I have two doctoral degrees (Moscow State University, Russia and Max Planck-Institute of Biochemistry, Germany). During the last 15 years I have been deeply involved in microbiology-related research centers around the world, e.g., New Zealand, Malaysia, Bangladesh and South Africa. I have worked at the University of Hawaii at Manoa for 20 years. Microbes are critically important in the production of foods, fuels, industrial materials, and the air we breathe. Human biology can no longer concern itself only with human cells: Microbes at different body sites show profound differences and show how microbes contribute to tissue and organ function. Plant and microbes are bonded forever helping each other with nutrients and defense. Our Hawaiian Archipelago is one of the most diverse ecosystems of our planet earth. It has more diversity than Galapagos Island (Darwin wrote his famous book Origin of Species based on Galapagos Island). Just think a minute, what would have written by Darwin, if he would have visited our diverse and beautiful Hawaiian islands. I want our local school to graduate students to explore, and to make ground-breaking discoveries of our vast microbial diversity here in our islands. We can do that in many ways, but start early just by introducing something as simple (yet significant) as a state microbe.

P. 2 1 Digit zed by Google \ PREFACE AT the request of the Board of Education, I have .fi. endeavored to write a simple and concise history of the Hawaiian people, which, it is hoped, may be useful to the teachers and higher classes in our schools. As there is, however, no book in existence that covers the whole ground, and as the earlier histories are entirely out of print, it has been deemed best to prepare not merely a school-book, but a history for the benefit of the general public. This book has been written in the intervals of a labo­ rious occupation, from the stand-point of a patriotic Hawaiian, for the young people of this country rather than for foreign readers. This fact will account for its local coloring, and for the prominence given to certain topics of local interest. Especial pains have been taken to supply the want of a correct account of the ancient civil polity and religion of the Hawaiian race. This history is not merely a compilation. It is based upon a careful study of the original authorities, the writer having had the use of the principal existing collections of Hawaiian manuscripts, and having examined the early archives of the government, as well as nearly all the existing materials in print.
