Not illustrated. 1889 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter viii. A visit to ponape, it3 guins, and its people. The products of Ponape--On the road to China and Japan--Pagans and Christians--Ravages of small-pox--At Kusaio by the way--At Pingelap and Mokal--Pet pigs--Pet frigate hirds--Spanish man-of-war--Mr. Kuharri-s work--Start for the ruins--A trader's hospitality--The islets on the reef--Massive and mysterious ruins--Who were the builders?--Native migrations--A pleasure trip from Atafu--Islanders born rovers--Islets of Ponape apparently coral--A rough passage--Native customs--Heathen and Christian at Kite--Mr. Begg of Ponape--. His career and opinions--Captain Edward Eodd, a Pacific celebrity--His early experiences and present opinions--Good-bye to the veterans--Recent massacre of Spanish governor and forty-five soldiers at Ponape. Poxape stands prominent among the very fevr mountainous islands which vary the monotony of innumerable atolls in the Outer Pacific. The massive ruins of Ponape are its most remarkable feature, speaking in their weird loneliness of some dead and forgotten race. By whom and for what purpose they were built are questions to which no answer has yet been given. A careful inspection of the country, and comparison with similar ruins if such there be in other countries, will give the only prospect of solving the mystery. The present inhabitants of Ponape can tell nothing about the ruins and attribute them to the devil, a solution perfectly satisfactory to their minds. They are incapable of conceiving the construction of such works, and the people who built them must have been of a race much more numerous and greatly in advance of the two or three thousand natives now occupying this large island. Of these natives, the accompanying photog

Scattered like dots rising from the deep across vast expanses of the world’s tropical and subtropical oceans, atolls with their turquoise lagoons and reefs teeming with colorful marine life have captured the public imagination. They have also been the homeland of millions of people for millennia as various groups of migrants spread across the far reaches if the Pacific, Indian and Western Atlantic regions. Developed from recently available satellite data, A Global Atlas of Atolls presents high-quality details of 476 atolls across the globe, characterizing aspects of the atoll rim, the lagoon, and their coral reef communities in unprecedented detail. In synthesizing and enhancing understanding of these unique seascapes, this volume provides a distinct compendium of descriptions and images, as well as documentation of the environmental conditions of winds, waves, and tides and a summary of the background literature for each atoll area. There is no comparable work. After an introduction that includes a glossary of terms, each atoll is documented in the form of an atlas written for scientists, but accessible to any diver or reader interested in these spectacular reef-island habitats. This book also describes some current challenges and perspectives on their future. It will be useful as a reference work for marine scientists, while providing a minimum of technical jargon for those who are not scientists, but who enjoy reading about exotic places with unusual attributes.
