Product Information
The Great Ocean examines the convergence and fragmentation of Pacific worlds during a period of rapidly expanding trade, indigenous depopulation, and scientific investigations. With a particular focus on the eastern Pacific in the decades between the 1770s and the 1840s, this study uncovers world history in the coastal localities where voyagers, traders, hunters, and native peoples met one another through episodes often marked by violence and tragic outcomes. Igler reveals a vast oceanic and coastal geography that gradually became entangled with global circuits. Rather than a single ocean world, this study demonstrates how the eastern Pacific encompassed a variety of seas and a multiplicity of human communities. At the same time, The Great Ocean situates this story in the personal and intimate interactions of different groups, including indigenous "ocean peoples, " mainland native groups, and a diverse assortment of foreign voyagers.This story poignantly presents the individuals and the themes they embody. The American William Shaler sought wealth through trans-Pacific trade with China. Indigenous communities struggled against introduced diseases that cut through the heart of their communities. The Russian Timofei Tarakanov desired freedom from his ordeal in captivity. Mary Brewster longed for a cargo of whale oil and a safe voyage home. Kadu desired to see more of the ocean, while his European companion Adelbert von Chamisso carefully compiled his notes on natural history. Finally, James Dwight Dana pursued knowledge of the largest scale, including the origins of the earth. Their stories-and the historical themes that tie them together-offers a stunning perspective on the oceanic worlds of the eastern Pacific. Ambitious and broadly conceived, this is the first study of its kind to examine the Pacific Basin through the intersection of American, oceanic, and world history.

Reviews
[builds] on generations of scholarshipby historians in, and of, the Pacific... [The Great Ocean makes] great strides towards bringing the Americas into Pacific historyand broadening world history to incorporate the Pacific., "An admirable example of the new international intercultural maritime history .Igler charts the economic, demographic, and cultural changes that define the period between the 1780s and 1840s as one of transformation." --CHOICE "The Great Ocean transports the reader on the winds of trade or the trade winds to the multiple worlds of commerce and systems of knowledge created by Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, and Europeans. Its scale is grand, embracing waters and lands, humans and animals, and the imperial Pacific while not losing sight of the individuals who negotiated that history-a remarkable achievement." --Gary Okihiro, author of Island Worlds: A History of Hawai'i and the United States "Here is U.S. history, maritime history, Pacific Islands history, world history, environmental history, labor history, social history all in one volume, and all beautifully done. A host of topics--early encounters in the Hawaiian Islands, the economic significance of whaling, the differences and similarities in how various powers established their presences in the Pacific, and more--look different once Igler is done with them. Surprises abound, but so does careful, balanced synthesis. What more could a reader want?" --Kenneth Pomeranz, University of Chicago "David Igler's The Great Ocean is a majestic contribution to the globalizing of American history, and an original, environmentally-informed peregrination around North and South America, Oceania, and Asia. Igler follows traders and merchants, epidemic plagues, the slaughter and near decimation of marine mammals, captives and hostages, and the nineteenth-century articulation of a truly Pacific-based natural history of geology, oceanography, climatology, and American empire. It is an allusive work, engaging, richly detailed, and full of compelling stories that change our understanding of life across generations, in and around the world's greatest ocean." --Matt K. Matsuda, Rutgers University, Winner of the John Lyman Book Award for U.S. Maritime History of the North American Society for Oceanic History "An admirable example of the new international intercultural maritime history .Igler charts the economic, demographic, and cultural changes that define the period between the 1780s and 1840s as one of transformation." --CHOICE "The Great Ocean transports the reader on the winds of trade or the trade winds to the multiple worlds of commerce and systems of knowledge created by Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, and Europeans.

Matsuda, Rutgers University, Winner of the John Lyman Book Award for U.S. Maritime History of the North American Society for Oceanic History "Igler makes good use of published and accessible source materials of the nineteenth century maritime world...as well as the emerging interdisciplinary realm of cultural geography and history. ... The basic theme [of the book]...is an important contribution that is well delivered in a slender, accessible, and attractive book." --Oregon Historical Quarterly "An admirable example of the new international intercultural maritime history .Igler charts the economic, demographic, and cultural changes that define the period between the 1780s and 1840s as one of transformation." --CHOICE "The Great Ocean transports the reader on the winds of trade or the trade winds to the multiple worlds of commerce and systems of knowledge created by Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, and Europeans.
