商品簡介
Seeking to bring a unity of geographic and temporal treatment to the history of New Guinea, in contrast to earlier treatments which draw sharp dividing lines between east and west or pre- and post-European contact, Moore (history, U. of Queensland, Australia) employs a variety of disciplines in order to construct his narrative. He begins with the development of agriculture and proceeds through early contact with Asian metal-using cultures, connections with the Malay world, early European exploration and exploitation, and on through the present day.
