{"product_id":"slices-of-life-in-hawaii-j-arthur-iii-rath-9781450235198","title":"Slices of Life in Hawaii Volume 1","description":"Collection of 65 stories and poems covering life in Hawaii from the early '30s, through World War II, and up to the present-including the new U.S. S. Hawaii, nuclear submarine. Compellingly written, this book's 337 pages cover: Growing up Hawaiian style; sugar plantation life; Hawaiian ranching; Kamehameha Schools--the gift of a Princess so Hawaiians could be industrious men and women. Thirty-four pages are devoted to military headquartered in Hawaii and heroes resting here for eternity. Why do Jewish tourists love Hawaii? This book tells you why. It provides insights on Hawaiian men's' psyches. Hawaiian culture and multi-cultures are covered, the story of 'Dancing With Ancestors' is something you will never forget. Hawaii's celebrity son President Obama, Musician Charles King and Kui Lee-- and Don Ho and George Kanahele, Hawaii's Renaissance leaders, the author's friends from boyhood are featured in heartwarming ways. Rath covers improbabilities and silliness of Hawaii politics. He speaks eloquently for the need to \"clear up\" the funny slanguage-which politicians use that is neither Hawaiian nor English! The last six pieces are heartwarming appreciations for those who've managed life's vicissitudes while never losing the sense of \"Aloha\"-which is something you'll learn very well in this book. Tasty and worth savoring, these slices of life are moving experiences presented by Rath, an authentic islander \" of the blood,\" who shares his deep, heart-warming perceptions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e J.
