Loulu: The Hawaiian Palm
A beautiful, informative book. . . . Highly recommended. --CHOICE, 50:11, July 2013Loulu: The Hawaiian Palmis filled with color. . . . Unique, thoughtful touches abound, such as color-coded maps of the islands showing locations of wild plants. There is a deliberate lack of technical jargon, making the book accessible to lay readers, as well as botanists. The sections on cultivation and propagation are very detailed. The appendix on naturalized palms in Hawaii is particularly fascinating. --West Hawaii Today (16 December 2012)I am very enthusiastic about this book. It is a loving tribute to some very threatened, very beautiful palms. They are an irreplaceable part of Hawaii's natural history and patrimony. I hope this book brings the plight of these precious palms to the attention of the world. --Scott Zona, Department of Biological Sciences, Florida International UniversityLoulu: The Hawaiian Palmis filled with color. . . .
