I would like to corredct a mistake:
SOFER F., 1982 Yaqona and peripheral economy, Pacific Viewpoint, 26: 415-436.
Should be: M. Sofer 1985 Yaqona and peripheral economy, Pacific Viewpoint, 26: 415-436.
Thank you! If you wrote more on kava, please let me know, in a way longer available to up-to-date bibliographic this list. Indeed I do not have your article, and I should be grateful to receive it. One more think: if you like, I'll be happy to give space to the full-text of your article (in pdf), and not only the bibliographic item.
