University of Papua New Guinea Press. 2016. Trade paperback. Fine.. 153 p. . In this thoughtful, yet engrossing account, the author recounts his story, while behind the bars, for a military court martial. The Book is about an incident that took place at the Papua New Guinea Defence Force's Northern Command Infantry Unit, based on the northern coastline of the eastern half of the Island of New Guinea. He and his comrades were imprisoned for the involvement in a petition presented to the Military High Command and the Government, on behalf of the grieving soldiers and the families at the Moem Military camp, highlighting administrative and national issues faced by Papua New Guineans. The author was asked to read the petition in front of the National Television-EMTV. A twist of fate branded him as one of the prim movers behind the whole Moem saga. His wife abandoned him with his daughter Shaminah, to whom this book was dedicated, when he was incarcerated in 2002. This is the author's side of the story… Read More

Strategic Information and Research Development Centre. 2007. Trade paperback. Very good. cover is partly-faded. 179 p., bibliography. . Although menstruation is a biological event it has been coated with many layers of cultural values and perceptions. Exploring the cultural embedment of menstruation and its meanings in relation to yet another culturally loaded term "woman", this book explores the effects and implications when the understanding of "menstruation" is challenged. By re-examining the cultural perceptions and stimulating discussions, it is hoped that open and active communication will pave way for the reclamation of women's bodies by women.

Australian National University. 2001. Trade paperback. Fine.. 620 p. Includes: maps, index, bibliography. . This book uses the history of German New Guinea to examine the role of law in colonial government. It argues: that it was crucial; that the 'colonial state', rather than disappearing, has become a global phenomenon; and that the conventional narrative approach to history is incapable of giving a realistic account of the history of colonial rule, offering 'phantom history' instead. What makes the case of German New Guinea particularly interesting is that a structural and quantitative approach can take us only part of the way since its colonial law had to be developed from scratch, so that it could only gradually grow into a bureaucratic form of government which lawyers like to call 'The Rule of Law'. While it is comparatively easy to describe the legal framework within which its government operated, it is impossible to deal with its operation adequately in quantitative terms, because much of the… Read More

University of Papua New Guinea Press. 2013. Trade paperback. New.. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 210 p. Audience: General/trade. . This book penetrates the facade of colonial law to consider European land acquisitions in the context of a complex historical process. Its context is land, but it is fundamentally a legal study of the problems arising out of the dichotomy between traditional New Guinea law and imposed Prussian law. Though these problems arose out of events that took place more than fifty years ago, they are of immediate relevance for New Guinea in the 1970s. They are mostly still unsolved and are only now emerging from under the layers of political compromise that have concealed them. Dr. Sack emphasizes the differences between traditional and introduced law in New Guinea in order to investigate the chances of a synthesis between them. He offers no panacea, but points up clearly the tasks which must be accomplished before the 'land between two laws' can become a truly independent… Read More

University of Papua New Guinea Press. 2013. Trade paperback. New.. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. Contains: Illustrations, black & white. Audience: General/trade. . Disputes regarding ownership of land have occupied much time in the courts of what is now Papua New Guinea. Apart from disputes between person claiming customary ownership, there have been many notable challenges to titles based on transactions which occurred at about the turn of the century when land was ostensibly acquired by government authority either as ownerless land or from the apparent indigenous owners. When such a transaction has been challenged, the courts have faced a formidable task, especially in the area formerly known as New Guinea. From 1886 until 1921 the law of that country, under which many of the disputed acquisitions occurred, was the German law applicable to what was first a Protectorate and later a colony of the Reich. It is easy enough to accept that the efficacy of those transactions must be tested by… Read More
