Download or read book Colonizing Hawai i written by Sally Engle Merry and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2000-01-10 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does law transform family, sexuality, and community in the fractured social world characteristic of the colonizing process? The law was a cornerstone of the so-called civilizing process of nineteenth-century colonialism. It was simultaneously a means of transformation and a marker of the seductive idea of civilization. Sally Engle Merry reveals how, in Hawai'i, indigenous Hawaiian law was displaced by a transplanted Anglo-American law as global movements of capitalism, Christianity, and imperialism swept across the islands. The new law brought novel systems of courts, prisons, and conceptions of discipline and dramatically changed the marriage patterns, work lives, and sexual conduct of the indigenous people of Hawai'i.

Book excerpt: Dr Alverson's story covers his early life experiences, through high school, World War II, his education and his involvement in State, Federal and International fisheries science and management. His career and story cover the period (1950-2000) during which world fisheries would explode from small boat coastal activities to distant water fleets of large vessels. World catches would increase over 300% after WWII and most of the worlds oceans and seas would be heavily exploited. Overfishing and impacts on coastal fisheries would lead the world community to seek new laws for the harvest of ocean fisheries and result in unilateral extension of national jurisdictions over ocean space. The growth of environmental movement in the later half of the 20th century would lead to conflicts between fishing and conservation groups resulting in changes in national and international fish policies. The book tracks many of these developments and DR Alverson's personal involvements and experiences during the traumatic period of world fishery expansion. During the course of his life marine fisheries resource would be seen as the great source of world protein to feed the worlds hungry and later as overfished and polluted.

Download or read book Rebranding Worship written by Wayne Huirua and published by Whitaker House. This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worship has changed dramatically over the last thirty years, leaving many worship leaders, musicians, and participants confused about what “doing worship” actually means. In 2012, worship leader Wayne Huirua received a prophetic encouragement to read the Word and find out what worship really is. The revelation he received took him by surprise. Join Wayne as he reexamines biblical characters from Adam and Eve, who were the first to need worship, to Noah, whose worship really stood out, to Abraham, who finally “manned up” about worship, to Moses, who had serious insecurity issues about worship, and even to King David, who took worship to a whole new level. All these believers struggled with the same sins we do: pride, lust, anger, greed. But Wayne carefully demonstrates how their worship, and our worship, can bring us out of sin and into oneness with God—the ultimate meaning of worship. This book will guide your revelation about the role of worship in your own life: Are you doing what is right in your own eyes, or doing what is right in God’s? Are you a true worshipper? And most important, are you living in oneness with God?

Download or read book No Beast So Fierce written by Edward Bunker and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ex-con struggles to adjust to life outside prison walls in “one of the great crime novels of the past 30 years” (James Ellroy). After eight years spent locked up, Max has gotten very good at being a prisoner. He knows the guards, the inmates, and how to survive. But the parole board has decided that he has sufficiently reformed, and it’s time for him to say goodbye. When Max reaches the outside world, he finds that freedom doesn’t make anything easier. Based on his own experiences in prison, Edward Bunker first drafted No Beast So Fierce in the 1950s, while incarcerated in San Quentin State Prison. He spent the next two decades in and out of jail, writing essays for various magazines and working on the novel, which was finally published in 1973. Eighteen months later, the book was used as evidence that he was fit to leave jail. He received parole, and spent the rest of his life a free man. Rooted in real-life experiences and hailed by Quentin Tarantino—who cast Bunker in his film Reservoir Dogs—as “the best first person crime novel I have ever read,” No Beast So Fierce is a gritty and compelling read like no other.
