This is the only way we could think of to portray hundreds of relatively small islands efficiently. The atlas cover the Cook Islands, Easter Island, Hawaiian Islands, Nauru, considered Polynesia, in that Vanuatu, Kiribati, Tuvalu, and New Caledonia were left out because we do not have artwork for these areas, but this is as good as gets for now! Hawaii occupies 44 pages of the atlas.the island is included because evidence is that the original settlers migrated from Polynesia, not Peru, and occupies another 18 pages. Maps of the South Pacific Islands are difficult to prepare, being small land masses in a vast ocean. This atlas is an attempt to combine as many such islands together into a comprehensive whole to enough market demand to afford a map of Pitcairn or the Marshalls or Vanuatu, but if there is, I can't see it. We're pleased to have been able to pull together so many diverse island entities into one volume and hope that you'll agree that this part of the world has a combined market justifying producing such an atlas. The artwork is excellent, the coverage comprehensive.
