Beschreibung

STOP THINKING POIPU IS JUST A VACATION SPOT. START LEARNING HOW IT TRANSFORMED LIVES.Once a land of labor—plantations, ranches, and endless toil—Poipu was defined by work and endurance. Slowly, sun, sand, and surf drew outsiders, reshaping the landscape and economy. This is the story of how a place built for survival became a destination for leisure, wonder, and reinvention.THIS ISN’T A TOURIST BROCHURE. IT’S A STUDY IN TRANSFORMATION.Inside, discover how communities adapted, how labor and culture blended with commerce and tourism, and how Poipu balanced growth with identity. You’ll see how human ambition reshaped both land and lifestyle, turning necessity into escape.THE LAND ITSELF TELLS THE STORY.From fields to beaches, from sweat to relaxation, Poipu’s history is written in the ways people lived, worked, and later, played. This book reveals how a place once defined by effort became a symbol of respite—and how transformation often begins quietly, beneath the surface.

    Geoffroy Delorme does not fit in the human world. As he gets older, he disappears into the woods at night, drawn to animal life. One night, an encounter with a deer changes his life: from then on, he knows he wants to live among them. 
     
     
     
    Delorme becomes a creature of the forest. He learns to live without a tent or sleeping bag and forage for food. He blends in with the deer and, slowly, they accept him. He witnesses their births and deaths, courtship and battles, ostracism and friendship over the cycles of their lives. Among the deer, he experiences the beauty, pain, fear, and joy of a life lived as a part of nature. 
     
     
     
    In his final year in the forest, Delorme meets a woman walking through the trees. He knows he can stay in the forest and die with his friends—or he can leave and speak their truth to a human world. 
     
     
     
    Deer Man is a moving story of what it's like to be an outsider and how forming connections with the natural world can help us feel less alone. A unique and powerful window into how far one human is willing to go to understand an animal, Deer Man asks us to never take for granted the flora and fauna of our world, and to work for their protection in whatever ways we can.

    Thai massage, also known as Nuad Thai or Nuat Thai, has a rich history rooted in ancient traditions. It is believed to have been developed over 2,500 years ago in India by Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, a contemporary of the Buddha and a revered physician in Buddhist tradition. He is often referred to as the "father of medicine" in Thailand. As Buddhism spread to Thailand, so did the practices and principles of Thai massage. 
    The technique evolved over centuries, integrating influences from traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic practices, and indigenous Thai healing methods. Thai massage is distinct from other forms of massage due to its unique combination of acupressure, Indian Ayurvedic principles, and assisted yoga postures. It is performed on a mat on the floor, and the recipient remains fully clothed during the session. The therapist uses their hands, knees, legs, and feet to move the client into a series of yoga-like stretches, while also applying deep muscle compression, joint mobilization, and acupressure. 
    The Wat Pho temple in Bangkok, a significant center for traditional Thai massage education, houses inscriptions and statues that document these ancient practices. The temple is considered the birthplace of Thai massage as it is known today. In modern times, Thai massage has become popular worldwide, recognized for its holistic approach to healing, which promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and enhances physical and emotional well-being.
