- W658269493 abstract "This publication describes how fifteen hundred protestors line Kaua‘i’s pier and dozens more leap onto surfboards, boogie boards, and canoes, risking their lives to stop the oncoming colossus: the high-speed Hawaii Superferry riding in on a wave of deception and collusion. The protesters block the ship, and force it back to Honolulu. Why such outrage over a ferryboat? The book is a riveting tale of intrigue and corruption and an inspiring popular uprising against rampant commercialization. Impeccably researched, the book exposes hidden connections to defense industries preparing for Pacific conflicts, and an ambitious governor pandering to powerful military investors. The administration gives the mammoth catamaran—bigger than a football field—a free pass to blaze its way at forty miles per hour through protected whale breeding grounds and transport dangerous invasive species to fragile ecosystems, despite stringent environmental laws and a unanimous Supreme Court stop-order! Central to the story, the book speaks directly from Hawaii’s citizens fighting to protect their lands, and saying loud and clear, “Enough is enough.” The authors are joined by military observers, legal experts, and environmental professionals, to tell this compelling David-and-Goliath saga of local heroism versus global powers, exposing universal crises playing out in a Pacific archipelago." @default.
