    About the Book

    Edit

    Legacies of war in the cities of Japan and Korea ...
    peaceful primate encounters in Indonesia's forests

    The Pacific, the largest ocean on Earth, was named by Magellan, the first man to be killed after crossing it. The name means peaceful.
    Apart from typhoons, earthquakes, and tsunamis, the lands that rise above the Pacific are peaceful ... except when men create conflict.
    Japan went from a regal empire with a long tradition to the first and only nation defeated by nuclear weapons.
    Korea remains a peninsula split by an unresolved civil war.
    The Philippines continues to struggle to manage its independence.
    Indonesia has governing challenges also, with urban and environmental problems.
    Yet some of these Pacific islands remain home to peaceful, unwarring primates — the orangutans. Though their tropical forests are under attack by human development, will these peaceful creatures survive?
