Good book, I like that he has a good appreciation of how important geography is. It is a set of 11 or 12, depending how you count, varying accounts of political, cultural, and environmental aspects of the Pacific. Most of them have their roots in the 1950s and 1960s, since that is when the 72 year old author made his impressions of the world. If you loved "Outpost", this continues it in some ways.
