Following a brief survey of the history of the Pacific, the author takes the Hawaiian Islands as the center of American activities in the region and looks at interactions among native Hawaiian, developmental, military, and environmental issues in the archipelago after World War II. He then turns to land- and water-use problems that have intersected with more nebulous quality-of-life concerns to generate policy controversies in the Seattle region and the San Francisco Bay area, especially Silicon Valley. Economic expansion and environmentalism in Alaska are examined through the lens of changes occurring along the Aleutians. From there the study considers Hiroshima after its destruction by the atomic bomb in 1945, looking at residents? desire to combine urban-planning concepts. The author investigates the effort to remake Hiroshima as a high-tech city in the 1990's, an attempt inspired by the perceived success of Silicon Valley, and postwar planning on Okinawa, where American influences were particularly strong. The final chapter takes into account issues raised on Guam regarding the growth of tourism and the use of the island for military purposes and links these to developments in the Philippines to the west and American Sāmoa to the south. 606 $aHistory / United States$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory 607 $aUnited States$xRelations$zIslands of the Pacific 607 $aIslands of the Pacific$xRelations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xInsular possessions$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xTerritories and possessions$xHistory 607 $aAleutian Islands (Alaska)$xHistory 607 $aIslands of the Pacific$xHistory 607 $aIslands of the Pacific$xEconomic conditions 607 $aPacific States$xHistory 607 $aPacific States$xEconomic conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aHistory 610 $aAlaska 610 $aGuam 610 $aHiroshima 610 $aKahoolawe 610 $aNative Hawaiians 610 $aSeattle 610 $aUnited States 615 7$aHistory / United States 615 0$aHistory 676 $a338.995 700 $aBlackford$b Mansel G.$f1944-$0916017 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910265239803321 996 $aPathways to the Present$92427858 997 $aUNINA
