The Austronesian-speaking population of the world are estimated to number more than 270 million people, living in a broad swathe around half the globe, from Madagascar to Easter Island and from Taiwan to New Zealand. The seventeen papers in this volume provide a general survey of these diverse populations focusing on their common origins and historical transformations. The papers examine current ideas on the linguistics, prehistory, anthropology and recorded history of the Austronesians. This volume is a publication of the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies' Comparative Austronesian Project.

A collection of papers deliver at a conference of specialists so, not surprisingly, they too are rather specialized themselves. As such, to this non-specialist at least, they often proved to be somewhere between hard going and confusing. It is also who would benefit from reading this, people in the field have probably already read more recent studies and those with no background may well end up little the wiser.
