Te Moana Nui a Kiwa: The Tide-Beating Heart of Earth
The Cambridge History of the Polar Regions
The Cambridge History of the Polar Regions is a landmark collection drawing together the history of the Arctic and Antarctica from the earliest times to the present. Structured as a series of thematic chapters, an international team of scholars offer a range of perspectives from environmental history, the history of science and exploration, cultural history, and the more traditional approaches of political, social, economic, and imperial history.…
The Cambridge History of the Pacific Ocean: The Pacific Ocean To 1800
Volume I of The Cambridge History of the Pacific Ocean provides a wide-ranging survey of Pacific history to 1800. It focuses on varied concepts of the Pacific environment and its impact on human history, as well as tracing the early exploration and colonization of the Pacific, the evolution of Indigenous maritime cultures after colonization, and the disruptive arrival of Europeans. Bringing together a diversity of subjects and viewpoints, this vo…
The Life of Permafrost: A History of Frozen Earth in Russian and Soviet Science, by Pei-Yi Chu
Vladimir Arsen’ev and Whales in Russia’s Revolutionary Far East
This article examines the contributions the famous Far Eastern writer Vladimir Arsen’ev made to the development of the Russian/Soviet whaling industry in the 1920s. During that time Arsen’ev worked as a “specialist for marine mammal hunting” for Dal’rybokhota. He studied the whales of the Russian Far East and helped craft the Far Eastern Republic’s policy toward its subjects who wanted to start whaling. As someone with a deep knowledge of imperia…
Bill Dawbin, Tasman Diplomacy, and the Great South Pacific Humpback Collapse of 1959–62
The history of industrial whaling in Oceania, along with crucial moments in the diplomatic histories of Australia and New Zealand, sometimes turned on questions of whale behaviour. So did individual human lives. This article puts together the histories of whale communities and the history of cetacean science in order to unravel the meaning of some key moments in the environmental history of the South Pacific, including Oceanian attempts to increa…
The Nature of Soviet Power: An Arctic Environmental History, by Andy Bruno
A Whale of a Difference: Southern Right Whale Culture and the Tasman World's Living Terrain of Encounter
This article examines the cross-cultural histories that developed around the bay whale fisheries of the Tasman World (Australia and New Zealand) in the early nineteenth century. Using new insights about whale culture from marine biology and data gleaned from whaling logs, it posits that changing right whale cultures significantly influenced the ways that Aboriginals and Māori participated in the industry, and thus deeply shaped colonial histories…

Katerina Martina Teaiwa. Consuming Ocean Island: Stories of People and Phosphate from Banaba
Katerina Martina Teaiwa’s ambitious, personal, and poignant Consuming Ocean Island: Stories of People and Phosphate from Banaba takes up one of the Pacific’s consummate colonial tragedies—Australian John Arundel’s discovery of phosphate-rich rock guano on the island and the subsequent mining by the British Phosphate Company (BPC). The BPC’s mining wrecked Banaba, which forced the island’s inhabitants into an ongoing exile in Fiji after World War …
Expedition into Empire: Exploratory Journeys and the Making of the Modern World
A Savage History: Whaling in the Pacific and Southern Oceans
John Newton's A Savage History is a beautifully illustrated, sometimes potted history of whaling in several oceans and centuries. Pacific historians and historians of whaling will find little new i
Guano and the Opening of the Pacific World: A global ecological history
Gregory Cushman's Guano and the Opening of the Pacific World makes a bold attempt to delineate the remarkably thick threads connecting the local history of guano production in the Pacific to the pr
Kelp Highways, Siberian Girls in Maui, and Nuclear Walruses: The North Pacific in a Sea of Islands
Epeli Hau‘ofa's definition of the Pacific as a ‘sea of islands' should be extended to the Indigenous history of the North Pacific Ocean. Several themes prominent in the history of Oceania – such as humans' orientation towards the ocean, the complex ways in which European and Indigenous histories mixed in the colonial era, and the notion of vast, interconnected spaces – apply to North Pacific history as well. This essay looks at the ways in which …
Running into Whales: The History of the North Pacific from below the Waves
A ‘Havock Made among Them’: Animals, Empire, and Extinction in the Russian North Pacific, 1741–1810
In the second half of the eighteenth century, Russian fur traders in the North Pacific decimated marine mammal populations, a loss made easier to observe by the region's island geography. At the same time, European and Russian observers on several Russian-sponsored voyages of exploration noted the extinction and near extinction of these animals with alarm. In their published accounts of their voyages, these observers linked the extinction to the …
Klarius Mikkelsen's landing site: Some further notes on the 1935 Norwegian visit to the Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica
Further details regarding the landing made by Klarius Mikkelsen in the Tryne Islands, Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica, are given, being derived mainly from newspaper accounts made by Leif S0rsdal. All involved in the landing on 20 February 1935 have been identified, details of material left in the depot under the raised flag are given, and more extended information relating to the voyage to and from the site and the area generally are presented. …
