Abstract:
This publication examines how humans have created culturally significant landscapes by building architecture and modifying the physical environment, and how that, in turn, molded human behavior. It considers the ways in which people created and lived in the landscapes of the Pacific prior to European contact. Edited by noted Pacific scholars Thegn Ladefoged and Michael Graves, the volume includes papers by Atholl Anderson, Shankar Aswani, Ethan E. Cochrane, Janet Davidson, Julie S. Field, Roger C. Green, Michael Graves, Thegn Ladefoged, Foss Leach, Takuya Nagoaka, Blaze O’Connor, Julie M. E. Taomia, Christophe Sand, Peter J. Sheppard, Christopher Stevenson, Stephen K. Wickler, and Richard Walter.
