1974. South Pacific, Geography. Australian National University Press. Very good cloth and good+ dust jacket 220p.

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. 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 state. DJ; Owner's Name inside. DJ worn along edges and spine. 220 pages.

Hardcover. Zustand: gut. 2004. Die Erforschung islamischer Kunst begann in Europa vor über 100 Jahren, dabei leistete Deutschland einen wichtigen Beitrag. In dem reich bebilderten Buch wird erstmals versucht, islamische Kunst in Deutschland in ihrer Vielfalt bekannt zu machen. Präsentiert werden Kunst und Kunsthandwerk aller Gattungen, Kalligraphie, Miniaturmalerei und Münzen unterschiedlichster Epochen und zahlreicher Länder von Spanien bis Indien. Die Publikation gibt zudem einen Überblick über Wissenschaftsinstitutionen, die sich mit islamischer Kunst und Kultur beschäftigen. Einzelne Überblicksartikel informieren über die Wege islamischer Kunst nach Deutschland seit den Kreuzzügen und über die Entwicklung des Forschungsgebietes "Islamische Kunstgeschichte". Das Buch möchte anregen zu "Entdeckungen" islamischer Kunst in Deutschland, denn viele hervorragende, weltbekannte Einzelobjekte befinden sich in wenig bekannten und kaum erschlossenen Sammlungen. Neben den Beständen sind Kontaktpersonen, Adressen und öffnungszeiten verzeichnet.
