Stu Glauberman and Jerry Burris - 6-1/2" x 9-1/2" - 152 pages - black & white photos - Softcover
Born and raised in the most multicultural state in the union, United States President Barack Obama bears the indelible stamp of his native Hawai‘i. Here is a coming-of-age story set in Hawai`i’s storied “melting pot”—a revealing look at what makes Obama tick. The social mores of the Aloha State and the experience of growing up in an island culture have had a deep and lasting influence on the President. Obama himself has noted, “What’s best in me, and what’s best in my message, is consistent with the tradition of Hawai‘i.”

Yesterday in Hawaii: A Voyage Through Time is a descriptive account of Hawaii's long and colorful history shown through historical illustrations, photographs and modern-day photographs of Hawaii. Hawaii's history is a turbulent as it is colorful, developing from a group of chiefdoms into a kingdom, a provisional government, a republic, a territory and finally into a state of the United States. Its fragile ecosystem is filled with volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunami, but yet it is somehow enduring. Yesterday in Hawaii welcomes you to take "a voyage through time" through the snapshots of the people and events that help illuminate Hawaii's yesterdays.

#B425
Don Ho and Jerry Hopkins - 10" x 10" - 176 pages - color photos - Hardcover
In the spring of 2007, legendary Hawaiian entertainer Don Ho sat down with veteran music biographer Jerry Hopkins for a series of interviews meant to complete his memoirs...a project he'd put off doing for years. These interviews turned out to be the final ones of his life. Don passed away in April 2007.
This unique autobiography chronicling Donald Tai Loy Ho's life is a "modern Hawaiian quilt" of memories. The ambassador of aloha, Ho embodied the laid-back tropical lifestyle worldwide through his recordings and appearances both on television and in concert, and along the way became Hawai`i's best-known and most beloved personality of all time.
There are hundreds of images including album covers, memorabilia items and photographs from personal collections. Stories told in Don's own words, augmented by stories from family, friends and peers. Inside stories from his "small-kid" time, backstage at the shows, through his cutting edge stem-cell heart treatment and touching narratives about his funeral.
