About the Author:

Review:
This is a well-illustrated and -written volume. Its appeal should include archaeologists who work in the Pacific or with statuary worldwide.' (Michael W. Graves Journal of Anthropological Research, 2007)
“This book is an aesthetically pleasing account that provides significant insights into the Rapa Nui social and ideological structure, and how art objects like Hoa Hakananai’a symbolised this complex ideological system.” (Mara Mulrooney The Journal of the Polynesian Society, 2007)
