"The main purpose of this book is to elucidate the motivation and significance of the changes in physical geometry brought about by Einstein, in both the first an…d the second phase of Relativity. However, since the geometry is, in either phase, inseparable from the physics, what the book in fact has to offer is a "historico-critical" exposition of the elements of the Special and the General Theory of Relativity."

This book begins with a comprehensive description of the Oceanic Pacific, its lands and people, before the arrival of foreign scientific and exploratory expeditions which were inevitably to inflict lasting changes on the island paradises, those lands of the 'Good and Noble Savage'. Commencing with Byron in 1764, Spate retraces the British, French and Spanish voyages of discovery in the Pacific, all of which were overshadowed by the three epic journeys of Captain James Cook. The relative significance of scientific and imperialistic motives behind these voyages is discussed and there are two long chapters on relations between indigenes and intruders and on the images of the Tahitian Venus and the Noble Savage in an era when the South Seas made an important input into European thinking about humankind, and especially the rise of romanticism. By 1846 the Pacific rim, except for southernmost Chile, is occupied by Asian, Russian, British, American and Spanish-American interest, and the Islands of the Pacific are about to 'become the small change of Euroamerican empires'. Paradise had been found and lost.
