N2  - "Explorers of the Pacific by the late Peter H. Buck (Te Rangi Hiroa) is a posthumous contribution that meets fully the exacting standards set in his previous writings by this distinguished student of Polynesia. The book is a byproduct of an earlier monograph, "An introduction to Polynesian anthropology." It was Dr. Buck's original intention to write a section on the European explorers of the Pacific for his annual report as director of the Bishop Museum, but he became so interested in the early voyagers and their reports on the people of the islands that he produced a book instead"--Foreword / Alexander Spoehr, page volume
