Sobre este artículo

Kempt Head Point, Nova Scotia: Gerry Skuurkamp, 1995. Folio (315 x 235 mm), xiii + 320 pp, illustrated throughout with full-colour photographs, bibliography, index, end-paper maps. Decorative boards in dust-wrapper. Hand-written post production correction/comment follows the index, signed and dated 7-12-1994. From the rear cover, 'In 1968 the Mountain Ok people of the Papua New Guinea Star Mounts, more commonly referred to as Min, experienced their first exposure to the modern world and the developmental potential it was about to unleash. A major gold and copper deposit was discovered on one of their most sacred geographic landmarks, Mount Fubilan. The younger Min saw this as their opportunity to catch up with the 20th century. Traditional cultures are vulnerable to global influences and change, but the Min have managed to keep their traditions alive and have adapted well to a harsh environment. Their culture and heritage is special and they take great pride in it. This book captures images of a living past, as portrayed in the present for the future, after a decade of rapid development and a changing social structure.' Note: the book weighs 1.9 kilos.. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Illus. by Traditional Artwork by Kelly Lomon. Folio.

Sobre Lawrence Jones

I carry a general stock of approx 70000 titles of which only a small percentage is online. Viewing at my Ashmore bookrooms is welcome by appointment. While not specializing I have a good selection of art, natural history, military and surfing in stock. I also have many other non-fiction subjects, as well as approx 10000 paperback fiction titles on hand.
