Honolulu Star Bulletin "Frierson is brilliant on the subject of volcanoes." San Francisco Chronicle "Intertwining myth, science, history and personal narrative makes complex worlds tangible in The Last Atoll and The Burning Island. Instead of struggling through the academic, specialized language that nature writing can sometimes employ, readers are there, wide-eyed and learning alongside Frierson. These stories offer a connection to our place in this fascinating ecosystem, and through that connection, a sense of belonging." -- Honolulu Weekly
Synopsis
Westerners--from early missionaries to explorers to present-day artists, scientists, and tourists--have always found volcanoes fascinating and disturbing. Native Hawaiians, in contrast, revere volcanoes as a source of spiritual energy and see the volcano goddess Pele as part of the natural cycle of a continuously procreative cosmos. Volcanoes hold a special place in our curiosity about nature. The Burning Island is an intimate, multilayered portrait of the Hawaiian volcano region--a land marked by a precarious tension between the harsh reality of constant geologic change, respect for mythological traditions, and the pressures of economic exploitation. Pamela Frierson treks up Mauna Loa, the world's largest active volcano, and Kilauea to explore how volcanoes work, as well as how their powerful and destructive forces reshape land, cultures, and history. Her adventures reveal surprising archeological ruins, threatened rainforest ecosystems, and questionable real estate development of the islands. Now a classic of nature writing, Frierson's narrative sets the stage for a larger exploration of our need to take great care in respecting and preserving nature and tradition while balancing our ever-expanding sense of discovery and use of the land.

    A shipping label was created for my item, and I received a tracking number--but it never shipped. I reached out to the seller, who explained that it must have gotten lost and never scanned in. They immediately sent me a refund. I was disappointed, as I was looking forward to this DVD. However, I really appreciated this seller's prompt response, honesty, and integrity.
