For anyone who is interested in Hawaiian canoe racing, this book is excellent. It is not only
informative with lots of great information, but also has many great photos. Would make a great gift
for anyone interested in canoe racing especially those who have performed at one time in these races and
for current paddlers.

Product Description
If Oceanic canoes, by their very strangeness were surprising to the earliest European observers, it was not long before their descriptions shifted from being impressed, enthusiastic or fascinated and gave way to detailed observations, measurements, comparisons and representations. Canoes are also the means by which the islanders apprehend space. In this perspective, this interesting volume on the study of canoes of the Grand Ocean remains a vehicle for discovery. Contents: 1) Canoes of the Grand Ccean (Anne Di Piazza); 2) Early European descriptions of oceanic watercraft: Iberian sources and contexts (Carlos Mondragon and Miguel Luque Talava); 3) Voyaging exchanges: Tahitian pilots and european navigators (Anne Salmond); 4) Traditional oceanic canoes as seen by Admiral Paris (Eric Rieth); 5) Polynesian representations of geographical and cosmological space: Anuta, Solomon islands (Richard Feinberg); 6) Origins and relationships of Pacific canoes and rigs (Adrian Horridge); 7) Dugout and sewn plank canoe construction on Raivavae, Austral islands (Robert Veccella); 8) Simulating island discovery during the Lapita expansion (Chris Avis, Alvaro Montenegro and Andrew Weaver); 9) Simulating polynesian double-hulled canoe voyaging. combining digital and experimental data to prepare for a voyage to Rapa Nui (Easter Island) (Bradley M. Evans). ... Read more
