The Aloha Shirt by Dale Hope,Gregory Tozian Pdf

Beautifully illustrated with more than 700 images, The Aloha Shirt: Spirit of the Islands tells the colourful stories behind the marvellous Hawaiian shirts: as cultural icons, evocative of the mystery and the allure of the Islands; as collectibles, valued by professional collectors and by the millions of tourists who still cherish the shirts hanging in their wardrobes; and as a lifestyle - casual, relaxed and fun. Drawing from hundreds of interviews, newspaper and magazine archives, and personal memorabilia, the author evokes the world of the designers, seamstresses, manufacturers and retailers of the Golden Age of the Aloha shirt (from the 1930s to the end of the 1950s), who created the industry and nurtured it from its single-sewing-machine shop beginnings to an enterprise of international scope and importance. Here are the fun-loving 1960s; interviews with collectors who preserve these shirts as fine works of art; and insights into the roles of coconut buttons, matched pockets, woven labels and exotic fabrics in the evolution of the Aloha shirt.

Hawai`i Unbuttoned by Craig Callaway Pdf

This is a practical guide to identifying, buying and selling older Hawaiian shirts, primarily those made from the 1930's to the Mid 1960's. It includes color photos of 385 shirt manufacturer's labels, arranged alphabetically and chronologically. This book "dates" labels and makes the information easy to find quickly. It acknowledges that some sellers can't -- or don't want to -- tell the difference between a shirt made in the 1940's and one made in the 2000's. After reading this book, you will be in a position to avoid falling victim to such sellers. The book also covers inconsistent sizing in Hawaiian shirts, the decision whether to wear or invest, using the Internet when shirt hunting, inspecting and measuring shirts, and more. Throughout, the emphasis is on practicality.

Hawaiian Shirts in the Electric Chair (REDUX) by Scott Laudati Pdf

Hawaiian Shirts in the Electric Chair REDUX is the reworked and reimagined edition of the classic debut poetry collection from Scott Laudati. Topics include his dog, New York City, aliens, death, New Jersey, love, heroin and pizza. This new edition from Cephalopress also features 10 all new poems, exclusive to this collection."The theme seems to be connected to remaining innocent, a will to preserve it, and a fear of losing it." - Elena Pollack, Albany Student Press"Hawaiian Shirts in the Electric Chair reads with the ensemble momentum of a concept album, building nuance and depth via cross-reference and consistency of tone rather than through complexity at line level. Between the suburbs and the city, and all that they stand for in Laudati's oeuvre, there is the ever-present fear not of age itself, but of fading away rather than burning out (that the collection features a poem entitled 'Mick and Keith Pt 1' suggests the reference). That fear informs the collection, is indeed its central theme, whether embodied by its gut-spreading midlifers or the beautiful youth of the depicted urbanites. Escaping mundanity is a mindset, the subtext whispers, and may just as easily achieved (or not) in those maligned suburbs as in the sensation-packed skyscrapers of NYC." - Sean Keenan, Trebuchet-Magazine

Social Change In The Pacific Islands by Robillard Pdf

First published in 1992. The Pacific Ocean is the largest geographical feature on the face of the earth, covering about one third of its entire surface. Occupying part of that large expanse are the far-flung islands of the Pacific. As the papers of this volume clearly indicate, the post-world war II era and decolonization have brought unprecedented change, and the Pacific is now experiencing problems that were formerly associated with other Third World nations. Most Pacific countries have rapidly expanding populations, and over half of all Pacific Islanders are now in their teenage years or younger. Education and modern communications have served to increase aspirations and attracted by hopes of employment and the distractions of urban life, islanders are gravitating to urban centers.
