- Map 1. “A heuristic world regionalization scheme.” In contrast to earlier world regions schemes, the map acknowledges the presence of the Pacific, but its orientation obscures an integrated view of the Pacific world. Note the inclusion of “Melanesia,” but also the lumping together of “Micronesia” and “Polynesia” off to the right (with Polynesia placed inaccurately). From Martin W. Lewis and Kären Wigen, The Myth of Continents: A Critique of Metageography (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1997), 187. Reproduced with permission of the University of California Press.
