Description:
Honolulu.: University of Hawai'i Press.. 2004.. Map, black and white photographic illustrations, xii + 348pp, notes, bibliography, index, dustjacket trifle shelf worn, a very good hardback copy. "The last decade has seen widespread Islamic religious revitalization in Southeast Asia, a region with a Muslim population almost as large as that of the entire Arabic-speaking Middle East. One such movement in 1990s Indonesia promoted engagement with the Qur'an through memorization, reading, skilled performance, and popular competitions in recitation. This movement drew on longstanding structures of Islamic education and piety, social interests, Southeast Asian patterns of performance and aesthetics, and unique features of the Qur'an itself. Based on fieldwork in South Sulawesi and elsewhere in Indonesia, 'Perfection Makes Practice' vividly portrays Indonesian Muslims' committed practice of perfecting their own (and others') Qur'anic piety." (Publisher's description). .

Harmondsworth.: Pelican.. 1942.. 128pp, bibliography, 18 x 11.3cm. Pages evenly browned throughout, endpapers separated from staple binding, original wrappers browned and worn, tail of spine chipped with little loss, overall a fair copy. "China's four years' resistance to aggression has surprised friends and enemies alike, and Japan's alliance with the Axis Powers makes China now a potential ally of the democracies. This book looks into the values of Chinese civilization as it has persisted through five thousand years among four hundred million people. It finds that the New China that is being built up in the West follows a pattern of life that is partly old and partly new. If China can emerge from this struggle a united democratic nation based on ideals not unlike those of the Anglo-Saxon people, there is hope of a world order of freedom and peace."

London.: George Allen & Unwin.. 1955.. v + 166pp. Endpapers slightly foxed, dustjacket little worn, overall a good copy. "Mr. Gale accompanied the delegation of the British Labour Party to China and was one of the first half-dozen journalists to see the new China. He travelled over most of the length, if not the breadth of China and saw the streets cleared of flies and disease. He also saw the slave-labour prisons, the bright new factories and the huge physical reconstruction of China. Nor could he avoid noting the mental reconstruction of China - the brain-washing of six hundred million people. China he concludes is the better for its present good governance and the worse for the Orwell-esque features of that governance. There are no flies in China and, for that matter, neither are there any on the present Chinese Government, as far as the people of China are concerned." (Publisher's description). .
