Product Description
Chapters: Îles Tuamotu-Gambier, Havaii, Iso 3166-2:pf. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 18. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Îles Tuamotu-Gambier (French: or Archipels des Tuamotu et des Gambier or Archipel des Tuamotu-Gambier or Tuamotu-Gambier or officially subdivision administrative des (Îles) Tuamotu-Gambier) geographically consist of the Tuamotus and the Gambier Islands which are geographically located closely together. Because of a difference between administrative districts and electoral circumscriptions on the Îles Tuamotu-Gambier, French Polynesia has 5 administrative subdivisions (French: ), but 6 electoral districts/electoral circumscriptions (French: ). Administratively, the Îles Tuamotu-Gambier form one of the 5 administrative subdivisions (subdivision administratives) of French Polynesia, the administrative subdivision of the Tuamotu-Gambier (Islands) (subdivision administrative des (Îles) Tuamotu-Gambier) with 17 communes: The 16 communes Anaa, Arutua, Fakarava, Fangatau, Hao, Hikueru, Makemo, Manihi, Napuka, Nukutavake, Puka-Puka, Rangiroa, Reao, Takaroa-Takapoto, Tatakoto and Tureia of the Tuamotus and the commune Gambier, comprising the Gambier Islands, the Acteon Group, and a few atolls. Whereas all other 4 administrative subdivisions (subdivisions administratives) of French Polynesia are at the same time also electoral districts/electoral circumscriptions (circonscriptions électorales) for the Assembly of French Polynesia (Assemblée de la Polynésie française), the Îles Tuamotu-Gambier are the only administrative district of French Polynesia that is not identical with an electoral district/electoral circumscription, but consists of 2 different electoral districts/electoral circumscriptions for the Assembly of French Polynesia. These 2 electoral districts/ele...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2659741 ... Read more

From the author: In order to address long-standing questions in the field of Pacific Island archaeology regarding the extent, timing, and causes of human-induced environmental change, as well as the deep history of the development of distinct regional agricultural and arboricultural adaptations, this study presents and discusses taxonomic identification data for 15 wood charcoal samples recovered from archaeological excavations in the Hatiheu Valley, Nuku Hiva, Marquesas Islands. This is some of the first archaeobotanical data collected and analyzed from this archipelago, and the only direct evidence of past distributions of economic and indigenous tree and shrub taxa in specific temporal and spatial contexts. The 14 native and Polynesian-introduced tree and shrub taxa identified are analyzed in view of their archaeobotanical and more modern distributions, as well as in consideration of radiocarbon dates obtained from five of the charcoal samples. Finally, these results are evaluated in regard to the degree to which they can provide useful cultural and environmental information relating to existing models of prehistoric Marquesan and broader Pacific Island settlement, economy, and environmental change over time. Keywords: archaeology, archaeobotany, anthracology, charcoal, Marquesas Islands.

Of interest to advanced French students and people interested in foreign policy
I am a person who started studying French late in life, and I have been trying to learn all I can about the language, the history, and the culture of France and the francophone (French-speaking) world.I have recently taken courses in French literature, cinema, and civilization.

In many respects, France is a microcosm, facing many of the same issues faced by the United States:globalization, unemployment, homelessness, education, health care, immigration by undocumented aliens, problems involving the cost of energy and environmental protection, as well as the perception of what others in the world think about them.

Americans, and I include myself, have too much of a one sided view that colored by our being upset by the fact that France did not support us in the Iraq war.We think emotionally, and respond by boycotting France as Fox News' own Bill O'Reilly suggested.Because we were a former British colony and are basically anglophone (English-speaking), we tend to adopt the more of the British approach to the world.Like it or not, France has a fine intellectual tradition, and like it or not, the French have a history of mastering the art of diplomacy.

I like the approach to Issues in the French-Speaking World because it is timely, and it includes both sides of the argument in controversial matters.This book is going to be a resource to me in my continuing studies of French.It is suitable for upper-level students of French, college international relations and political science students, and it would make an excellent resource for high school and college libraries.

A college-level survey for any library strong in French
Relationships between France and the rest of the world have often been strained, with tensions affecting both the identity of French speakers around the globe and issues concerning their heritage and culture. Michael Kline and Nancy Mellerski are professors of French at Dickinson College in Pennsylvania: their discussions of social issues ranging from immigration and European integration to Quebec's separatism and various social movements in other French-speaking nations make for an important college-level survey for any library strong in French studies.
