Reading List
There is no one book about all of Oceania and no one book that deals with all of the topics in this course. To get adequate coverage several books would have to be purchased and books published in Australia and New Zealand are very expensive. Therefore, I do not expect you to purchase any text books for this course. Instead I have put a number of books on 2 hour reserve in the Library for you to consult on a chapter by chapter, topic by topic basis. I have simplified this list by referring only to the author's name and the relevant chapter number or numbers. The key to the abbreviations is as follows, Campbell = I. C.
