One way to understand how a landscape captures memories is to study places where documents
have also preserved them. The author does this to remarkable effect in the island of Rarotonga,
showing how the great roadAra Metua and its monuments and land boundaries were structured

proto-histories of all continents willfnd much inspiration in the pages that follow.
