Examples of environmental transformation, the creation of sustainable lifeways, and the development of environmentally aware political forms better our understanding of how peoples build on tradition and environmental circumstance to form novel institutions. Using archaeological data, oral histories, genealogies, radiocarbon dating, and Bayesian modeling, we present a timeline of habitation and land-use patterns on Manihiki and Rakahanga, two remote atolls in East Polynesia. We track socioecological change on the atolls from the time of first colonization ca. AD 1200–1400 through to sustained European contact in the mid-1800s. The findings document and temporally anchor collective action-based processes of landscape transformation, the development of a system of cyclical mass migration aimed at sustainable resource use, and the implementation of a novel dual-chiefdom political system. This demonstrates that new levels of political "complexity" manifest as patterns of shifting hierarchy and novel forms of political and ecological management, and can arise in relation to specific social and ecological challenges in systems of any size. The perpetuation and adaptation of aspects of these traditional institutions can help to maintain the sustainability of populations today in the face of climatic and social change.

Reconsiders & contests historical & political interpretations of the British New Left by Lin Chun in The British New Left & Michael Kenny in The First New Left: British Intellectuals After Stalin. Argues that problems in both books are semantic -- "Left" as a monolithic political term should not be applied to a coalition of diverse philosophical & religious people interested in a non-aligned European movement -- and historical -- indeed, Kenny's work is described as largely ahistorical or antihistorical for its lack of proper contextualization & the misreadings of personalities described in his text -- in character. Both inaccuracies & inadequacies are treated in separate sections by drawing on personal experience & rereading from important journals such as The New Reasoner & describing the relationship between the New Left, the Communist Party, & the Institute for Worker's Control (CND). The importance of the Left Clubs & journals to the development of the non-aligned Left movement since the 1950s is also addressed. More needs to be done, it is suggested, to adequately reevaluate the development & success of this movement since its new left beginnings. R. Rodriguez
