He targets three audiences: students in college and university anthropology classes covering Pacific Island societies; Micronesians, particularly youth who seek "an accessible, reliable and respectful account of their ancestors' lives"; and scholars of Oceanic societies. All three will find value in the work.... [The] volume will become the standard by which future synthetic treatments of Micronesia are judged. Summing Up: Essential.  --Choice, May 2010 (47:9)
