The Prehistoric Exploration and Colonisation of the Pacific
Irwin, Geoffrey (University of Auckland)
The colonisation of the Pacific is a remarkable episode of human prehistory. Early explorers had no knowledge of Pacific geography, no instruments for measuring time and none for exploration. This book is a reassessment of the settlement of the Pacific. It suggests that exploration was rapid and purposeful and that navigation methods progressively improved.
