The vast geographic expanse of the Pacific--with its elaborate geological history, the mysteries surrounding its settlement, the diversity of its cultures, its long and varied colonial histories--has been the subject of countless books and articles, but few attempts have been made to produce a comprehensive compendium of this remarkable region in all its variety and complexity. The Pacific Island: An Encyclopedia brings together in one place for the first time information on major aspects of Pacific island life (the physical environment, peoples, history, politics, economy, society, and cultu
