French-Speaking_Pacific of the geography of the Pacific Island countries. It consists of a series of studieson the Frenchspeaking Pacific Territories (Vanuatu, new caledonia, French http://www.uq.net.au/~zzjlache/boombana/fsp.html
Extractions: (272 pages, 243 x 174 mm, PB, ill., ISBN 1 876542 02 0) This volume is an important contribution to our understanding of the geography of the Pacific Island countries. It consists of a series of studies on the French-speaking Pacific Territories (Vanuatu, New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Wallis and Futuna), the greater part of which are the fruit of entirely new and original work. It then both constitutes an in depth presentation of these territories, their particularities, their problems, and contains much food for thought in its analyses of the natural (terrestrial and marine) and the human (socio-cultural and economic) environments of these islands. French research on the Island Pacific has long been substantial and often of exceptionally high quality. It has markedly been transformed by the appearance, in the 1980s and 1990s, of a new generation of Pacific geographers whose scholarship has developed within the Islands themselves rather than having been transposed from other parts of the tropical world. This is a key publication for geographers, a unique resource for teachers, a reference for all those concerned with the question of effectively managing the future of the Pacific Islands. It will also prove invaluable to professionals in many fields who have research, cultural or trade interests in the region. For the general public, it is a much needed complement to commonly available tourist-oriented presentations of the Islands.
