Freeman, The Pacific (London, 2010). David Armitage and Alison Bashford have edited Pacific histories: Ocean, land, people (Basingstoke, 2014). On the islands, a vast amount of information is gathered in Brij V. Lal and Kate Fortune, The Pacific islands: An encyclopedia (Honolulu, HI, 2000) and interpretations in Paul D’Arcy, The people of the sea: Environment, identity and history in Oceania (Honolulu, HI, 2006) and Nicholas Thomas, Islanders: The Pacific in the age of Empire (New Haven, CT, 2010). Historiographically oriented studies include Doug Munro and Brij Lal, eds., Texts and contexts: Reflections in Pacific Island historiography (Honolulu, HI, 2005); Damon Salesa, ‘The world from Oceania’, in D.
