Shirley found herself one of a group of castaways on a desolate island in mid-Pacific, an island peopled by natives who think the plane is a 'metal bird from out of the sky'. They are afraid because their island is already in the grip of a mysterious and terrifying taboo. The castaways had to use all of their courage to help the hysterical passengers, angry natives, and also to look after their plane that was now on the ground. Shirley played her part, calling up all her resources of cheerfulness, humour and ingenuity, to try and establish friendly relations with the natives. In the end, Shirley confided to Tony that it had been a bit ghastly at times, but also glorious because everyone became so changed, and more human and likeable because of their time spent as Pacific Castaways.

Concludes with a series of thought-provoking yet controversial suggestions for future efforts at controlling terrorist behaviour.

William Bell, the colonial government representative on Malaita, Solomon Islands, was murdered while collecting taxes in October 1927. The party of native police with him were also massacred. Bell was an Australian, a towering figure in the pacification of the wildest island in the Pacific, and his murder by the Kwaio warrior leader Basiana was the end of a confrontation between two strong men and two opposing ways of life. Basiana and his followers feared a pervasive threat to their ancestral way of life, and decided to challenge the power of Empire by killing its most forceful representative. The Kwaio people have never recovered from the subsequent random killing of the 'Malaitamen' by the Australian planters and volunteers requested by the British government, who arrived on the Australian gunboat, H.M.A.S. Adelaide. In this book anthropologist Roger M. Keesing, who has spent 16 years among the Kwaio, and academic historian Peter Corris (who later became a crime fiction writer), reconstruct for the first time from both sides the events leading up to Bell's murder and its aftermath.

104. Mounk, Yascha (2023). The Identity Trap: A Story of Ideas and Power in Our Time (1st U.K, reprint ed). London: Allen Lane / Penguin Books. 401 pp. hardback thick octavo, dustjacket, as new condition (in as new dustjacket), minimal edgewear, barcode sticker inside rear cover. For much of their history, societies have violently oppressed ethnic, religious and sexual minorities. It is no surprise that passionate believers in social justice have come to think that marginalized groups need to take pride in their identity if they are to resist injustice. But recently, a healthy appreciation for the culture and heritage of minorities has transformed into an obsession with group identity imn all its forms, one that has quickly become influential around the world. A new ideology - which Yascha Mounk terms the 'identity synthesis' - seeks to put each citizen's matrix of identities at the heart of social, cultural and political life. This, he argues, is the Identity Trap. He traces the intellectual origins, consequences and limitations of these ideas, explaining how they have have won tremendous power, and why their application to education and public policy is proving to be deeply counterproductive. A passionate plea for universalism and humanism, he argues that the proponents of identitarian ideas will, though full of good intentions, make it harder to achieve progress towards genuine equality. The author studies populism and is a professor of international relations at Johns Hopkins University. ISBN/ASIN: 9780241638293. Our Book No: 18398. $35 AUD.

Heavy, and extra postage may be requested to destinations outside Australia. American psychologist Nicholas P. Spanos wrote this book just before his death. He is a leading expert in the study of the sociocognitive origin of hypnosis. He delivers a rebuttal to long-held assumptions about multiple personality disorder or MPD (now classified in the DSM-IV as dissociative identity disorder or DID). He writes in the forceful, unapologetic style that was a Spanos trademark, and bolstered by a thorough examination of the relevant science. He argues that MPD is not a legitimate psychiatric disorder but a cultural construct, one with roots in earlier beliefs about demonic possession and upheld today by misguided psychotherapists and their patients. This book is a vivid, scholarly statement on a subject that interests psychology professionals, sociologists, cultural critics and lay readers. ISBN/ASIN: 9781557988935. Our Book No: 41569. $40 AUD.

In the decades since the Chinese occupation of Tibet, Tibetans have seen their ecosystem destroyed, their religion, language and culture repressed, and systematic oppression against anyone who dares acknowledge Tibetan sovereignty. Yet, the Dalai Lama has been a consistent voice for peace, sharing a middle-way approach that has gathered accolades from the Nobel Peace Prize to the US Congressional Gold Medal.
