Book Synopsis Science, Voyages, and Encounters in Oceania, 1511-1850 by : Bronwen Douglas
Book excerpt: Blending global scope with local depth, this book throws new light on important themes. Spanning four centuries and vast space, it combines the history of ideas with particular histories of encounters between European voyagers and Indigenous people in Oceania (Island Southeast Asia, New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands).
