This fourth edition of Fiji in the Pacific aims to provide students with an updated resource for their history and geography studies. Changes in this edition include more detail about the history of Rotuma and a move, where possible, away from a history of what Europeans were doing in Fiji, to a history of all the peoples of Fiji. Part 2: Geography of Fiji has been extensively reshaped and extended to cover specific topics in the Fiji School Leaving Certificate.

Volume 34 of Geographers: Biobibliographical Studies features eight essays that together demonstrate geographers' diverse scholarly engagement with the practise of their subject. There are two physical geographers (a Frenchman and an Englishman, both geomorphologists), a British historical geographer, a French colonial geographer, a Russian explorer-naturalist of Central Asia and Tibet, a British-born but long-time Australian resident and scholar of India, Pakistan, and the Pacific world, an American regionalist and eugenicist, and a Scots-born long-time American resident, one of the world's leading Marxist geographers and urban theorists. Equally but differently committed to geography's many specialisms, these subjects wonderfully illuminate the vibrancy – and the contradictions – behind the living of geographical lives.

Fiji is a beautiful archipelago located in the heart of the South Pacific, comprised of more than 330 islands, which 110 of them are inhabited, with Viti Levu and Vanua Levu being the largest. Fiji is known for its warm and friendly people, white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and coral reefs. It is a popular travel destination and is famous for its resorts that provide a luxurious and relaxing environment for tourists to enjoy. The Fiji Islands native population is made up of the Fijian people who are of Melanesian and Polynesian descent, and Indians who were brought in as indentured laborers in the 19th century. The country has a rich cultural heritage that is deeply rooted in tradition and customs. Fiji has been influenced by a range of cultures, including Indian, Chinese, and Western cultures, which have contributed to its vibrant and diverse society. The official languages of Fiji are Fijian, English and Hindi, reflecting the diverse linguistic and cultural landscape of the archipelago.

Never before has such a systematic account of the island groups been compiled. In this volume, Patrick Nunn outlines how each of the main island groups originated then gives detailed accounts - much from his own research -- - of islands in Fiji, Samoa and Tonga. A final substantive chapter treats the interaction of early human settlers of Pacific Islands and their environments."--Back cover

Peter Haggett's research over the last thirty years has focused on mapping and modelling the paths by which epidemics spread through human communities. This led to his 1998 inaugural lectures for a new series, the Clarendon Lectures in Geography and Environmental Studies, the result of which is this book. In it, Haggett presents an accessible, concise, and well illustrated account of how environmental and geographical concepts can be used to enhance our knowledge of the origins and progress of epidemics, and sometimes to slow or even halt their spread.
