Hawaii's Future
As Hawaii's longest-serving governor, George R. Ariyoshi was a prime architect of Hawaiian statehood, widely recognized for his leadership in long-range planning and the protection and management of the Islands' natural resources. Now, after sixty years of statehood, Gov. Ariyoshi looks back on whether the performance has matched the plans-and offers a sweeping vision for managing growth and shaping Hawaii's future for the generations to come.
Who Runs the University?
The author describes with unusual candor the behind the scenes activity, the give and take, and the decisions of high-ranking university officials responsible for exercising authority at the University of Hawaii, including regents, administrators, deans and directors, and faculty. The actions of non-university officials who influence Hawaii's higher education policy and funding are also described; federal officials, state officials, and powerful legislators.
With Obligation to All
The epic story of the post-war transformation of Hawaii comes to life here, in the pages of With Obligation to All. George R. Ariyoshi was the youngest of the young Democrats who rose to power in the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii in 1954. Twenty years later he became the first nonwhite governor of an American state, serving an unequaled 13 years as Hawaii's chief executive. Ariyoshi believed in equality, opportunity, and mutual obligation. In the application of his philosophy, he nurtured a community-building form of government that was a model of fairness and openness. He worked patiently at diminishing the persistent prejudice directed against people of Japanese ancestry in America. To people of all backgrounds, he quietly but steadfastly preached a gospel of self-acceptance--of individuals contributing by being themselves.
Japanese Eyes American Hearts
Japanese Eyes... American Heart is a rare and powerful collection of personal thoughts written by the soldiers themselves, reflections of the men's thoughts as recorded in diaries and letters sent home to family members and friends, and other expressions about an episode that marked a turning point in the lives of many.
Collective Bargaining in the Public Sector: The Experience of Eight States
Unlike Europe, where most public sector workers have long been included in collective bargaining agreements, the United States excluded public employees from such legislation until the 1960s and 70s. Since then, union membership in the U. S. has grown more rapidly among public workers than among workers in the private sector. This book provides up-to-date information on public sector collective bargaining in the United States today. The editors' seek to understand the real nature of PSB by examining eight states where the action is taking place -- California, Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The chapters offer unique case studies of legal origins, developments, and challenges to collective bargaining; negotiations experience and outcomes; discussion of legislation; and emphasis of histoical development as well as current practice.
