As an Anthropologist who has had discussions with guests since 2004 on almost 50 cruises (https://curbanowicz.yourweb.csuchico.edu/VariousCruiseMaps.html), providing information about Peoples and Cultures of the Pacific, World War II, Gauguin and his times, as well as Charles Darwin, I occasionally receive requests for information to augment a reading list distributed for a cruise. This is the current "Darwin Bookshelf" for interested individuals. For a similar page, dealing with "People and Exploration" and "World War II" as well as "Gauguin and his times" please see: https://curbanowicz.yourweb.csuchico.edu/June2024.html.
