Indigenous Navigation and Voyaging in the Pacific: A Reference Guide

How have the Pacific islanders voyaged across the vast ocean around them and navigated their small crafts from one distant place to another for thousands of years? This reference guide describes the literature on indigenous navigation and voyaging in the Pacific. The annotated bibliography covers journal articles and books written in several languages including Dutch, English, German, Japanese, French and Spanish pointing to materials of both recent and early origin. The entries are arranged alphabetically by author under Pacific, Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia chapters. Indexes to authors, geographic areas and to subjects provide the reader with easy access to the entries.
