Hinduism in Modern Indonesia
This book provides new data and perspectives on the development of 'world religion' in post-colonial societies through an analysis of the development of 'Hinduism' in various parts of Indonesia from the early twentieth century to the present. This development has been largely driven by the religious and cultural policy of the Indonesian central government, although the process began during the colonial period as an indigenous response to the introduction of modernity.
Economic Development
Economic development is an important focus of anthropological work in rural and urban communities around the world, and in this volume the contributors offer expert analyses on the theory and practice of development. Chapters cover the key topics of market systems, agricultural knowledge, modernization, population growth, participatory development, conservation strategies, culturally sustainable development, globalization and privatization, tourism, urban development, and financial markets. The cross-cultural focus of the volume provides original data on development processes in many countries, including the Philippines, Bali, Costa Rica, Mexico, Honduras, Venezuela, Kazakstan, and the United States. The book will be a welcome source of comparative research for anthropologists, development specialists, agricultural researchers, environmentalists, and geographers.
Improvisation and Composition in Balinese Gendér Wayang
This book is an examination of the music of the Balinese gendér wayang, the quartet of metallophones - gendér - that accompanies the Balinese shadow puppet play - wayang kulit. The book focuses on processes of musical variation, the main means of creating new music in this genre, and the implications of these processes for the social and historical study of Balinese music, musical aesthetics, concepts of creativity and compositional methods. Dr Nick Gray tackles a number of core ethnomusicological concerns in a new way, including the relationship between composition and improvisation, and also highlights issues specific to Balinese music, including the importance of flexibility in performance, an aspect that has been largely ignored by scholars. Gray thus breaks new ground both in the study of issues relating to improvisation and composition and in Balinese music studies.

Bhuwana Sankṣépa
Mempelajari kosmologi dari sisi spiritual memiliki tujuan berbeda dengan kosmologi dalam ranah sains. Meskipun terdapat berbagai elemen yang sama dengan sains modern, tujuan mempelajari kosmologi dari sisi rohani (spiritual) adalah untuk mempertajam daya beda manusia bahwa ia sesungguhnya berbeda dengan alam. Meskipun tubuhnya tersusun atas unsur-unsur alam, tubuh itu tidak akan dapat hidup tanpa sentuhan unsur rohani (spiritual). Karena itu, kosmologi spiritual Hindu tergolong dalam ilmu samkhya, yakni ilmu pengetahuan esoterik yang khusus membahas mengenai perbedaan unsur-unsur materi dan spiritual. Samkhya adalah ilmu dasar bagi siapa pun yang serius ingin mencapai pembebasan dari penderitaan di alam fana ini.
Tutur Parakriya: Kontemplasi dan Rekonstuksi Moral Hindu
Lontar Tutur Parakriya menguraikan tentang percakapan antara Bhatara Iswara (Siwa) kepada Bhatara Kumara. Diawali permintaan dari Bhatari Uma agar Sang Hyang Kumara berkenan menanyakan kepada Bhatara Iswara tentang ajaran yang mengantarkan sesorang menuju moksa. Selanjutnya Bhatara Kumara bertanya mengenai asal mula kejadian yang dinyatakan bahwa segala sesuatu yang ada berasal dari Tuhan Yang Maha Esa yang diistilahkan dengan niskala. Dari keadaan niskala kemudian timbul sesuatu yang berwujud namun tanpa ukuran sehingga disebut matra. Dari matra tersebut kemudian menyusul berturut-turut nada, bindu dan ardhacandra yang kemudian menimbulkan pusat keadaan yang disebut dengan wiswa. Penelitian yang dilakukan oleh penulis buku ini mengungkap ajaran-ajaran moral dan etika kehinduan dalam teks Tutur Parakriya. Meskipun teks ini dibuat pada awal abad kedua puluh, tampaknya ada referensi dari sumber-sumber yang lebih tua. Meskipun demikian, ajaran etika dasar dalam teks Tutur Parakriya adalah langkah awal menuju keinsafan diri.
