Harvard entomologist Dr. Trygve Lindstrom can't refuse a mysterious invitation to attend a conference in London, for "the greatest scientific expedition in history." The powerful pharmaceutical company, The Chapter, is funding dozens of prominent scientists for a year's sabattical to biological hotspots across the globe to collect specimens that may become tomorrow's miracle drugs. Lindstrom's assignment is a dream come true: collecting rare insects in a remote corner of Madagascar, the Red Island. Lindstrom soon befriends a reclusive Malagasy tribe of Rock People and begins sending hundreds of new and rare insect specimens to The Chapter. Sketchy documents and folklore attribute to the tribal shaman of this tribe an exceptionally long, youthful, disease-free life. Have the Rock People found the Fountain of Youth? Is there any truth to rumors of an insect, a bibeleky, whose bite confers youth and health? Lindstrom ridicules the native stories . . . until he discovers the frightening truth. The Chapter will stop at nothing to exploit such a priceless discovery.

During the years 1797-1820 the Qasimi Arabs or Qawasim, inhabitants of the present day United Arab Emirates, acquired an enduring reputation as ruthless pirates. Some of their victims flew the British flag, and thus their actions were to provide the initial stimulus and justification for 150 years of British involvement in the Gulf. Recently, however, it has been doubted whether the Qawasim were in fact pirates. In a scholarly but accessible account founded on contemporary sources, illustrated with testimonies of eye-witnesses and participants, this book sets out to decide this controversial question. By making use of valuable and hitherto untapped archival material, Charles Davies strongly evokes a flavour of life in the Gulf in this turbulent and formative period in the Gulf's history. This book represents the first in-depth investigation into this controversial subject. It is based on original research and and helps to explain why the Gulf is as it is today.

"Legends of Maui" includes numerous myths of Māui, Polynesian demi god of Polynesia and Hina who is sometimes in myths his mother, and sometimes his wife.

"Legends of Old Honolulu" is collection of ancient Hawaiian folktales which also includes some information about where the Hawaiians came from and the sacred places in Honolulu.

"Legends of Gods and Ghost-Gods" focuses on Polynesian mythology, taking a close look at Hawaiian folktales, mythology, and the history of the polytheistic practices still in place to this day. "Hawaiian Legends of Volcanoes" – The first part of this book focuses on the legends of Hawaii and its volcanoes. The second part considers the geology of the region and discusses the crack in the floor of the Pacific, Hawaiian volcanoes, volcanic activity and the changes in the Kilauea crater. It also looks at the foundation of the observatory. "Hawaiian Historical Legends" take the reader through Hawaiian history from ancient times to becoming an American state. He adds that Hawaiian people are not overly concerned with dates but that these stories are all related one to another.

Herein are 20 legends of Hawaii’s volcanoes and the demigods which occupy them. Many of these legends are about Pele who according to Polynesian myth lives in Kilauea. The story of Pele’s arrival and occupation of Kilauea can be found in the very first story, “AI-LAAU, THE FOREST EATER.” Ai-laau lived in the volcano spewing forth his fire from the great crater when Pele came to the seashore far below. On seeing Pele, Ai-laau was fearful and fled leaving the volcano to her, where until this day she digs and continues to release plumes of fire and rivers of lava. Herein you will find the legends of: Ai-Laau, The Forest Eater How Pele Came To Hawaii Pele And The Owl Ghost-God The Hills Of Pele Pele And The Chiefs Of Puna Pele's Tree Pele And Kaha-Wali Pele And Kama-Puaa Pele And The Snow-Goddess Genealogy Of The Pele Family Pele's Long Sleep Hopoe, The Dancing Stone Hiiaka's Battle With Demons How Hiiaka Found Wahine-Omao Hiiaka Catching A Ghost Hiiaka And The Seacoast Kupuas Lohiau The Annihilation Of Keoua's Army The Destruction Of Kamehameha's Fish Ponds Kapiolani And Pele We invite you to download and read this very topical edition of Legends Of Hawaii’s Volcanoes, the activity of which was just as important to the ancient, original inhabitants of Hawaii as they were to the second generation of Americans who have arrived on the islands in relatively recent times. Instead of wading through the scientific explanations for the recent volcanic activity, just maybe there is another, hitherto, unexplained reason for the eruptions, some of which also give an interesting perspective on Hawaiian history. =========== KEYWORDS/TAGS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, children’s stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, happy place, happiness, laughter, history, historical, Hawaii, Islands, , Pele, Hiiaka, lava, great, fire, Lohiau, beautiful, Kauai, crater, chief, goddess, forest, Kilauea, sister, power, water, volcano, journey, winds, spirit, Kama-puaa, dragons, Puna, pit, Hilo, smoke, Hopoe, clouds, fires, ferns, Kapiolani, struck, volcanic, islands, ancient, death, earth, fish, Wahine, omao, Kamehameha, lightning, mountains, Hawaiians, Pana-ewa, skirt, magic, waves, deep, leap, ocean, Kaha-wali, pig, stone, precipice, erupt, flowers, Poliahu, battle, anger, destroy, divine, river, flee, prophet, pour, native, Mauna, sleep, chant, holua, birds, evil, Na-maka-o-ka-hai, fire-goddess, dragon, Haumea, floods, lehua, king, surf, tabu, lover, ghost-gods, Oahu, Maui, Pau-o-palae, au-makuas, missionary, earthquake, sacrifice, Moo-lau, , canoe, Kane, west, kupuas, Keoua, Pii, Ku-waha-ilo, Lono-makua, Ai-laau, Kahuku, bones, Keaau, Kane-hoa-lani, Ka-moho-alii, whirlwind, traveller, guardians, Hiiaka
