The authors of this book analyze the formation of their human-environment systems using oral histories, biophysical evidence, and historical records, arguing that the Polynesian islands can serve as useful models for how human societies in general interact with their environments. The islands' clearly defined (and relatively isolated) environments, comparatively recent discovery by humans, and innovative and dynamic societies allow for insights not available when studying other cultures. Kamana Beamer, Te Maire Tau, and Peter Vitousek have collaborated with a dozen other scholars, many of them Polynesian, to show how these cultures adapted to novel environments in the past and how we can draw insights for global sustainability today."--Publisher description. 650 0 $a Human ecology $z Islands of the Pacific. 650 7 $a NATURE / Environmental Conservation & Protection. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Human ecology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00962941 651 7 $a Pacific Ocean $z Islands of the Pacific. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244201 700 1 $a Tau, Te Maire, $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n93066337 $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000055656219. 700 1 $a Vitousek, Peter Morrison, $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no93030234 $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000044145798. 700 1 $a Anderson, Atholl, $e contributor. 700 1 $a Chadwick, Oliver A., $e contributor. 700 1 $a Duarte, T.
