Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. The Hawaiian Archipelago, a group of eight islands and four smaller islets that stretches over 340 miles, is examined in this book. From its possible origins in Spanish knowledge and its first documented discovery by Captain James Cook, this book traces the geological, cultural, and environmental history of the islands. The author gives a comprehensive catalogue of information about the people, their origins, culture, religion, and way of life. The book discusses the impact of European contact on the people and the environment and gives particular attention to the volcanic activity that created the islands and continues to shape their present landscapes. The book concludes with the arrival of missionaries and the consolidation of the islands into a single kingdom in the 19th century, as well as their present status as an independent nation.
