Winner of the 2015 Samuel M. Kamakau Award for Hawai‘i Book of the Year

Winner of the 2015 Ka Palapala Po‘okela Award of Excellence in Hawaiian Language, Culture, and History

No Mākou ka Mana: Liberating the Nation asserts that the founders of the Hawaiian Kingdom exercised their own agency and were not just acted upon by foreign powers. The ruling ali‘i selectively appropriated tools and ideas from the West—including laws, religion, educational models, protocols, weapons, printing and map-making technologies, seafaring vessels, clothing, names, and international alliances. The result? A hybrid system based on an enduring tradition of Hawaiian governance and intended to preserve, strengthen, and maintain the lāhui. Using rare primary documents and “‘Ōiwi optics,” Beamer offers a new point of reference for understanding the motivations, methods, and accomplishments of Hawai‘i’s great leaders.

About the Author
Dr. Kamanamaikalani Beamer is an associate professor at the Center for Hawaiian Studies in the Hui ‘Āina Momona program at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, with a joint appointment in the Richardson School of Law and the Hawai‘inuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge. Previous to this role, Dr. Beamer was president and chief executive officer of the Kohala Center. Beamer’s research on governance, land tenure, and Hawaiian resource management, as well as his prior work as the director of ‘Āina-Based Education at Kamehameha Schools, prepared him for his continuing service as a director of Stanford University’s First Nations Futures Institute, a resource management development program for Indigenous leaders developed by Stanford, Kamehameha Schools, and Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu in New Zealand. Beamer has revitalized and maintained lo‘i kalo (taro ponds), providing him and his children opportunities to mālama ‘āina, deepen connections with cultural traditions, and derive leadership lessons from the land. In 2013 he was nominated and confirmed to a four-year appointment on Hawai‘i’s Commission of Water Resource Management and was reconfirmed in 2017 for an additional four-year term.

Clear, Practical Guide for Entry-Level to Intermediate Multifamily Underwriting
Format: Kindle
As someone learning multifamily underwriting from the ground up, this book was incredibly helpful. It breaks down complex underwriting concepts into a logical, step-by-step process that actually mirrors how deals are analyzed in the real world. What I appreciated most is that the author doesn’t just show formulas — he explains why assumptions matter, where risk hides, and how underwriting decisions affect outcomes. The sections on operating expenses, stabilization, financing, and sponsor economics were especially valuable and gave me a much clearer framework for analyzing multifamily properties with confidence. This book feels less like theory and more like a practical guide you can follow alongside a real underwriting model. I’d highly recommend it to anyone getting started in multifamily underwriting or looking to tighten up their analysis process.

Must Have Book for Investors or Sponsors/GPs wanting to Invest in Multifamily Properties!
Format: Paperback
If you understand the math and numbers associated with investing in real estate, this book will help you underwrite any multifamily property. Not only does Robert's book discuss how to gather the information needed for underwriting, he goes into detail on how sponsors can manipulate the numbers. This is a great book for knowledge on the pros and cons of varied partnership structures and how each can create an alignment of interest between limited partners (LPs) and general partners (GPs). Overall, this is a great easy read book.

Basic knowledge of underwriting is necessary to understand.
Format: Paperback
This is a great guide for underwriting multifamily deals for someone with some basic to moderate knowledge of underwriting. I am a new student to this field and have to stop and google some of the acronyms. For a future version, I think adding an extra page for the acronyms used, definition and equation would be helpful. I think that the font could be larger and darker. Adding mathematical formulas in the book would provide visualization as well. Rob can also provide a sample OM for the reader to use with his underwriting model and compare to his completed one. Again, I am a newbie so my review may change as I gain knowledge in this area. I enjoyed listening to Rob on Youtube/Podcast and hope to learn more from him.
