Ecology of Kalimantan
The Ecology of Kalimantan is a comprehensive ecological survey of one of Indonesia's largest and most diverse islands. This book presents a complete summary of our current scientific knowledge about Borneo including the rainforest and riverine habitats that are endangered by logging and industrial development, along with a discussion of land use patterns and current problems. Kalimantan is the Indonesian portion of the huge island of Borneo. Kalimantan has played a key role in Indonesia’s economic development and is a major earner of foreign revenue due to the island's rich natural resources: forests, oil, gas, coal, and other minerals. In this book the authors argue that Kalimantan can be developed, but within tight ecological constraints and with great care. This book remains a standard reference for scientists, anthropologists, writers, and anyone interested in the region.

The Tidong Dialects of Borneo (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from The Tidong Dialects of Borneo But not only the oriental student will appreciate the work of Mr. Beech; I am confident this fruit of his three years' residence in North Borneo will also be useful to those who may be in need of a practical guide to the Tidong language. Being a colonial myself and having resided in Western Borneo and Java as a magistrate and a controller in the Dutch Colonial Civil Service, I know how helpful such a guide may prove to be in those far-off and scarcely known regions. A short Appendix deals with the phonetic system and some other points of the grammar which needed a more extensive linguistic treating for oriental students. As the Malay language may be...
Where the Strange Trails Go Down
Excerpt from Where the Strange Trails Go Down: Sulu, Borneo, Celebes, Bali, Java, Sumatra, Straits Settlements, Malay States, Siam, Cambodia, Annam, Cochin-China I had planned, therefore, that this should be a light hearted, care-free, casual narrative. And so, in parts, it is. But more serious things have crept, almost im perceptibly, into its pages. The achievements of the Dutch empire-builders in the Insulinde, the conditions which prevail under the rule of the chartered company in Borneo, the opening-up of indo-china and the Malay Peninsula, the regeneration of Siam, the epic strug gle between civilization and savagery which is in progress in all these lands - these are phases of Malay s...
