The Prehistoric Exploration and Colonisation of the Pacific Paperback - 1994
by Geoffrey Irwin
From the rear cover
The exploration and colonisation of the Pacific is one of the most remarkable episodes of human prehistory. Early sea-going explorers had no prior knowledge of Pacific geography, no documents to record their route, no metal, no instruments for measuring time and none for navigation. This book, now in paperback, represents a major advance in knowledge of the settlement of the Pacific. Geoffrey Irwin uses an innovative model to establish a detailed theory of prehistoric navigation.

Description:
Cambridge UK: Cambridge University Press, 1994. reprint. Very Good/None. Softcover, 240 pages, b&w illustrations, diagrams.
