The South Pacific is a vast region occupying 30 million square kilometres of the Pacific Ocean, an area more than three times larger than the United States of America or China. Of this, only 2% is land, scattered over a myriad of large and small islands with a total land area of only 500,000 square kilometers. The region is also home to an incredibly diverse range of peoples and their cultures, with three commonly recognised subregional constituents — Micronesia, Polynesia and Melanesia.3 copies|Also available online|Tuvenv copy kept at ACT|SLIC also hold French versionCall Number: 333.72 ,[EL]ISBN/ISSN: 982-04-0113-5Physical Description: iv, 40 p. ; 26 cm
