En savoir plus sur le livre
The modern nation of Papua New Guinea, granted independence in 1975, presents a very different picture from the cliches of dense unexplored jungles and malaria-ridden swamps often associated with the country.This book covers every aspect of the land, its natural environment, people, economy, history and recent political development. The text is shaped by the author's awareness of one of the central problems of this new the reconciliation of the dual pressures of old and new, traditional and modern.The contrast of old and new is reflected in the superb illustrations, many of which present images of a traditional way of life that is rapidly disappearing.A fine introduction to one of the most exciting and spectacular countries in the world.
