The _two volume_ Cambridge History of the Pacific Ocean dropped this month. Ann Perez Hattori, Jane Samson, Paul D'Arcy, Ryan Jones -- what more could you want?

Looking forward to getting my hands on this!

Not to be confused with the early and still-useful Cambridge History of Pacific Islanders.

I do not have a lot of good things to say about HAU, but I am glad that they reprinted Strathern's "Property, Substance, and Effect" #openaccess

I will admit I have managed to go 23 years without reading it and have still had a healthy and happy life. Still, an OA version pleases existing trufans and may make a few new ones.
