This particular book is THE biggest piece of RUBBISH imaginable!!!!!!!! It is innacurate and it's "great theories" are positively ridiculous.
The grammar bad and inconsistent--the editor seems to think that a plural word requires an 's and etc. etc.--and there are "typos" galore....
The content is a mish-mash collage of bits and pieces culled from an uncritically selected conglomeration of published materials with little or no obvious understanding by the author of what the original works whose ideas he raided were about...
It's difficult to decide whether the absolute WORST bit is, possibly, the notion that what is now the "town" of Mu'a, in Tonga, (but which was once the twinned hamlet-like "estates" of Lapaha, the chief residence of the Tu'i Tonga and of Tatakamotonga, the residence of the "Hau") was ever a "city" or that there was ever a "Polynesian Empire" centred from it and from whence two-way voyaging came and went to Egypt and Peru trading gold and precious commodities.....ARRGHHHHHHHH!!!
