The quest for origins : who first discovered and settled New Zealand and the Pacific islands? / K.R. Howe.
In this provocative and fascinating book 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.
