South Seas Encounters examines several key types of encounters between the many-faceted worlds of Oceania, Britain and the United States in the formative nineteenth century. The eleven essays collected in this volume focus not only on the effect of the two powerful, industrialized colonial powers on the cultures of the Pacific, but the effect of those cultures on the Western cultural perceptions of themselves and the wider world, including understanding encounters and exchanges in ways which do not underemphasize the agency and consequences for all participating parties. The essays also provide insights into the causes, unfolding, and consequences for both sides of a series of significant ethnographic, political, cultural, scientific, educational, and social encounters.

This volume makes a significant contribution to increasing scholarly interest in Oceania’s place in British and American nineteenth-century cultural experiences. South Seas Encounters investigates these significant interactions and how they changed the ways that Oceanic, British, and American cultures reflected on themselves and their place in the wider world.

An ideal introduction to PCI DSS v4.0.1

Organisations that accept payment cards are prey for criminal hackers trying to steal financial information and commit identity fraud. Many attacks are highly automated, using increasingly sophisticated tools and techniques to search for website and payment card system vulnerabilities remotely. When a vulnerability is discovered, an attack can start – with the management and staff of the target organisation unaware of what is going on.

The PCI DSS exists to ensure that organisations process credit and debit card payments in a way that effectively protects cardholder data.
