Migrant Ecologies : Environmental Histories Of The Pacific World
Paperback Edition: 1
Migrant Ecologies : Environmental Histories of the Pacific World is the first volume explicitly dedicated to the environmental history of Earths largest ocean. Covering nearly one-third of the planet,the Pacific Ocean is remarkable for its diverse human and non-human inhabitants, their astounding long-distance migrations over time, and their profound influences on other parts of the world. The fifteen chapters in this comprehensive collection, written by leading experts from across the globe, span vast array of topics, from disease ecology and coffee cultivation to nuclear testing and whaling practices. What unites these diverse contributions is a concern for how the people, places, and non-human beings of the Pacific World have been shaped by, and have in turn modified, their oceanic realm.
