ISBN: 9780824831486 / Angielski / Miękka / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Were there major population collapses on Pacific Islands following first contact with the West? If so, what were the actual population numbers for islands such as Hawai'i, Tahiti, or New Caledonia?

Lewis Coolidge and the Voyage of the Amethyst, 1806-1811
ISBN: 9781570038167 / Angielski / Twarda / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a firsthand account of a nineteenth-century sealing expedition that recalls the spirit of Herman Melville.

End of the Line: A History of Railways in Papua New Guinea
ISBN: 9789980840967 / Angielski / Miękka / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Papua New Guinea is commonly thought to be a land without railways. At the very least, railways do not immediately come to mind as a topic for historical research in Papua New Guinea. Nevertheless, we set out to document and record something of the history of local railways in 1971, initially as individual projects. Inevitably, our interest in the topic of railways brought us together and we have been working collaboratively on our research since 1980.
At first the task was to identify and document the railways which have operated in Papua New Guinea. To our surprise, we now have records of... Papua New Guinea is commonly thought to be a land without railways. At the very least, railways do not immediately come to mind as a topic for histori...
