Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 67 pp. This book supplements Sir Paulias Matane's earlier book, Management Problems in PNG. Sir Paulias, who has a great concern for improving the quality of life in Papua New Guinea, observes that the basic attributes of an effective manager include the clarity in his instructions to his associates, the trait of being pleasant but commanding, a sense of urgency about getting things done, a desire to find a better way of doing things, the spark of courage to take action where others hesitate, getting along well with people, appreciating people for their good work, the knack of taking sound decisions, backing people, motivation, allegiance to the organization, penchant for learning, improving people's attitudes through counseling, and keeping one alive to the happenings all around -- these are some of the attributes of a good manager which Sir Paulias has elaborated in this book. Written in a very simple and lucid language, this book should prove useful for managers, executives, entrepreneurs and teachers. Students of management, who are prospective managers, will certainly get an insight into a wide array of management techniques and thus can equip themselves for managerial positions. 0.0.…

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 318 p. Ripples in the South Pacific is a historical novel portraying the development in the village life and culture of Papua New Guinea, a beautiful island in the South Pacific Ocean. It is an eloquent portrait of Aimbe, who, by his attributes of courage and compassion, becomes a leader of his community after his father's death. He was forced to work on a white-owned plantation but with his genius of quick learning not only earns the respect of his colonial masters but also becomes instrumental in the kaleidoscopic metamorphosis in the village of his nation. Although bewildered by a hiatus between the high Christian ideals preached and the low-moral standard lived by European colonizers, Aimbe becomes a brilliant student of theology and a devoted pastor. While he ceaselessly works to promote Christianity among his countrymen, he becomes a strong advocate of the culture and traditions of his own country. Spanning a period of ninety years, the novelist describes, in vivid details, Aimbe's pastoral adventures, his bravery during the Second World War, and his devotion to his people under the renewed colonial exploitation. The novel is interspersed with romantic tales, and reflects the novelist's dexterity in bringing together various strands of the story to examine problems posed in the village life by the alien and materialistic way of life. Thus, it bring to focus the real life as lived in the early twentieth century in the countryside. …
