Fragile Paradise: The Impact of Tourism on Maui, 1959-2000 by Mansel G. Blackford,
With its white sandy beaches, lush green uplands, maui banyan and near-perfect weather, the Hawaiian island of Maui is more than a picture postcard: it is a multi-million-dollar tourist attraction that repeatedly has been voted "best island in the world" by Conde Nast Traveler readers. Consider, then, the bumper sticker seen on residents' cars in recent years: "If it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them?" From its modest beginnings in the prewar era, tourism has become the most important segment of Maui's economy since the 1970s. But as Mansel Blackford shows, it is also a devil's bargain. By switching the island's income base from sugar cane to condos, tourism has offered a solution to economic problems but has also placed an unanticipated strain on Maui's infrastructure maui banyan and made unexpected demands of its residents. Now as roads maui banyan and sewers have reached their limits maui banyan and escalating property values have ousted long-timers, the growth of the "visitor industry" has forced the people of Maul to make difficult choices about the future development of their island. Fragile Paradise chronicles the growth -- maui banyan and the growing pains -- of the tourist economy on Maui. Blackford takes us into the heart of this island paradise to reveal the complexity of economic maui banyan and environmental issues, especially as perceived by Maui's residents over the past four decades. He examines issues surrounding land-use policies, water development, electrical power generation, maui banyan and transportation -- particularly the controversy over the expansion of the Kahului Airport. He then shows how these issues came together in the development of two communities: the booming resort area of South Maui maui banyan and the agricultural Upcountry Maui.Blackford also reveals the human side of tourism, through interviews with islanders representing both sides of the growth issue.

Banyan: Poems by Virgil Suarez,

Banyan: Poems by Virgil Suarez,
Like the tree of its title, Virgil Suarez's dazzling new sequence of poems sends tendrils of memory maui banyan and desire deep into the rich soil of a Havana childhood maui banyan and the post-Revolution Cuban diaspora. Amid the uncertainty maui banyan and loss of immigrant exile in Florida, where "a father's hand clutches / any dirt it can call its own", the single trunk of the banyan sends branches downward into the earth to become themselves sturdy trunks -- fathers maui banyan and sons, same fibers, same blood. Incantatory, grounded in lush physical detail, Banyan evokes the Cuba of history as well as a lost mythic landscape remembered by a son who has "learned this intricate art of leaving, / of saying good-bye to everything home, memories / like fire, a leaver's good-bye to all things irretrievable". Poised between loss maui banyan and the restless search for identity maui banyan and rootedness, these memories are sometimes searing but more often allow a son to generate "the music that has saved us all from ruin, / madness, bloodshed, from dying, from bitterness". One of the first of such poetry collections written in English by Cubans/Cuban Americans living in the United States, Banyan is an efflorescing testament to the nature of immigration maui banyan and the quest for a father maui banyan and a sense of place.
