Winter Reading List

Ready for a fun and challenging winter reading list to build your science knowledge? Take our Winter Reading List challenge and be the life of all parties with you newly acquired fast facts and scientific stories.

Grant. J. (2007). Corrupted Science. Facts, Figures, & Fun.

"[Grant] takes us through a rogue's gallery that features faked creatures, paleontological trickery, false psychics, and miracles cures that aren't so miraculous. See how ideology, religion, and politics have imposed themselves on science throughout history, from the Catholic Church's influence on cosmology to Nazi racist pseudoscience to the Bush Administration's attempt to deny climate change. The themes, while entertaining as ever, are serious and timely." -- from publisher  

Nicholls, H. (2018). Sleepyhead: the neuroscience of a good night's rest. Basic Books.

"Whether it's a bout of bad jet lag or a stress-induced all-nighter, we've all suffered from nights that left us feeling less than well-rested. But for some people, getting a bad night's sleep isn't just an inconvenience: it's a nightmare. In Sleepyhead, science writer Henry Nicholls uses his own experiences with chronic narcolepsy as a gateway to better understanding the cryptic, curious, and relatively uncharted world of sleep disorders." -- from publisher 

Numbers, R. L. (2015). Newton's apple and other myths about science. Harvard University Press.
"Newton's Apple debunks widespread belief that science advances when individual geniuses experience "Eureka!" moments and suddenly comprehend what those around them could never imagine. Science has always been a cooperative enterprise of dedicated, fallible human beings, for whom context, collaboration, and sheer good luck are essential elements of discovery." -- from Amazon.

Parker, S. (2015). Evolution: the whole story. Firefly books.

"Evolution provides an in-depth account of evolution, one of the ultimate keystone theories in modern science. Ten experts survey how each of the Earth's major groups of living things diversified and evolved through time. Using visual features that make the story comprehensible, the book gives readers, even those with no previous knowledge of the topic, a clear understanding of evolution and how it brought us to the present day." -- from publisher

Roach, M. (2003). Stiff: the curious lives of human cadavers. W. W. Norton & Co. 

"Stiff is an oddly compelling, often hilarious exploration of the strange lives of our bodies postmortem. For two thousands years, cadavers -- some willingly, some unwittingly -- have been involved in science's boldest strides and weirdest undertakings. In this fascinating account, Mary Roach visits the good deeds of cadavers over the centuries and tells the engrossing story of our bodies when we are no longer with them." -- from publisher

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities to increase the awareness of the disease and raise funds for research. The annual event was founded in 1985 as a partnership between American Cancer Society and the pharmaceutical division of the Imperial Chemical Industries. Throughout the world, events are held including walks and runs and often the illumination of buildings in the color pink.

Below are a select number of resources related to breast cancer to help you to learn more about the disease.

"The stories of 70 women living in the aftermath of breast cancer. Chemo brain. Fatigue. Chronic pain. Insomnia. Depression. These are just a few of the ongoing, debilitating symptoms that plague some breast cancer survivors long after their treatments have officially ended. While there are hundreds of books about breast cancer... what has been missing until now is testimony from the thousands of women who continue to struggle with persistent health problems." -- from publisher

Rodriguez, M. A. (2019). Handbook of cancer survivorship care. Springer Publishing.

"...serves a practical and concise guide for the multidisciplinary management of cancer survivors. Each chapter is authored by a team consisting of a seasoned oncologist and an experienced practitioner who provides direct services in survivorship care...

OHA aims to improve the wellbeing of all Native Hawaiians and was born out of the activism of the 1970s. Annually, OHA provides Native Hawaiian students with $500,000 in scholarships to help pay for college and has given out over $34 million in loans to help Native Hawaiians start businesses, improve their homes, and consolidate debt.

Hawaiian History Month: Hawaiian Renaissance

In this week's installment of blogs to commemorate Hawaiian History Month, we focus on the Hawaiian renaissance.

The first Hawaiian renaissance is associated with King Kamehameha V and his nationalist sentiments that were carried on through the reign of King Kalākaua, for whom the Merrie Monarch festival is named in honor of.

The second Hawaiian renaissance begun in the 1970s with a surge of music, arts, and scholarly interest in Kānaka Maoli culture and identity.  Below are resources sharing information on the Hawaiian renaissance and Hawaiian history. For more information, please reach out to the Hawaiian-Pacific Librarian, Krystal Kakimoto, at krystal.kakimoto@chaminade.edu.

Arista, N. (2019). The kingdom and the republic: sovereign Hawaiʻi and the early United States. University of Pennsylvania Press. 

"Noelani Arista  uncovers a trove of previously unused Hawaiian language documents to chronicle the story of Hawaiians' experience of encounter and colonialism in the nineteenth century. The result is a heretofore untold story of native political formation, the creation of indigenous law, and the extension of chiefly rule over natives and foreigners alike." -- from publisher

Hawaiian History Month: Hula

In this week's installment of Hawaiian History Month, we focus on hula which was created in Hawaiʻi when the first Polynesians settled in the Islands. 

The hula of pre-Western contact is called hula kahiko and features traditional musical implements accompanied by an oli (chant) or mele (song). After Westerners visit the Islands, hula ʻauana is born and incorporates Western instruments such as guitar, ʻukulele, and percussion instruments.

The complex dance and artform is much more nuanced than many realize so we are excited to share the following resources to help everyone learn more about this fascinating aspect of Hawaiian culture. The resources not only cover the art but also touches upon academic aspects to understand the art in context to the world.

Library Books

Hopkins, J. (2011). The hula. Bess Press.

"Hawaiʻi in the 1970s was a vibrant time; a Hawaiian Renaissance was being led, in part, by the renewed popularity of and interest in hula as an integral part of Hawaiian culture... Hopkin's book was the first to offer readers a comprehensive history of hula aimed at a general audience." -- from publisher

Imada, A. L. (2012). Aloha America: hula circuits through the U.S. empire. Duke University Press.

"Aloha America reveals the role of hula in legitimizing U.S. imperial ambitions in Hawaiʻi. Hula performers began touring throughout the continental United States and Europe in the late nineteenth century. These "hula circuits" introduced hula, and Hawaiians, to U.S. audiences, establishing an "imagined intimacy," a powerful fantasy that enabled Americans to possess their colony physically and symbolically... Imada focuses on the years between the 1890s and the 1960s, examining little-known performances and films before turning to the present-day appropriation of hula by the Hawaiian self-determination movement." -- from publisher

Kaeppler, A. L. (1993). Hula pahu: Hawaiian drum dances. Bishop Museum Press.

"Adrienne Kaeppler analyzes dance movements and explains their evolution from early haʻa (ritual) taditions. She accounts for the sacred nature of hula pahu by placing its origin in ritual worship of the "state gods" of the Hawaiian religion." -- from publisher

Stillman, A. K. (1998). Sacred Hula: The Historical Hula ʻĀlaʻapapa. Bishop Museum Press.

"A study of the genre of ancient Hawaiian hula that is accompanied by the ipu and ipu heke gourd drums, that predates the so-called modern hula of the Kalākaua era. Includes background, mele (songs), terms, classification, implements used, accompanying hula steps, and Hula Pele." -- from publisher

DVDs and CDs

Nā leo Hawaiʻi kahiko: The master chanters of Hawaiʻi.  [CD 601]

"Historical recordings of chants and songs from the audio-recording collection from the Department of Anthropology at Bishop Museum." -- from CD container

Siebens, E. (2003). American Aloha: Hula beyond Hawaiʻi. Bluestocking Films. [DVD 1673]

"Goes beyond the hula stereotypes promoted by Hollywood and tourism to examine the cultural spiritual meaning of the hula and how hula tells the history of Hawaii through music, language and dance. Focuses on the perpetuation of hula among Hawaiians living in California." -- from DVD case

Woolford, K. (2014). The Haumāna. Hula Network Filmworks. [DVD 2527]

"Johnny Kealoha is the charismatic host of a struggling Polynesian luau show for tourists. To everyone's surprise, including his own, he is appointed as the successor to a high school hula class when his former Kumu Hula passes away. He becomes as much a students as a teacher through the demands of leading the boys to a significant hula performance and rediscovers the sanctity of the culture he previously abandoned."  -- from DVD case

Wright, P. K. (2007). Basic hula. Real Hula. [DVD 1844]

"The collaboration of this master teacher and master dancer has produced the first complete visual and verbal road map allowing you to achieve the truly Hawaiian look in your hula dancing. This video is two hours of intensive instruction and demonstration covering 14 basic steps." -- from DVD case

Hawaiian History Month: Plantations

For this week's Hawaiian History Month blog, we will focus on plantations in Hawaiʻi -- their origins and legacy.  

Sugarcane was first introduced to the islands by the first inhabitants of Hawaiʻi who brought the plant in their outrigger canoes to plant in the new land they settled. The first inhabitants used the sweet juice of the sugarcane for medicinal purposes to offset bitterness found in some tinctures. Sugarcane was also used to sweeten food or chewed to encouraged the strengthening of the gums and teeth. For many years, the plant was used by households on small levels of production. The first industrial mill was erected on Lanaʻi in 1802 but commercial sugarcane did not gain momentum in the Islands until the 1840s. As demand from the continental United States grew for more sugarcane to be produced in the Islands, laborers were imported to live and work on sugarcane plantations across the state. This mix of peoples gave way to the multicultural landscape of Hawaiʻi today.

Check out these selections from our collection below or email the Hawaiian-Pacific Librarian, Krystal (krystal.kakimoto@chaminade.edu) for more information and resources.

Dorrance, W. H. (2000). Sugar islands: the 165-year story of sugar in Hawaiʻi. Mutual Publishers. 

"Sugar Islands tells this story beginning with the early days when pioneer businessmen struggled with nature and imported their machinery and labor from half a world away. Often prosperity would suddenly turn to bankruptcy because of drought, huge shipping costs, warehouse fires, or plant disease. It is not just a story but an epic history as the industry affected every aspect of Island life..." -- from publisher

Felipe, V. M. (2002). Hawaiʻi: a Pilipino dream. Mutual Publishers. 

"Peppered with spicy local language and slang, his [Lilo Bonipasyo] story is told by a multitude of vivid images taking the reader from the Philippines in the early 1900s, to sugar rich Kohala on the Big Island in the 1920s through WWII, then on to rural Waimanalo, Oahu, in the 1970s". -- from publisher

MacLennan, C. A. (2014). Sovereign sugar: industry and environment in Hawaiʻi. University of Hawaiʻi Press.

"Sovereign Sugar unravels the tangled relationship between the sugar industry and Hawaiʻi's cultural and natural landscapes. It is the first work to fully examine the complex tapestry of socioeconomic, political, and environmental forces that shaped sugar's role in Hawaiʻi. While early Polynesian and European influences on island ecosystems started the process of biological change, plantation agriculture, with its voracious need for land and water, profoundly altered Hawaiʻi's landscape." -- from publisher

Murayama, M. (1998). Plantation boy. University of Hawaiʻi Press. 

"NO other writer has attempted such a broad view of the nisei experience in Hawaiʻi at Milton Murayama... the third novel in a planned teralogy [centers on] eldest son Toshio [who] narrates the continuing story of the Oyama family... His struggles are set against the cataclysmic events of World War II -- the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the internment of Japanese Americans, the heroism of the 100th and 442nd in Europe, the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in Asia -- and the social and political uphevals in Hawaiʻi." -- from publisher

Takaki, R. T. (1983). Pau hana: plantation life and labor in Hawaii, 1835-1920. University of Hawaiʻi Press. 

"Pau hana documents culture retention, transition, and change as Takaki explains the development of Hawaiian pidgin. English, plantation economics, social gatherings, religion, and family development. Throughout the story, one becomes involved with the various peoples and the landowners as their experiences unfold." -- from publisher

 In observance of Labor Day, the library will be closed on Monday, Sept. 6. It will re-open on Tuesday, Sept. 7 at 8:15 AM.

Hauʻoli Lā Hānau, Queen Liliʻuokalani!

Born September 02, 1838, today we celebrate the 183rd anniversary of the birth of Queen Liliʻuokalani. Lydia Liliʻu Loloku Walania Kamakaʻeha, our only queen regent and last sovereign monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom, was born to Analea Keohokālole and Caesar Kapaʻakea. Her hānai (inform adoption) parents were Abner Pākī and Laura Kōnia making Lydia the hānai sister of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop.

The Queen's life was filled with both highs and lows, too many to fit into one blog post, so we recommend the following resources to help connect you more to our Queen and her story.

Iaukea, Sydney L. (2012). The queen and I. University of California Press. 

"In this expose, Sydney L. Iaukea ties personal memories to newly procured political information about Hawaii's crucial Territorial era. Spurred by questions surrounding intergenerational property disputes in her immediate family, she delves into Hawaii's historical archives. There she discovers the central role played by her great-great-grandfather in the politics of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century..." -- from publisher 

Liliuokalani, Queen of Hawaii. (2019). The diaries of  Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii, 1885-1900. Hui Hānai.

"Queen Liliuokalani, the eighth monarch of the Hawaiian Islands, is known and honored throughout the world, even though she was never ceremonially crowned. Published here for the first time, the Queen's diaries, which she penned between 1885 and 1900, reveal her experience as heir apparent and monarch of the Hawaiian Islands during one of the most intense, complicated, and politically charged eras in Hawaiian history." -- from publisher

Proto, Neil Thomas. (2009). The rights of my people: Liliuokalani's enduring battle with the United States, 1893-1917. Algora Publishers. 

"Even on the 50th anniversary of Hawaii statehood, sovereignty in Hawaii is still the subject of an active, ongoing legal dispute. The Rights of My People revisits Liliuokalani's decades-long campaign for the dignity and sovereignty of Hawaii." -- from publisher

Siler, Julia Flynn. (2012). Lost kingdom: Hawaii's last queen, the sugar kings, and America's first imperial adventure. Atlantic Monthly Press.

"Deftly weaving together a memorable cast of characters, "Lost Hawaii" brings to life the ensuing clash between a vulnerable Polynesia people and relentlessly expanding capitalist powers. Portraits of royalty and rogues, sugar barons, and missionaries combine into a sweeping tale of the Hawaiian Kingdom's rise and fall." -- from publisher

From: ʻŌlelo Community Media:

On September 2nd at 10:00 AM, celebrate Hawaiian History Month. Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī Coalition presents Hauʻoli Lā Hānau e Liliʻuokalani on 'Ōlelo channel 53 (53 Spectrum or 53 & 1053 Hawaiian Telcom). Also streaming on the 'Ōlelo mobile app.

June is Migraine and Headache Awareness Month

Since 2012, June has been Migraine and Headache Awareness month where we work to spread the word on migraines and headaches. Migraines, a specific type of headache causing moderate to severe pain, is a neurological disease affecting approximately 1 billion people worldwide with North America having the most cases in the world. To commemorate the month, people across the nation wear purple, the color of migraine and headache awareness, and spread the word about headaches.

Noteworthy Faculty Publications

Faculty at Chaminade University of Honolulu are not just masters of the classroom but also scholars within their own disciplines; contributing to the dynamic scholarly communication of their field to help grow information. Below is a selection of our faculty publications for you to check out.

Lockard, E. (2014). Human migration to space: alternative technological approaches for long-term adaptation to extraterrestrial environments. Springer International Publishing.

"Human migration to space will be the most profound catalyst for evolution in the history of humankind, yet this has had little impact on determining our strategies for the next phase of exploration... Approaching this question from an interdisciplinary approach, this dissertation explores how the impact of interior space architecture can meet both the physical and psychological needs of future space colonists and set the stage for humankind to thrive and grow while setting down new roots beyond earth." - from publisher 

Santee, R. G. (2013). The Tao of stress: how to calm, balance. and simplify your life. New Harbinger Publications.

"Imagine, for a moment, a branch in the wind. If it moves with the wind, it will sway gracefully and remain intact; but if it refuses to bend, it will break. Like that unbendable branch, many of us refuse to be in harmony with the changes around us, and it is out of this conflict that much of our stress is created.... In The Tao of Stress, an expert in Taoist psychology presents daily meditative skills and movement exercises that can help you simplify your life, fight fatigue, and calm a busy mind." - from publisher

Tibbett, M. & Carter, D. (2008). Soil analysis in forensic taphonomy: chemical and biological effects of buried human remains. CRC Press.

"A burial environment is a complex and dynamic system. It plays host to an abundance of interdependent chemical, physical, and biological processes, which are greatly influenced by the inclusion of a body and its subsequent decay. However, while taphonomy continues to emerge as a valuable forensic tool, until now most of the attention has been on the cadaver rather than the grave itself... This unique resource provides an up-to-date overview of fundamental scientific principles and methods used in forensic taphonomy from a soil-based perspective." - from publisher

Deep dive into Roman history

Ever want to learn more about Ancient Rome and how it impacts life today? About Julias Caesar and why he was assassinated? Or how Cleopatra connects with Rome? Below is a selection of books from our collection to help answer some of these answers and more!

Dando-Collins, S. (2010). The ides: Caesar's murder and the war for Rome. Wiley.

"The assassination of Julius Caesar is one of the most notorious murders in history. Two thousand years after it occurred, many compelling questions remain about his death: Was Brutus the hero and Caesar the villain? Did Caesar bring death on himself by planning to make himself king of Rome? Was Mark Antony aware of the plot, and let it go forward? Using historical evidence to sort out these other puzzling issues, historian and award-winning author Stephen Dando-Collins takes you to the world of Ancient Rome and recaptures the drama of Caesar's demise and the chaotic aftermath." -- from publisher

Hoyer, D. (2018). Money, culture, and well-being in Rome's economic development, 0-275 CE. Brill.

"The Roman Empire has long held price of place in the collective memory of scholars, politicians, and the general public in the western world. In Money, Culture, and Well-Being in Rome's Economic Development, Hoyer offers a new approach to explain Rome's remarkable development... Engaging with social scientific and economic theory, Hoyer highlights key issues in economic history, placing the Roman Empire in its rightful place as a special -- but not wholly unique -- example of a successful pre-industrial state." -- from publisher 

Matin, T. R. (2012). Ancient Rome: From Romulus to Justinian. Yale University Press. 

"With commanding skill, Martin tells the remarkable and dramatic story of how a tiny, poor, and threatened settlement grew to become, during its height, the dominant power in the Mediterranean world for five hundred years. Encompassing the period from Rome's founding in the 8th century BC through Justinian's rule in the 6th century AC, he offers a distinctive perspective on the Romans and their civilization by employing fundamental Roman values as a lens through which to view both their rise and spectacular fall." -- from publisher

Preston, D. (2009). Cleopatra and Antony: power, love, and politics in the ancient world. Walker & Co.

"The story of the world's best-remembered celebrity couple, set against the political backdrop of their time. In 30 BCE, the 39-year-old queen of Egypt, Cleopatra, took her own life rather than be paraded in chains through Rome by her conqueror, the future first emperor Augustus. A few days earlier, her lover of eleven years, Mark Antony, had himself committed suicide. Historian Diana Preston explores the lives and times of a couple whose names -- two millennia alter -- still invoke passion and intrigue." -- from publisher

Van Oyen, A. (2017). Materialising Roman histories. Oxbow Books.

"This book explores new perspectives to understand this Roman 'object boom' and its impact on Roman history. In particular, the book's international contributors question the traditional dominance of 'representation' in Roman archaeology, whereby objects have come to stand for social phenomena such as status, facets of group identity, or notions like Romanisation and economic growth... Materialising Roman History is essential reading for anyone studying material culture from the Roman world." -- from publisher

Consulting numerous neglected primary sources, Richard J. Hill demonstrates that Scott, usually seen as disinterested in the mechanics of publishing, actually was at the forefront of one of the most innovative publishing and printing trends, the illustrated novel...
