Hawaii

Description

Author Bill Graves and photographer Jim Amos traveled the Aloha State for months, surveying the charms of America's mid-Pacific outpost. The Hawaiian archipelago consists of eight major islands, and 129 lesser islands and islets. For nearly two centuries they have formed a bridge between East and West, first settled by Polynesians, and now routinely inundated by wave after wave of tourists. The tourists, and the infrastructure to house and amuse them are wreaking havoc on the islands ecology, as the very beauty that attracts them is being destroyed by development at an ever increasing pace. The authors explore this unique environment, taking readers along on their fascinating journey.
