Pathways to the Present: U.S. Development and Its Consequences in the Pacific

Ranging from the Hawaiian Archipelago to the Aleutian Islands, from Silicon Valley to Guam, this book presents an account of economic and environmental change in the postwar ""American"" Pacific. It also investigates the effort to remake Hiroshima as a high-tech city in the 1990s, an attempt inspired by the perceived success of Silicon Valley.
