Tonga

This comprehensive bibliography is a selective guide to the most significant and accessible English-language books, papers, and articles on every aspect of the kingdom's history, culture, arts, politics, environment, and economy. It is a much updated and expanded edition of the original version, published in 1999 as part of the ""World Bibliographical"" series, with the addition of more than 200 new entries. Each of the approximately 600 items is described and annotated, organized under broad subject headings, and indexed by author, title, and subject. In addition, new to this edition, all known Ph.D. theses, although not annotated, are shown within their appropriate subject categories and indexed. Also new is a section on the most important Tonga-related websites. A general introduction describes the Tongan kingdom, its history and society, and its current situation. ""Tonga: A New Bibliography"" will be an invaluable resource for anyone with a serious interest in Tonga and an indispensable volume for academic libraries, reference collections, and policy makers focused on the Pacific islands.
