In this fascinating and exciting overview, Donald B. Freeman
explores the role of the Pacific Ocean in human history. Covering
over one third of the globe, the Pacific Ocean plays a vital role
in the lives and fortunes of more than two billion people who live
on its rim-lands and islands. It has played a crucial part in
shaping the histories of the different Pacific cultures, towards
which it has appeared in a variety of different guises. Exploring
the ocean's place in human history, this wide ranging book draws
together the long and varied physical, economic, cultural and
political history of the Pacific, from Prehistory through to the
present day. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to show the
changing viewpoints of those who explored, exploited and settled
the Pacific, including the inhabitants of its Asian and American
rim-lands. The book draws on new research in a variety of areas,
such as early Pacific migrations, impacts of European colonization,
the effects of climate change, and current economic and political
developments. It provides a uniquely broad overview that will be of
vital interest to students and to all those with an interest in
World History.
