The Island of Stone Money: Uap of the Carolines is a book written by William Henry Furness and published in 1910. The book is a detailed account of Furness' travels to the island of Uap in the Caroline Islands, where he studied the culture and economics of the islanders. The island is known for its unique form of currency, which consists of large stone disks that are used in transactions. Furness provides a fascinating insight into the island's history, customs, and beliefs, and explores the impact of colonialism on the island's economy and society. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in anthropology, economics, or the history of the Pacific Islands. It is written in a clear and engaging style, and is accompanied by numerous photographs and illustrations that bring the island and its people to life. Overall, The Island of Stone Money is an important and insightful work that sheds light on a little-known corner of the world and its fascinating culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
