In this provocative and fascinating book Professor Kerry Howe traces dozens of explanations and theories of both pre-Maori and pre-European settlement and assesses each one. At the same time he places them in their intellectual, historical and cultural context. The book uses maps and illustrations and scholarly research but is carefully written for a general lay audience and is not an academic book.
