Do those schoolbooks count also Palau, Solomon Islands and other Pacific islands to Asia? Is Australia a continent of its own, or is the continent called Australasia? I think you should write to the publisher, because they should use or at least mention the most commonly used division, which is to have Asia and the Pacific/Oceania separately.

But it might be only radiowise, because, for example, the (Finnish) geography books belonging to my 10-, 14- and 16-yr sons do not recognize Oceania. To my children, PNG is in (Pacific) Asia. We collide with terms every day. Some terms meaning this in one occasion are that in another. I tend to think as a radio enthusiastic, so PNG is a part of Oceania to me. 73 de Matti Ponkamo, Naantali, Finland (KP10AK18) > Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2006 > From: "bjorn fransson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [HCDX] PNG > > New Guinea is Papua New Guinea (PNG) and is not Asia either - it is > Oceania > (Pacific) in my geography book. > 73 from Björn ---[Start Commercial]--------------------- Preorder your WRTH 2007: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2007 ---[End Commercial]----------------------- ________________________________________ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
