Opis

Maui far out in mid Pacificis No Ka Oi (the best). It is loved by more people than perhaps any Hawaiian Island, beloved by millions as few other places on earth. This small book, Maui for Millions: Tales of Remarkable People of Aloha introduces readers to a few of the remarkable people who abound on Maui. A Hostess, bartender, basket weavers, artists, musicians, merchants, minister, sailor, Realtor, teacher of hula, hotelkeepers, cultural specialists, preservers of history. What makes Maui, magical Maui? Beautiful beaches? Majestic ocean? Breaching whales? Lush rain forests? Volcanic landscapes? Mahi mahi. Hula? Ukuleles? Swaying palms? No doubt But what makes Maui magical is its remarkable people of aloha, often joyous in demeanor whose ubiquitous smiles say a lot about their love of this land and their passions. The words ?Magical Maui," yields well over 3,000 page hits on the Internet. Hundreds of books portray the wonders of Maui through beautiful photos or through explanation of places or history. Yet there are far fewer portraits drawn of the contemporary people who above all make Maui, Maui. For the millions among 2.5 million annual visitors who truly love this greatest place or will love this place after just one visit, this short read--ideal before a trip, on a lounge chair, or on the plane back home goes beyond the beach to record lives that illuminate today's Maui.
