A Measure of Papua New Guinea: The Arman Larmer Surveys Story tells the incredible true story of two wide-eyed Australian surveyors who were first sent to PNG on a three-month assignment in 1964 and ended up building the country's most successful survey company. It tells of their 40-plus years battling unforgiving jungles, crocodile-infested swamps, tribal wars and socio-economic turmoil to help make the company—and country—what it is today.
This 415-page, glossy, hard-cover book includes interviews with more than 70 people across the globe, from China to Canada, as well as thousands of websites, hundreds of books and countless contributions from people past and present. It was completed in just 14 months and published by Focus Publishing in July 2008.
