Review: Great introduction to the Pacific world. - This book is a great overview of the Pacific Ocean as a historical topic... A really great read ad very enjoyable! It will enlighten you to the uniqueness of Pacific history as well as its significance !
Review: Fantastic book! - Igler takes the reader on a fascinating journey, as he invites us to consider the ocean as the starting point for analyzing cultures and peoples. The land is on the periphery of a new way of seeing history and cultural development. The American West is actually the Pacific East in this construct! We meet fabulous characters - ruffians, explorers, and saints - as Igler explores a crucial time period in the development of the U.S. and Pacific worlds. The book is full of adventure and scholarship, and it took me to places and people I'd never even heard of! I'd recommend it heartily for the more thoughtful reader, and think it would make a great mini-series!
