Book Synopsis How have Pacific Islanders voyaged across the vast ocean around them and navigated their small crafts from one distant place to another for thousands of years?

Review Quotes ?Although prepared for an anthropological series, this bibliography contains much that is important for history, sociology (race relations), and geography. Indigenous navigation methods and their relationship to the discovery and peopling of the Pacific islands have been a matter of interest and bafflement since the first Europeans entered that ocean. The 694 entries touch only briefly, if at all, on European Pacific exploration, and concentrate on local achievements. A short introduction, which reviews advances in understanding over the last few decades since Sharp dismissed Polynesian migrations as accidental, sets the tone for this useful accumulation of scientific research. All the expected names--Peter Buck, Ben Finney, Percy Smith, Andrew Sharp, Thor Heyerdahl, Elsdon Best, Robert Suggs--are present along with a host of others. The bibliography is divided into four parts: the Pacific in general, Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia. As might be expected, Polynesia provides by far the greatest number of entries. There are author, geographic, and subject indexes. Most annotations not only summarize the book or article cited, but also place it in a scientific and historical context. In fact, these annotations themselves provide a guide to the topic and amount to a comprehensive review of early Pacific navigation. The only puzzling feature is the random provision of library locations, which seem to serve no useful purpose. Recommended highly; essential for all Pacific and anthropology collections. It is a good example of a reference work that has transcended the limits of its genre.?-Choice?The exceptionally well-written annotations are among the best this reviewer has ever seen. Maritime history libraries and most general history collections will want to add this valuable work to their holdings.?-ARBA?The summaries are commonly clear and well done. The abstracts, on the whole, are carefully crafted, easing access, for layman and expert alike, to a broad range of information culled from widely scattered sources.?-Historical Geography"The exceptionally well-written annotations are among the best this reviewer has ever seen.

After the devastation of World War I, cultural life blossomed and reached its heyday in Berlin. The 1920s were a time in which all the arts, both old and new, were cold, raw, shocking and sharp-edged. But its "live fast, die young" ethos would be cut short by the rise of the Nazis.
