Voyagers: The Settlement of the Pacific

Author: Nicholas Thomas

Description: Thousands of islands, inhabited by a multitude of different peoples, are scattered across the vastness of the Pacific.

Who were these people? Where did they come from? And how were they able to reach islands dispersed over such immense tracts of ocean?
