Perspectives on the Bird's Head of Irian Jaya, Indonesia
The Bird's Head Peninsula of Irian Jaya has long been an area neglected by New Guinea Studies. Only in the late seventies, interest began to focus more intensively on this scientifically important border area between Austronesian and Papuan languages and cultures. In the early nineties, this led to the creation in The Netherlands of the Irian Jaya Studies programme ISIR, which organizes and coordinates multi-disciplinary research on the Bird's Head Peninsula. Within this framework, study of the peninsula has reached a peak, with research being conducted in the area by scientists from different disciplines: anthropology, archaeology, (ethno)botany, demography, development administration, geol...

Batavia-Jakarta, 1600-2000
This is an odd book. An extensive and sometimes annotated bibliography, it is not a book in the sense of a narrative. However, if treated as a book in the traditional sense it leads the reader through a broad spectrum of feelings of amazement, curiosity and desire: amazement about the sheer volume, richness and detail of theliterature on Batavia/Jakarta; curiosity about the contents of certain publications or series of publications with attractive titles; and a feeling of desire immediately to begin an investigation into one of the appealing subjects stumbled upon while leafing through. The bibliography contains over 5000 titles classified into 42 broad subject categories. The vast majority of the publications consists of books, but the number of articles is also very substantial. Most of these titles (3500) were produced after 1950. The larger part of the publications are written in Indonesian, Dutch, and to a lesser extent English. But also publications in such languages as French, Chinese, German, Japanese, Russian, and many others were listed. Indexes of authors, of subjects and of titles make this bibliography easily accessible.

People and Things
This book is a collection of eleven essays, each of which analyzes one or more forms of gift-giving, exchange, or ritual use of objects in societies of Polynesia, Melanesia, and Australia. As considered in these essays, objects used in exchange relationships have the capacity to mediate individual relationships and relationships among groups as well as relationships between men and spirits. By "objects" authors Jeudy-Ballini and Juillerat mean both the utilitarian and the religious, including shell currency, animals, plants, sacred drinks, even enemy heads or imaginary goods. These objects may serve as compensation for services rendered or for women received in marriage; indeed, the object o...
