiian monarchy and the quiet revolution that occurred when Hawaii became a territory of the United States. Historical documents not previously used bring new information and fresh perspectives to this book. The result is a level-headed, engaging look at Kauai. Kauai: The Separate Kingdom is certain to become the authoritative history of the island long regarded by many as the most beautiful in the Hawaiian archipelago.
