Guidebook Features "Hawaii's Parklands"

Hawai'i Parklands is more than a pretty-pic-tures guide book. It is a eompanion to various parts of Hawai'i whieh are national, state, county, and private parks and sites. A helpful index in the back outlines basic information about parks on all islands.

Organized thematically, the book covers parks relating to: volcanoes (Diamond Head, Hawai'i Volcanoes and Haleakala National Parks, for example); parks that deal specifically with natural history, flora, fauna; parks that speak of Hawai'i kahiko (Honaunau, Pu'u Kohola, Lapakahi, Mo'okini Heiau, Kaneaki Heiau, Waimea Falls Park); and historic parks (Thomas Square is Hawaii's oldest park since 1843; 'Iolani Palaee, Mauna 'Ala Royal Mausoleum); and beach and shore parks. It features 98 color photographs in a 112-page book.
