1970334 pages including index. "The thrust of this challenging book is that America is the first society to move beyond the industrial age into the new "technetronic" era, and that this transition affects directly both our international and our domestic problems. Part 1 describes the impact of the scientific revolution on world affairs in general and on the Third World in particular, and exposes the ambiguous position of its principal disseminators, the US. Part 2 examines how this has effected the content, style, and format of man's political outlook on his global reality. Part 3 assesses the contemporary relevance of communism to the problems of modernity. Part 4 focuses upon the US, a society that is both a social pioneer and a guinea pig for mankind, and examines the crisis of American institutions and values during the current transition - as well as the challenge posed by the New Left. Part 5 outlines in broad terms the general direction the US might take in order to make an effective response to its foreign and domestic dilemmas." - from dust jacket (not included). "This is one of the most original books on political and social thought to appear in recent years. The author projects the impact of technology and electronics on the political and social values of the United States, the Soviet Union and other 'post-industrial' states. As a study of global society in transition, this seminal work is bound to elicit major controversy and will be difficult to ignore." - Foreign Affairs.

1940Best.-Nr. 230081940. Photographs of Indigenous communities in New Guinea during World War II document direct encounters between local populations and United States military personnel as Allied forces established operational infrastructure across the island beginning in 1942. Taken in the early to mid 1940s these images record the presence of Indigenous men women and children alongside uniformed servicemen situating them within a major Pacific theater of war where military expansion reshaped local environments and social conditions. The archive supports research into Indigenous history wartime contact zones and the impact of global conflict on colonial territories. Archive consists of 26 original black and white photographic prints likely silver gelatin depicting group portraits staged encounters and environmental views in New Guinea. Multiple images show Indigenous individuals arranged in lines or clusters often positioned with U.S. servicemen standing behind or among them indicating organized or facilitated photographic documentation. Dress and adornment vary with women wearing traditional skirts and beadwork and men and children appearing in customary attire. Several photographs include visible military infrastructure including aircraft fuselages transport planes and trucks suggesting proximity to airstrips supply depots or forward bases. A group of images captures a ceremonial dance or ritual with participants wearing elaborate headdresses and woven garments photographed in mid action. These photographs were produced during a period when New Guinea became a strategic center of Allied military operations in the Pacific bringing new systems of transportation labor demands and administrative control into Indigenous regions. Wartime conditions altered patterns of daily life through the introduction of foreign personnel the construction of military facilities and the expansion of colonial oversight. Visual documentation of these encounters reflects both the logistical realities of military presence and the asymmetrical relationships between Indigenous communities and external authority. Minor handling wear and edge wear with occasional fading; overall very good condition. This archive provides primary visual documentation of wartime contact between Indigenous populations and Allied forces in New Guinea during World War II. unknown

1936Best.-Nr. 230101936. Neuendettelsau Mission publisher. Bilder aus der Neuguinea Mission late 1920s-mid 1930s documents German Protestant missionary activity and Indigenous life in New Guinea during the interwar period following the end of formal German colonial rule. Produced as a cigarette card album with printed German captions the work records village life subsistence practices missionary institutions and ceremonial activity situating Indigenous communities within a visual framework shaped by religious and colonial perspectives. The album supports research into Pacific history missionary networks and the role of photography in documenting and interpreting Indigenous societies under colonial influence. Oblong album containing a substantial series of mounted photographic cigarette cards on captioned leaves with printed German text throughout. The cover title reads "Bilder aus der Neuguinea-Mission" and includes a commemorative image captioned "Gedenkt des 50 jährigen Jubiläums der Neuendettelsauer Mission auf Neuguinea!" depicting three Indigenous men in traditional dress with spears. The album includes numerous images of daily life in coastal New Guinea including fishing hunting boat building village environments and ceremonial gatherings with captions such as "Mit Pfeil und Bogen" and "Mit dem Jagenetz" describing subsistence practices. Additional images depict mission infrastructure including churches schools workshops and settlements alongside scenes of education labor and communal activity. Photographs are systematically arranged and mounted presenting both ethnographic subjects and missionary-built environments within a unified visual sequence. The album was produced during a transitional period when German missionary societies continued operations in New Guinea under Australian administration after World War I maintaining institutional presence despite the loss of formal colonial control. The Neuendettelsau Mission founded in Bavaria in the nineteenth century had established networks of religious and educational institutions in the region contributing to broader systems of cultural transformation and documentation. The images reflect both local practices and the interpretive framework imposed by missionary observers revealing how photography functioned within colonial and religious contexts to classify record and disseminate knowledge about Indigenous populations. Mild toning foxing and edge wear to covers and pages; cards remain securely mounted with images largely clean and crisp; overall very good condition. This album provides sustained visual documentation of missionary activity and Indigenous life in New Guinea during the interwar period. unknown
