Book Subtitle	Pacific Worlds From Captain Cook To The Gold Rush
Editorial Review	Among the numerous accomplishments of this impressive book, the most striking may be its achievement of extending history from its usual terrestrial focus to the ocean ... Igler's contribution not only puts the sea at the center, but succeeds in telling a story that illuminates both human history and the history of a part of the ocean, the waterscape between the coastal Americas and islands scattered throughout the Pacific ... Igler's wonderful book will interest social historians, world historians, maritime historians, and others, but among his contributions is the excellent model he provides for ocean history. * Helen M. Rozwadowski, American Historical Review * Here is an admirable example of the new international intercultural maritime history. The research is thorough, the analysis sound ... Highly recommended. * J.C. Perry, CHOICE * [builds] on generations of scholarshipby historians in, and of, the Pacific... [The Great Ocean makes] great strides towards bringing the Americas into Pacific historyand broadening world history to incorporate the Pacific. * David Armitage, The Times Literary Supplement *
