Equatorial Rain Forest: A Geological History

The Enigmas of Easter Island by Bahn Paul Flenley John (2003-05-29) Hardcover

The Enigmas of Easter Island
(Easter Island, an unimaginably remote volcanic island in ...)
Easter Island, an unimaginably remote volcanic island in the Pacific Ocean, produced one of the most fascinating and yet least understood prehistoric cultures, a people who vanished but left behind the giant statues known around the world. Who were these people and where did they come from? Why, and equally intriguingly, how did they erect the giant stone statues found all over the island? Paul Bahn and John Flenley tackle these and a host of other questions, introducing us, along the way, to the bizarre birdman cult found in the island's art, and the only recently deciphered Rongorongo script engraved on wooden panels. The Enigmas of Easter Island combines a wealth of new archaeological evidence, intriguing folk memories and the records of Captain Cook and other early explorers, to reveal how the island's decline may stem from ecological catastrophe. The result is a fascinating portrait of a civilization that still retains many of its mysteries. This book provides a wealth of new material, including much information only recently discovered and not available in any other book for general readers. One of the most mysterious places on the planet, Easter Island has been an object of intense fascination since rediscovered by European explorers. Attractively illustrated with numerous photographs throughout the book, The Enigmas of Easter Island is the finest volume ever written on this inscrutable and tantalizing isle, the latest word on one of the world's great conundrums.

(Easter Island is presented in this book through its histo...)
Easter Island is presented in this book through its history, legends and culture, the latest archaeological discoveries, and investigations of its ecology and environment. Where did the islanders come from, the different phases of their development, and finally how the uncontrolled overexploitation of resource sled them into decline. Paul Bahn and John Flenley, two of the most respected researchers in Rapa Nui studies, present the important message that the island teaches us, uncovering the worrying parallels between its history and our present-day negligent lack of consideration for the fragile natural environment. In short, they show us that Rapa Nui is a reflection of the planet Earth.
