The Tiki Tales top selling book series, created, written and illustrated by Judi Riley, introduces keiki to rare and endangered Hawaiian animals. "This is the perfect Maui book for children of all ages. As a former Upcountry Maui bookseller, this book was my top recommendation and my top seller. The prose and artwork give a wonderful authentic picture of our island home." Shay C.H. from Maui Judi Riley's popular bedtime series is not just for bedtime story time, and can be found in elementary and preschool classrooms and are used to teach about Hawaiian culture, language and sense of place. Her series are also frequently (as in all of the time) selected for celebrity, Pro & VIP gift baskets, including the Hawai'i State Society's Inaugural Ball gift basket for President Obama, the Mercedes Golf Tournament, and the Maui Film Festival. Maui's mayor selected When I am Quiet on Maui for the island's time capsule that will be opened in 100 years. You'll have to ask her great great great grandchildren what she inscribed in the book and what messages she hid in the illustrations.
Invasive species have a critical and growing effect upon natural areas. They can modify, degrade, or destroy wildland ecosystem structure and function, and reduce native biodiversity. Landscape-level solutions are needed to address these problems. Conservation biologists seek to limit such damage and restore ecosystems using a variety of approaches. One such approach is biological control: the deliberate importation and establishment of specialized natural enemies, which can address invasive species problems and which should be considered as a possible component of restoration. Biological control can be an effective tool against many invasive insects and plants but it has rarely been successfully employed against other groups. Safety is of paramount concern and requires that the natural enemies used be specialized and that targeted pests be drivers of ecological degradation. While modern approaches allow species to be selected with a high level of security, some risks do remain. However, as in all species introductions, these should be viewed in the context of the risk of failing to reduce the impact of the invasive species. This unique book identifies the balance among these factors to show how biological control can be integrated into ecosystem restoration as practiced by conservation biologists. Jointly developed by conservation biologists and biological control scientists, it contains chapters on matching tools to management goals; tools in action; measuring and evaluating ecological outcomes of biological control introductions; managing conflict over biological control; and includes case studies as well as an ethical framework for integrating biological control and conservation practice. Integrating Biological Control into Conservation Practice is suitable for graduate courses in invasive species management and biological control, as well as for research scientists in government and non-profit conservation organizations.
A message of hope for blended families, from a couple who have been in the trenches - and made it. Blending a family is far more messy and complicated than any television show portrays. Beyond the Brady Bunch is a heart book, not a how-to book. Christians who find themselves in the midst of step-family life often feel hopeless and far from God, struggling with grief and unforgiveness. From personal experience the authors have found that all the how-to steps in the world don’t work if there isn’t first a heart change. Speaking with honesty and vulnerability they share their own mistakes and how God dealt with their hearts. The book will help stretch hearts, minds and homes past the image of “perfect” and another “happily ever after” into the hope of God’s promise to restore, heal and rebuild.
This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks, CROWNCOM 2021, held in December 2021, and the 14th International Conference on Wireless Internet, WiCON 2021, held in November 2021. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the conferences were held virtually. The 18 full papers of CROWNCOM 2021 were selected from 40 submissions and present new research results and perspectives of cognitive radio systems for 5G and beyond 5G networks, big data technologies, such as storage, search and management. WiCON 2021 presents 7 papers covering topics ranging from technology issues to new applications and test-bed developments, especially focusing on next-generation wireless Internet, 5G, 6G, IoT, Industrial IoT, Healthcare IoT, and related methodologies.
Land use in Hawai‘i remains the most regulated of all the fifty states. According to many sources, the process of going from raw land to the completion of a project may well average ten years given that ninety-five percent of raw land is initially classified by the State Land Use Commission as either conservation or agriculture. How did this happen and to what end? Will it continue? What laws and regulations control the use of land? Is the use of land in Hawai‘i a right or a privilege? These questions and others are addressed in this long-overdue second edition of Regulating Paradise, a comprehensive and accessible text that will guide readers through the many layers of laws, plans, and regulations that often determine how land is used in Hawai‘i. It provides the tools to analyze an enormously complex process, one that frustrates public and private sectors alike, and will serve as an essential reference for students, planners, regulators, lawyers, land use professionals, environmental and cultural organizations, and others involved with land use and planning.
