The Pacific Ocean comprises over one-third of the surface area of the earth, so perhaps it is not surprising that observers have traditionally conceptualized this vast body of water as a colossal barrier to interchange until recent times. Current discussions about the Pacific Rim, the Pacific Century, and Asian economic miracles (including suddenly rising Asian tigers/dragons) reflect this background view that meaningful and lasting trans-oceanic Pacific activity is recent and unprecedented. Indeed, the late twentieth century did witness huge surges in activity across and within the Pacific. This series, however, The Pacific World: Lands, Peoples, and History of the Pacific, 15001900 , aims to call attention to important, but often ignored, trans- and intra-Pacific interactions that have been developing since the sixteenth century. Few people have fully realized the significance of the Pacific World legacy between the sixteenth and early twentieth centuries. Each volume in this series offers a selection of previously published articles, with individual editors providing fresh introductory essays that summarize and evaluate individual literatures on which each possesses expertise. Particular volumes may need to look back before the fifteenth century or forward into the twentieth, but the focus of the series is this period from 1500 to 1900.
