Publisher Description
Joseph Kennedy review currently attached to Ancient Hawaii on Amazon.com web site. Another review is on www.hawaiibooks.com. A review is being sent to you by teacher Bill Taylor. Ancient Hawaii has also been reviewed by two Honolulu newspapers and a Hawaii Island newspaper.
Book Description
How ancient Polynesian explorers found the Hawaiian Islands, the most remote in Earth's largest sea; how they navigated, how they viewed themselves and their universe, and the arts, crafts, and values by which they survived and prospered without metals or the fuels and inventions believed necessary for life today.
Reader Reviews
There is simply no one alive who could do what Herb Kane has done for the understanding of precontact Hawaii. We should all be grateful that such an accomplished artist also possesses considerable research skills and the ability to display them. One gets all three in this splendid paean to Kane's ancestors. ANCIENT HAWAII is a beautiful and understandable look at Hawaii before the arrival of Captain Cook. One would have to travel the world to see this collection of Herb Kane's paintings and drawings, and spend hundreds of hours in the library to get this sort of understanding and feeling for the precontact Hawaiian world. Herb Kane is the real thing. The book is for everyone.
