MIGRANT ECOLOGIES: ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORIES OF THE PACIFIC WORLD
Covering nearly one-third of the planet, the Pacific Ocean is remarkable for its diverse human and non-human inhabitants, their astounding long-distance migrations over time, and their profound influences on other parts of the world. This book creates an understanding of the past, present, and futures of the lands, seas, peoples, practices, microbes, animals, plants, and other natural forces that shape the Pacific. It effectively argues for the existence of an interconnected Pacific World environmental history, as well as for the Pacific Ocean as a necessary framework for understanding that history. Among the authors are Prof. Frank Zelko and Dr. Matthew Cavert.
