Environmental Change in the Pacific Basin: Chronologies, Causes, Consequences Patrick Nunn
A poorly-known region of the Earth's surface, the Pacific Basin is likely to gain far greater importance during the forthcoming Pacific Century. This book outlines the distant origins of the Pacific Basin and how the present configuration of land and sea emerged. It serves as a reference text for specific questions about a particular time/region, and also offers clear explanations for those wanting to learn about the Pacific Basin.
