This handbook of locally based agricultural practices brings together the best of science and farmer experimentation, vividly illustrating the enormous diversity of shifting cultivation systems as well as the power of human ingenuity. Environmentalists have tended to disparage shifting cultivation (sometimes called 'swidden cultivation' or 'slash-and-burn agriculture') as unsustainable due to its supposed role in deforestation and land degradation. However, a growing body of evidence indicates that such indigenous practices, as they have evolved over time, can be highly adaptive to land and ecology. In contrast, 'scientific' agricultural solutions imposed from outside can be far more damagin...

Buku Kesehatan Gigi dan Mulut: Apa yang Sebaliknya Anda Tahu? ini terinspirasi oleh banyaknya masyarakat yang kurang atau tidak peduli dengan kesehatan gigi mereka. Mereka terkadang membenarkan yang biasa, tetapi tidak membiasakan yang benar, misalnya dalam hal coba-coba mengobati sendiri dengan cara membeli obat di warung atau membiarkan gigi mereka sakit sampai benar-benar tak tertahan lagi sehingga setelah parah baru mau berobat ke tenaga kesehatan atau dokter gigi.

Kurangnya sumber tertulis mengenai manusia dan kebudayaan Sunda. Tidak banyak buku atau tulisan tentang sejarah, tentang kesenian dan tentang segala sesuatu yang berkenaan dengan kebudayaan Sunda—terasa sekali kurangnya kalau dibandingkan dengan literatur tentang Jawa dan Bali. Entah mengapa para sarjana asing juga sedikit sekali yang menaruh perhatian terhadap orang Sunda dan kebudayaannya. Di kalangan orang Sunda sendiri tidak ada tradisi menulis dan menyusun dokumentasi, sehingga tak heran kalau generasi belakangan merasa "pareumeun obor," kehilangan petunjuk tentang hubungan dengan nenek-moyang dan saudara-saudara sendiri. Karena itu setelah Ensiklopedi Sunda terbit (2000), segera kami merasa perlu menyusun dan menerbitkan semacam "Who's Who" tentang orang Sunda sebagai database yang membuat biodata tentang orang-orang Sunda yang memperlihatkan prestasi menonjol dalam bidangnya masing-masing.
