The latter experienced population growth, then tribal fights over scarce resources, a "surprise" drought with cataclysmic impact; and finally, a political leadership engrossed in short-term objectives and unwilling to focus on strategic planning for the long-term. Although it becomes apparent that Mother Teresa was human and an imperfect being, this does not diminish the value she has to others as a role model.. I'm a reader of Horton's books, and he would not travel this deep in his other writings, as he did here (I might be wrong) about his family and what he went through in the past.

His book is an early and significant contribution to the preservation of Hawaiian culture, as well as a rich collection of Hawaiian lore.. The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, by King David Kalakaua, who lived from 1836 to 1890, is a remarkable work. King Kalakaua ruled his subjects with sympathy and understanding and had a deep respect for their traditional knowledge. he was initiator of a general renaissance of Hawaiian culture that has continued to this day.His Hawaiian Majesty King David Kalakaua was a fascinating writer an mythologist who captured in these stories the romance of old Polynesia
