About this title

Synopsis:

The authors report on their use of computer techniques to answer questions surrounding the controversy about how the islands of Polynesia were discovered and settled, a subject on which much writing and research have been focused. In their research the authors devised a computer program which simulated many aspects and variations of Pacific voyaging. They describe the experiments and discuss the conclusions.
