Full Description

In 1975, Hawaiian scholars Rubellite Kawena Johnson and John Kaipo Mahelona published Na Inoa Hoku, a Catalogue of Hawaiian and Pacific Star Names. Though long out of print, Na Inoa Hoku is still widely regarded as a definitive source of reference for anyone interested in the use of astronomy in Polynesian voyaging or the nature and development of ritual and calendrical practices throughout the Pacific. Working together with British archaeoastronomer Clive Ruggles, the authors have extensively revised and extended the catalogues and transformed the discussion of their wider context and significance, resulting in a much stronger focus upon the rich historical legacy of the Hawaiian Islands themselves. This new edition of Na Inoa Hoku is completely overhauled, vastly expanded, and includes new translation of many key primary Hawaiian sources from the mid-nineteenth century onwards.
