GROVER, J. C.
Some Geographical Aspects of the British Solomon Islands in the Western Pacific.
20 pages with several in-text sketch maps and diagrams, plus a fold-out sketch map and a few photographic plates. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. The author provides a detailed geological profile of the Solomons, from the Santa Cruz Group, Rennell, Bellona, the Shortlands, the Central islands, Western San Cristoval, and including also outlying coral islands. Featuring also Gaudalcanal and the Savo Volcano. Scientific observations were gained during his six years of prolific work. He remarks that Choiseul and the New Georgia Group were still 'largely unexplored', and expected to remain as such for another two years. John Grover was born in Sydney, Australia in 1920. He served in the Middle East and New Guinea during World War II with the Royal Australian Engineers of the AIF. He then followed a distinguished career in the earth sciences and mining industry in the South West Pacific, Australia and Africa. He received a Royal Society and Nuffield Grant in 1967 and managed the major U.N. Development Project in Ethiopia in 1975-77. His two books "The Struggle For Power" and "The Struggle For Cargo" are widely regarded as classics in the anti-uranium/nuclear and anti-mining movements. An Ambitious Undertaking for a Thorough Scientific Survey of the Solomon Islands.
