A spiritual resource for sustainable living, this poem records the creation story of the Hawaiian people. It was translated into English by Queen Lili'uokalani of Hawaii in 1897, while she was under house arrest at Iolani Palace, for her refusal to cooperate with overseers from the U. S. mainland. The poem tells the origin of the stars in the heavens, the plants and animals useful to life on earth, all things named within the chain of birth, and all their representatives in the spirit world: how all of this was born from darkness: The slime, the source of ever deeper darkness, Out of the depth of darkness, depth of darkness; From the sun's darkness, from the depth of night, Came night, and so it was, the night was born.

REVIEW :
They send their son away to work at a logging camp with a friend. If everyone would set their goals as high as Mr. Being an avid reader, I understand that some small typos sometimes slip through, but with a book this short, it doesn't seem that this many mistakes should have slipped through with just a little bit of care and proofreading.
Overall, this book is ok. It's also a great gift for Christmas! I bought three as gifts. It was Sarnoff who recognized the technical superiority of Armstrong's regenerative circuit and recommended that Marconi license it. I'm glad that I ordered it and I am pleased with how the book arrived in fairly good condition. One cockroach in a crate of strawberries.
Chapter 34 - Frames and reality. I'm still only 70% of the way through the book partly because I am reading every single word and tryiing to learn the Indian words he is explaln
