This is the first one-volume account of the massive impact of
Western civilization on the Pacific Islands and the Far East,
principally China and Japan. The effects on the two areas were very
different since, in the case of the islands, contact was with
peoples who were still in the Stone Age, while in the Far East
Westerners came up against sophisticated civilizations more ancient
and mature than their own. Because of these differences, the book
is divided into two sections, the first dealing with the Pacific
Islands and the second with the East Asian mainland. Reverse
influences--those of the Eastern cultures on the West--are also
discussed.
