This particular book is a collaboration focused on New Guinea.More info: New Guinea, the world's second largest island, covering a land area of 786,000 km2, is located in the Southwest Pacific. Geographically it is east of the Malay Archipelago, with which it is sometimes included as part of a greater Indo-Australian Archipelago. Geologically it is equally a part, with Australia, of the continent of Sahul, also known as Greater Australia. The two landmasses became separated when the area now known as the Torres Strait flooded after the last glacial period. Anthropologically it is considered part of Melanesia. Politically, the western half of the island is known as West Papua and comprises two Indonesian provinces. The eastern half forms the mainland of the country of Papua New Guinea. It has a population of about 7.5 million, resulting in a very low population density (8 inh/km2).
