Excerpt: ...of mourning is at an end, and the sorrowing relatives return to their normal mode of life. Nowadays the Government, on sanitary grounds, forbids the burial of bodies within the village enclosure, requiring them to be interred in cemeteries just outside the village; and it has placed other restrictions upon the practice of the chief mourners sleeping by the grave. The latter, at all events, of these injunctions, is not, I think, entirely obeyed; indeed my first experience of the fear caused by their belief that I was a Government official arose from infringement of a burial regulation. The religious views of the Mekeo people differ considerably from those of the Solomon Islanders. In the first place, though they may have had an origin in some idea analogous to that of mana, it cannot be said of them that this is now their fundamental basis, or indeed that the idea of mana, as understood in the Solomons, forms part of them. Another difference is that, whilst in the Solomons the people fear, and endeavour to propitiate, individual ghosts, in Mekeo this is not so, their fears relating rather to ghosts generally. This second element of difference may, perhaps, be in some way connected with the first one, at all events so far as the ghosts are concerned, for the special fear of, and desire to please or secure the help of, an individual ghost in the Solomon Islands is based on the belief that this particular ghost is largely endowed with mana; and where, as in Mekeo, the ghosts are only regarded as a general body, the question of the amount of mana possessed by any one ghost does not arise. 158 SORCERERS I think I shall be substantially correct if I say that the religion of the Mekeo people is a belief in certain individual mythical beings, in...

Download or read book South Pacific Destroyer written by Estate of R S Crenshaw and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today only a select few know firsthand what it is like to feel their ship shudder from the blast of their own guns, watch enemy guns flash back, and see friendly ships erupt in flames. Russell Crenshaw is one of those few. His riveting account of the savage night battle for the Solomon Islands in early 1943 offers readers a unique insider’s perspective from the decks of one of the destroyers that bore the brunt of the struggle. Russell Crenshaw was a gunnery officer on the USS Maury. His vivid, balanced, and detailed narrative includes the Battle of Tassafarounga in November 1942 and Vella Gulf in August 1943, actions that earned his warship a Presidential Unit Citation and sixteen battle stars. Crenshaw also discusses the impact of radar and voice radio, the shortcomings of U.S. torpedoes and gunfire, and the devastating effectiveness of Japan’s super torpedo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Du site de l'éd.: "The history of the Solomon Islands is in itself an intriguing story, and Dr. Bennett tells it more than well. The depth and breadth of the work is impressive in at least two respects. First, it covers events in the Solomons from initial European contact in the middle-1500s to the country's emergence as an independent and sovereign state in 1978. Second, all facets of colonial history are covered; to name only a few: the early contact period, the whaling trade, the development of plantations, the nature of British colonial rule, and missionization. Considering the scope of this volume, it represents a definitive history of the Solomon Islands, and it will remain so for many years to come."

Download or read book Pacific Forest written by Judith A. Bennett and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2000 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Pacific Forest" explores the use of the forest of the Solomon Islands from the pre-historic period up to the end of 1997, when much of the indigenous commercial forest had been logged. It is the first study of the history of the forest in any Pacific Island; the first analysis of the indigenous and British colonial perceptions of the Melanesian forest; and the first critical analysis for this region, not only of colonial forest policies but of later policies and practices which made the governments of independence exploiters of their own people. "Pacific Forest" addresses a range of evidence drawn from several disciplines, and is a major contribution to environmental history.
