Review
"Now into his ninth productive decade, Douglas Oliver is the dean of Pacific anthropologists. Throughout his teaching and writing career he has always been a superb synthesizer of Pacific knowledge. Here, he updates us all on the state of our knowledge of Polynesian pre-history - that time horizon where the old ways dropped into dim memory and a new story of mixing and clashing cultures begins. Oliver has not lost his observer's edge or his writing skill. This is an intelligently produced and richly illustrated book about a people who explored a third of the earth's surface before Columbus was even born." - Pacific Magazine"
