Here are some reviews by other readers.
Reviewer: Brad Hicks
This book gives a comprehensive overview on the Island's environments,
geology, weather patterns, and history. The book is filled with up-to-date
maps of all kinds and color photographs. The book contains statistical
information that is difficult to find in any of the other single publication
about Hawaii.
Reviewer: A reader from Kenmore,
WA
More than an atlas, this is a comprehensive look at Hawaii.
Don't be deceived, this is not just a book of maps. This title is a comprehensive
look at Hawaii: its physical environment from geology to earthquakes,
its biotic environment from animals to plants, its culture from archaeology
and history to religion and architecture, its social environment from
land use to communications, and complete with appropriate tables and statistics.
Color pictures, graphs, and excellent maps add to the quality. The only
shortcoming in the book is that there is only a one paragraph discussion
of VOG, volcanic emissions that cause significant pollution on the island
of Hawaii and that are sometimes blown to other Hawaiian Islands, as well.
Since this is likely the main source of air pollution in the islands,
a more serious discussion would have been worthwhile. Aside from this,
this is an outstanding work, by two University of Hawaii-Hilo professors.
A must have for people that love Hawaii.
