An unexpectedly interesting anthropological compendium of Micronesian beliefs and customs showing responses to similar themes and events (birth, death, making a canoe, etc.) across islands. I enjoyed being able to compare practices and learn more about geographical/linguistic similarities that show how culture spreads. Written by community college students.
