Requests:  0 Summary:  "Braided Waters sheds new light on the relationship between environment and society by charting the history of Hawaii's Molokai island over a thousand-year period of repeated settlement. From the arrival of the first Polynesians to contact with eighteenth-century European explorers and traders to our present era, this study shows how the control of resources--especially water--in a fragile, highly variable environment, has had profound effects on the history of Hawaii. Wade Graham examines the ways environmental variation repeatedly shapes human social and economic structures and how, in turn, man-made environmental degradation influences and reshapes societies. A key finding of this study is how deep structures of place interact with distinct cultural patterns across different societies to produce similar social and environmental outcomes, in both the Polynesian and modern eras--a case of historical isomorphism with profound implications for global environmental history"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 304.20969 Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 304.20969 Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library R -- Hawaiian & Pacific H 304.20969 Gr Non Circulating   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 304.20969 Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library R -- Hawaiian Reference H 304.20969 Gra Non Circulating   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 304.20969 Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library R -- Hawaiian Reference H 304.20969 Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 304.20969 Gr Checked out 05/20/2024 Add Copy to MyList
