Sinopse

In "Hawaii's Story by Hawaii's Queen," Liliʻuokalani offers a poignant, first-hand account of the Hawaiian monarchy's struggles amidst colonial encroachment and political upheaval. Written in a lyrical yet straightforward style, Liliʻuokalani's narrative blends personal memoir with historical exposition, illustrating the richness of Hawaiian culture and the devastating impacts of foreign intervention. Her eloquent prose serves both as a defense of her people and a testament to the sovereignty that was relentlessly challenged during her reign, making this work a crucial document for understanding Hawaii's complex historical landscape. Liliʻuokalani, the last reigning monarch of Hawaii, witnessed the overthrow of her government in 1893 by a group of American businessmen with the support of U.S. military forces. Her intimate knowledge of Hawaiian traditions and governance, paired with her deep personal loss, fueled her resolve to document and protect her people's story through this memoir. Her position allowed her unique insights into both the beauty of Hawaiian life and the tragic implications of colonialism. "Hawaii's Story by Hawaii's Queen" is an essential read for those seeking to grasp the nuances of Hawaiian history, culture, and the persistent struggle for identity. Liliʻuokalani's work stands as a vital exploration of resilience, urging readers to reflect on the ramifications of colonization and the power of self-determination.

    Being a parent is probably the most important job many of us will ever have. In this book, clinical psychologist Dr. Edward Christophersen and his colleague, child psychologist Dr. Susan Mortweet, show parents how to raise their child to become the adult we'd all like to be—one who is happy and compassionate, confident but not aggressive, and able to make and keep friends. 
     
     
     
    They point out that from babyhood on through the school years, children learn these qualities by observing and interacting with their parents. In clearly written, easy-to-follow chapters, parents are shown how to model and reward positive behaviors and avoid the need for ineffective, punitive discipline. 
     
     
     
    Two key areas are covered in the book: building one's own skills as a parent, and then building one's child's competencies. Scores of practical examples show parents how to teach their children what is important in life, how to communicate clearly, and how to effectively discipline their child. Special parenting topics such as managing a child's behavior in public, monitoring TV, toys, and games, and handling fallout from divorce are also discussed. Listeners then learn how to build their child's basic skills by teaching him or her how to quickly get over upsets and how to play independently.
