The Ancient World - Civilizations of Asia and the Pacific
Organized alphabetically within geographical volumes on Africa, Europe, the Americas, the Near East and Southwest Asia, and Asia and the Pacific, entries cover the social, political, scientific and technological, economic, and cultural events and developments that shaped the ancient world in all areas of the globe.
This cookbook has been compiled from recipes used in the Pacific islands, for the purpose of promoting the use of local foods. The importance and value of local foods can be addressed from many different perspectives. It is our hope that this cookbook can play a role in maintaining and developing cultural strengths, economic self-sufficiency, and healthy populations in the region. Local or ethnic foods, like language, are corner-stones of culture and identity.

Motoo Eetee: Shipwrecked at the Edge of the WorldSwimming for their lives from the senseless wreck of the American sealing ship Dove, four men escape-Thomas, a headstrong young sailor; Harrison, the affable, inventive ship's carpenter; Mr. Morgen, the Dove's pedestrian first mate; and the aging Captain Tobit, bungling, short-sighted, and fanatical. Bruised and naked, they find themselves cast away on an uncharted, uninhabited Pacific island where the bounty and beauty of all that surrounds them are at odds with the old structures of shipboard life.
