BOOK NEWS AND REVIEWS
The Association has
published in its Una Voce Quarterly Journal news and reviews of
recently published books on Papua New Guinea. Many of the books
reviewed (both fact and fiction) have been authored by members
of the Association, and are drawn from personal experiences
and/or research. Reviews of these books are generally
undertaken by Association Members who have a particular
knowledge or experience of the subject matter or are otherwise
qualified by virtue of their long association with Papua New
Guinea or particular expertise. The views and opinions
expressed by the Reviewer are entirely independent of those held
by any member of the committee of PNGAA, including the Editor of
Una Voce, the Association's Journal.
