Kona Echo: A Biography of Dr. Harvey Saburo Hayashi by Jiro Nakano, M.D.
From the foreword by John Waihee Former Governor of Hawaii, "Dr. Jiro Nakano has written an eloquent and compelling memoir of one of the pioneers of Hawaii's Japanese community, the late Dr. Harvey Saburo Hayashi. This intriguing account traces Hayashi's history from his youth in northern Japan as the son of an impoverished samurai family to his success as a physician treating immigrant plantation workers in Hawaii."  

Hawaiian Breadfruit: Ethnobotany, Nutrition, and Human Ecology by Brien A. Meilleur, Richard R. Jones, C. Alan Tichenal, and Alvin S. Huang 
Breadfruit, called 'ulu in Hawaiian, was one of the plants Polynesians brought in their sailing canoes when they discovered the Hawaiian Islands. It is a staple food throughout the Pacific, and in ancient Hawai'i it was a crop of much greater nutritional, cultural, and political significance than its present-day status here suggests. The authors of this book assembled historical references to 'ulu and did nutrient analyses to develop a picture of the tree's former importance. Through its manifold uses, its widespread cultivation, and its nutritional similarity to the other Hawaiian staple, kalo (taro), Hawaiian breadfruit is revealed to have had a profound role in the Hawaiian culture and the human ecology of the archipelago.  

Lei in a Bottle: Collection Hawaiian Perfume Bottles by Gwen Olins and Evan Olins 
The Hawaiian perfume bottle emerged from the desire to take fragrant lei to the mainland before jet travel made it possible. Today these carved wood bottles are among the finest examples of Hawai'i's arts and crafts movement and eagerly sought by collectors. With passion, authority, and a pure love of the medium, the authors unveil, for the first time, the largest known collection of perfume bottles produced in pre-statehood Hawai'i.
