Dissertation note: M.A. University of Durham 1971 Summary: "There are thousands of islands subsumed under the genus "Pacific Islands", but for this study the area considered is roughly that covered by the South Pacific Commission, except that Papa New Guinea is excluded while Guam and Easter Island are included. ... within this area are found some of the world's smallest territorial units, measured by either area or population. although the area encompassing these islands is about 12 million sq. miles of the Pacific, the islands (about 3,150) that are strewn across this vast tract of ocean totalled only about 36,000 sq. miles of land, of which about 20 islands account for almost 70 per cent of the land area and about 60 per cent of the populations. the islands, therefore differ greatly, not only in size and physical geography, but also in ethnic composition, social structure, resources, economic advancement, political status and population characteristics"--Introduction.
