Sinopse

Hawaii Kingdom explores the dramatic story of how the Kingdom of Hawaii, a culturally rich and independent nation, was annexed by the United States. This pivotal moment in world history was influenced by a complex interplay of political, economic, and social factors, including the growing influence of American businessmen and expansionist ambitions. The book argues that annexation was not inevitable but rather a calculated act driven by external forces.

The book chronicles the reigns of Hawaiian monarchs, from Kamehameha I, who unified the islands, to Queen Liliʻuokalani, the last sovereign ruler. It carefully analyzes the impact of European and American influence, particularly through missionary activity and the sugar industry, which dramatically reshaped Hawaiian society and set the stage for annexation.

The narrative progresses chronologically, from ancient Hawaiian society to the overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani in 1893 and the subsequent annexation by the United States in 1898, concluding with an exploration of the lasting impact on Hawaiian culture and identity.

Through a range of primary and secondary sources, Hawaii Kingdom provides a nuanced perspective on the Kingdom of Hawaii, avoiding simplistic narratives. It emphasizes the agency of Hawaiian leaders while acknowledging the overwhelming force of American expansionism. The book presents the historical evidence and competing perspectives, allowing readers to understand the long-term consequences of imperialism and the ongoing struggle for Hawaiian sovereignty and indigenous rights.

Small Farm Republic - Why...

John Klar

From farmer, lawyer, and political activist John Klar comes a bold, solutions-based plan for Conservatives that gets beyond the fatuous pipe dreams and social-justice platitudes of the dominant, Liberal “Green” agenda—offering a healthy way forward for everyone.  
While many on the Left have taken up the mantle of creating a “green” future through climate alarmism, spurious new energy sources, and technocratic control, many on the Right continue to deny imminent environmental threats while pushing for unbridled deregulation of our most destructive industrial forces. Neither approach promises a bright future.  
In a time of soil degradation, runaway pollution, food insecurity, and declining human health, the stakes couldn’t be higher, and yet the dominant political voices too often overlook the last best hope for our planet—supporting small, regenerative farmers. In fact, politicians on all sides continue to sell out the interests of small farmers to the devastating power of Big Ag and failed “renewable energy” incentives.   
It’s time for a new vision. It’s time for bold new agriculture policies that restore both ecosystems and rural communities.  
In Small Farm Republic, John Klar, an agrarian conservative in the mold of Wendell Berry and Joel Salatin, offers an alternative that puts small farmers, regenerative agriculture, and personal liberty at the center of an environmental revival—a message that everyone on the political spectrum needs to hear.

Genealogy - A Guide to...

Sophie Henner

Genealogy delves into the complex web of family relationships and historical contexts that shape individual and collective identities. It often begins with an inquiry into one's own family background, such as understanding the origins and branches of one’s family tree. Researchers use various resources, including birth, marriage, and death records, census data, military records, and immigration documents, to trace the lineage and connections of family members across generations. 
  
The process typically starts with gathering information from living relatives and personal family records. This foundational knowledge helps in identifying potential research paths. Genealogists then use historical records and archives to fill in gaps, verifying information and uncovering new details about ancestors' lives, including their social, economic, and geographical contexts. 
  
Genealogy also involves examining historical events, migrations, and cultural influences that impacted family histories. By integrating historical data with personal records, genealogists create a richer understanding of how family histories intertwine with broader historical narratives.

The Good Stuff from Growing Up...

Karen Casey

Living in a dysfunctional family isn't easy. But while you can't choose where you come from, you can choose the lessons you take away. 
 
 
 
Bestselling recovery author Karen Casey looks at stories of people who grew up in dysfunctional families and "the good stuff" that can, ironically, come from the experience. She interviews survivors who emerged from the fires of turbulent households affected by abuse, addiction, or other problems, and reveals how they came to process their often-harrowing personal trials and, against the odds, triumph over their difficulties—using skills they honed in response to their childhoods. In The Good Stuff from Growing Up in a Dysfunctional Family, Casey reveals the stories and the skills they developed to live more creative and fulfilling lives, and not just survive but thrive. 
 
 
 
"Using her interviews as groundwork, she explores the benefits that result from surviving in a dysfunctional family, including resiliency, perseverance, a sense of humor, forgiveness, kindness, and the ability to discern real love." —Publishers Weekly 
 
 
 
"You just can't go wrong with Karen Casey." —Earnie Larson, author of Stage II Recovery
