Her research has brought recognition to metei and closure to the people of Rapa Nui and her book serves as a foundation for future scholarship. As a historian of science and now a medical student, I could not put it down!"

The Ormsby Review, "In her ambitious non-fiction exploration of the 1964-65 Canadian-led expedition to Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, Jacalyn Duffin makes it clear there will be no detail left unexplored, no missing bibliographic data, and certainly nothing resembling a composite. The result is a capacious book in which an old story is ushered back into the light ... Duffin achieves a fascinating bait and switch in the latter third of Stanley's Dream. A hero emerges." Literary Review of Canada, "Combining the history of science with the political history of the Rapa Nui, Stanley's Dream is a story about the complex and often inexplicable interactions among researchers and their research subjects on a remote colonial island, tracking the passionate love stories and the successful and failed scientific aims of a group of adventurous scientists, social scientists, and the media." Anne Kveim Lie, University of Oslo, "To the primary objective of Stanley's Dream, [intended] as "a stand-in for Skoryna's never-written final report"... the book succeeds exquisitely. It is wonderfully researched, overflowing with resonant details, and beautifully illustrated. While these qualities combine to form a definitive and richly humanizing reference for scholars in diverse fields with interests bearing on the expedition, its aftermath, and related questions - the perfect tribute, surely, for an unlikely and many-sided undertaking of pivotal consequence to the lives of its participants and beyond."
