| Abstract
|
:
|
Explores the extraordinary successes of the ancient voyaging peoples who first settled the Central Pacific islands some 2000 years ago. To describe and explain Micronesian societies, this book presents an overview of the region. It also considers scholarly debate about whether Micronesia actually exists as a genuine and meaningful region.
