Paperback, good plus condition, drawings, front cover creased, pages faintly toned, minor edgewear. 104 + 28 pp. The second of a set of four books (stories for young adults), about the amazing journey of a young Chinese-Aboriginal girl, who lives on a Christian mission in 1864. Poppy sets out to chase her brother after he escapes from the mission in search of freedom and a better life. She is taken in by a caring homestead family, after a terrible accident leaves her injured. The family's Aboriginal stockman, Tommy, awakens Poppy's Aboriginal roots and teaches her about their culture., Puffin / Penguin Books, 2011, 0, Chicago, IL, U.S.A.: University of Chicago Press, 1995 Book. As New. Soft cover. 1st Edition. 9 1/2 h x 6 1/4w. A real nice clean unmarked 238 page first edition softcover with "1" present in number line. Has a black & white picture section in center. In this study of the Biase, a small ethnic group living in Nigeria's Cross River State, David Uru Iyam attempts to resolve a long-standing controversy among development theorists: must Third World peoples adopt Western attitudes, practices, and technologies to improve their standard of living or are indigenous beliefs, technologies, and strategies better suited to local conditions?., University of Chicago Press, 1995, 5, London: Pan, 2003 0330488651. Soft cover. First edition. First printing. Complete numberline. Fine except for crease to rear cover. No inscriptions or annotations. 524 pages including index. Winner of the Wolfson History Prize 2002. For the last fifty years, the German Occupation of France has been regarded as a period characterised by four things: cold, hunger, the absence of freedom and above all fear; a time when the indigenous population was cruelly and consistently oppressed by the army of occupation. The people of France were either bold members of the Resistance or craven collaborators. In this riveting and provocative study, Robert Gildea reveals a rather different story, a story which shows that the truth lies - as so often - somewhere in between.`Excellent... a peculiarly rich book, enlightening about conscription, forced labour, the role of the Catholic Church, sex between German soldiers and French women (`horizontal collaboration`) and much else.` Frank McLynn, New Statesman. `Gildea`s revisionist account is the most convincing and lucid that I have read. Rather as his Oxford colleague Roy Foster did for Irish history (when he rubbished the "400 years of national suffering" version that has had such disastrous consequences), Gildea has succeeded in giving us a startlingly original view of what we thought was a familiar period.` Patrick Marnham, Sunday Telegraph ., Pan, 0330488651, 2003, 4<
