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 Historical documents not previously used bring new information and fresh perspectives to this book.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.

This book shares stories of Hawaiian fishing families on the rural north east shore of island of Kauaʻi, a place many visit but few really see, inviting readers to think about how we all can be connected to and by place, along with the responsibilities this connection carries. This book offers teachings for living in conscious relationships with the natural world, without letting our desire for connection devour the places we love and the communities who are their keepers.

In the early decades of the 20th century, Communist efforts to bring justice to workers of the world led to many violent clashes. The clash of Communism and Capitalism brought violent death in 1924 to Filipino plantation workers on strike on the island of Kauai, in Hawaii. Sugar and pineapple plantations controlled worker discontent by "divide and conquer", importing uneducated workers who spoke different languages.This historical novel features the reaction of a young Filipino man to "The Hanapepe Massacre". He seeks revenge for his brother's death. Hero Grant Kingsley loses a family member in an explosion and works with his friend, Honolulu Detective Asing, to find the killer before the planters force a roundup of all Japanese workers. Local gangs in charge of corruption, an angry, jilted suiter of Grant's wife, a visit to a local "cat" house, car chases, an elite Hawaiian royalty group, and a dangerous object in his son's hands, obstruct and distract Grant in his search for his father's killer.
