Excerpt: Kula is a district of East Maui, Hawaii that stretches across the "up-country", the western-facing slopes of Haleakal, from Makawao to Ulupalakua. Most of the residential areas lie between about 500 to 1,100 m (1,800 ft to 3,700 ft) in elevation. The district has traditionally been where full-time residents prefer to live, as distinct from the generally hotter and busier tourist town near sea level such as Kihei and Lahaina. Kula roughly extends from Haleakala Highway (Hawaii Route 37) in the north to Keokea in the south-a distance of about 16 miles around . The largely rural area known as Upper Kula includes the region up-slope from Lower Kula, the more densely populated area spread along the Kula Highway. The word Kula means "open meadows" in the Hawaiian language. On Maui Kula is one of the island's 12 districts of ancient Hawaii called moku. Generally, Kula is a zone of arid, open country slopes between the inhabited and productive shoreline areas the densely forested zone higher on the mountain. Maui's Kula district is the island's largest district, extending from dry coastal areas to the wetter high pasture lands of three major ranches (Haleakala, Erewhon, and Ulupalakua) that cap the region about halfway up the slopes of Haleakala. It laterally extends from Keokea to near Makawao where the rainforest of East...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=313162 ... Read more

Chapters: Geography of Oahu, Banzai Pipeline, North Shore, Peacock Flats. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 18. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Banzai Pipeline, or simply "Pipeline" or "Pipe," is a surf reef break located in Hawaii, off Ehukai Beach Park in Pupukea on O'ahu's North Shore. A reef break is an area in the ocean where waves crash once they reach the shallows of a reef. Pipeline is notorious and famous for its huge waves breaking in shallow water just above its sharp and cavernous reef, forming large, hollow and thick curls of water that surfers can ride inside of. There are three reefs at Pipeline in progressively deeper water further out to sea that activate at various power levels applied by ocean swells. The location's compound name combines the name of the surf break (Pipeline) with the name of the beach fronting it (Banzai Beach). It got its name in December 1961 when surfing movie producer Bruce Brown was driving the North Shore with California surfers Phil Edwards and Mike Diffenderfer. Brown stopped at the then-unnamed site to film Edwards catching several waves. At the time, there was a construction project on an underground pipeline on adjacent Kamehameha Highway, and Diffenderfer made the suggestion to name the break Pipeline. The name was first used in Brown's movie Surfing Hollow Days. Pipeline is best on a strong swell that is pushed from the west, to clear out the sand in the reef that normally closes the wave out (meaning the hollow tube collapses all at once) on strong north swells. It is a flat tabletop reef, with several caverns on the inside, creating a giant air bubble that pops on the front of the wave when the wave lurches upwards just before breaking. There are also several jagged, underwater lava spires that can injure fallen surfers. Ther...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2159346 ... Read more

A lot of information in a condensed format...
Stars over Hawai'i makes a good beginner's guide to the sky.It has a great deal of basic information in a fairly small amount of page space.At a mere 74 pages each page packs in a lot of information.Included are descriptions of classic constellations, monthly star charts and a good bit of the science behind what we see in the night sky.

The last sections of the book contain a fair amount of the ancient Hawaiian sky lore, including star and constellation names as well as how the Polynesian mariners used the stars for navigation.

The book keeps to the older style and feel of the original 1955 publication by E.H. Bryan.This is not a glossy modern guide with lots of color photographs.Just pen and ink drawings simply conveying the information needed. A good read will answer just about any question a curious mind will have when viewing the dark skies Hawai'i has to offer.
