This collection masterfully weaves together historical narratives, traditional tales, and personal reflections, illustrating the multifaceted identity of Hawaii. The anthology's diversity is marked by the inclusion of remarkable pieces that traverse colonial encounters, indigenous stories, and the transformation of a society under the gaze of outsiders, all complemented by compelling illustrations that bring Hawaii's past to life. Its significance lies in presenting a nuanced portrayal of Hawaii's people and epochs, capturing the island's legacy with authenticity and depth. The anthology boasts contributions from a distinguished group of writers and cultural figureheads, including Gerard Fowke, Nathaniel Bright Emerson, and King David Kalakaua, whose collective expertise spans various academic and cultural domains. These authors are influential voices in chronicling Hawaii's history, reflecting movements such as native revivalism and colonial exploration, thereby enriching our understanding of transitioning eras. Their collective narratives contribute to a mosaic that acknowledges Hawaiian experiences and perspectives, acting as integral threads in the island's historical fabric. Readers are invited to immerse themselves in The Story of Hawaii for an expansive journey through the islands' historical landscape. Each piece in this anthology opens a window into different narratives, offering educational breadth and opportunities for reflection and learning. Discovering the interplay of perspectives within its pages, readers will find this collection not only informative but essential for anyone wishing to engage deeply with Hawaiian history and culture. This volume stands as a testament to shared heritage and the dialogues that preserve and celebrate it.

    There are many ways to fall down the rabbit-hole – and it may be far easier than you realise.
    Research analyst Aoife Gallagher has spent years investigating the darkest corners of the internet, but what happens when the online world spills into real life? Web of Lies is a fascinating deep dive into the rising threat of conspiratorial thought in Ireland and internationally, and explores how the internet is being used to spread disinformation – polarising society and radicalising people into extremism in the process.
    With balance and fairness, Gallagher connects the worldʼs oldest hatreds to current online cultures, showing how conspiratorial thinking can proliferate during times of crisis and how to recognise its most harmful impacts. Web of Lies is an urgent, provocative but ultimately hopeful call to protect ourselves and our loved ones, before itʼs too late . . . …
    'Ever wondered how good people get trapped in their worst nightmares? Web of Lies is an unforgettable journey through the upside-down world of conspiratorial thinking. Aoife Gallagher has written the definitive account of how global lies have changed Irish lives, in a book full of personal empathy, unrivalled expertise and captivating storytelling. It shines a light on the real-world harm of our darkest online fantasies and it shows how each of us can fight back.' Mark Little
    'At a time of fractious discord in discourse, Gallagher provides a vital context to and education in the strange and alarming world of conspiracy theories. Anyone interested in truth and facts should read this book.' Una Mullally
    'Aoife Gallagher can plumb the depths of the internet and come up to the surface to explain what she's found with levity, empathy and humour. Wise without lecturing; sharp but always maintaining compassion for those caught up in misinformation. A fantastic global overview of trends while having one eye on how these things have come to Ireland.' Brianna Parkins

    Invest With Social Responsibility, It Can Be A Tool For GoodIn 1977, two years after I graduated from Brown University, college students around the country launched a movement against Apartheid. Their campaign focused on divestment: convincingAmerican corporations to sell shares of companies doing business with South Africa's Apartheid government. The foundation of their argument was moral and straightforward, that no one should profit from a system that brutally oppresses people. By the mid-1980s, the divestment campaign became made pariahs of the companies still willing to transact with the Apartheid regime. Reflecting on the movement, in 2010 Archbishop Desmond Tutu wrote, “We could not have achieved our freedom and just peace without the help of people around the world, who through the use of non-violent means, such as boycotts and divestment, encouraged their governments and other corporate actors to reverse decades-long support for the Apartheid regime.”Socially responsible investing is rooted in the recognition that money, because it holds power in people’s imaginations, can be a tool for accomplishing good.
