With Krakatoa proving to be a volcanic event in publishing, interest in Pacific Ocean maps is higher than ever before. But while current maps are useful, the antique maps truly fascinate. Ancient maps of Oceania hold mysteries as old as time - were these early guides molded as much by fantasy as fact? Why did mapmakers take liberties with some of their subjects? Early Mapping of the Pacific bravely delves into these questions. Introduction 1. The Pacific Islands and Their People 2. Mariners, Mapmakers, and the Great Ocean 3. The Pacific Evolves after Magellan 4. In the Wake of the Solomon Islands 5. Earliest Mapping of Australia and New Zealand 6. The Age of Enlightenment 7. The Three Voyages of James Cook 8. The Discovery of Tahiti and Hawaii 9. The Eighteenth Century after Cook 10. Micronesia, the Elusive Isles 11. Surveyors, Whalers, and Missionaries Bibliography Index
