  • Pele's Tears by D.A
    Issues in Earth Science “Eww, There’s Some Geology in my Fiction!” Issue 9, May-June 2018 Teacher Resources Can Alana use clues from geology to clear her name after she's accused of stealing a volcanic stone on her tour of Mauna Loa in Hawaiʻi? Pele's Tears by D.A. Xiaolin Spires Divya stood up next to me and opened the window, while I fanned myself with a glossy book I’d brought to read on the bus. It had a photo of sapphires and rubies below the title, Rocks, Gems and Crystals- Geoscience for Amateurs. It was my third time reading it, but I couldn’t Pele's Tears — D.A. Xiaolin Spires Issues in Earth Science focus. It was hot in May at the Visitor Center at Kīlauea. My thighs were sticking to the school bus seats. Parked in front of Kīlauea Visitor Center, my classmates and I couldn’t wait to get out and check out Hawaiʻi’s famous Big Island volcanoes. Divya wiped sweat from her forehead with her sleeve. I took a sip of water from the bottle I carried in my backpack. I reached into my pocket to compare my Pele’s tear to a photo of a jet black arrowhead I saw in my book. It occurred to me that they looked a bit similar. “What’s that?” asked Divya. She pointed at my fist. I passed my Pele’s tear to Divya. She felt the weight of it in her palm. Obsidian black, long and shiny, it glimmered in the sun.

  • Photographically Illustrated Books About Hawai'i, 1854-1945
    LYNN ANN DAVIS Photographically Illustrated Books about Hawai'i, 1854-1945 THIS BIBLIOGRAPHY surveys books and pamphlets about Hawai'i with photographic illustrations.1 The first book illustration, from a daguerreotype, was an engraved portrait of the heir to the Hawaiian throne, Alexander Liholiho, published in 1854. The bibliography ends with the close of World War II in the Pacific in 1945. From the 1850s on, the U.S. government was increasingly interested in Hawai'i's strategic location. The Hawaiian Islands were the winter port for the American whaling fleet in the 1840s and 1850s. The discovery of gold in California in 1849 brought Americans to the West Coast, and by 1853 there were covert discussions about the possible annexation of the Islands by the United States. In January 1893 the Hawaiian monarchy was overthrown. An interim government was established, and businessmen with American ties lobbied the U.S. government for territorial status. This politically tumultuous period coincided with a development in printing tech- nology that, for the first time, made it possible to easily and cheaply reproduce continuous tone photographs by making halftone repro- ductions. Lynn Ann Davis is from Kane'ohe, O'ahu. She is Head of the Preservation Department at the University of Hawai'i at Mdnoa Library and previously worked at Bishop Museum as Chairman of the Archives and Visual Collections from 1973—93- She received a master's degree from University of New Mexico in 1984, and has published books and articles about photography in Hawai 'i.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.
