Six More "Peoples Of Pacific"

Six more booklets just published in Longmans Green’s “People of the Pacific” series brings the series to 12, with more booklets in preparation.

The first six in the series were published in 1964.

ALL have been edited by Ernest Schubert, a former education officer on Pitcairn, who now is in New Guinea, and the art work has been done by Rod Fowler. The basic texts and much of the illustrative material in each of the booklets have been supplied by local experts in the field —patrol officers, schoolteachers, missionaries.

The books have 16 pages, and the texts are clear, simple, and well suited to primary schoolchildren.

There are plenty of illustrations in colour, with helpful locality maps.

The first 10 of the 12 titles so far issued deal with the New Guinea people. No. 11 deals with the Samoans and No. 12 the New Zea land Maoris. Of the first 10, No. 1 is The Trobriand Islanders, 2. The Motuans, 3. The Tolai, 4. The Sepik River People, 5. The Gogodala Swamp People (near the Fly River), 6. The Chimbus, 7. The Mekeos, 8.

The Karkar Islanders, 9. The Abelam people (near Wewak), and 10. The Bukas. —SI.
