This dictionary is based on published texts and copies from unpublished manuscripts in Old and Middle Javanese. The vocabulary is arranged in Latin alphabetical order with the base-words as entries. Meaning and usage of the entries are illustrated by quotations from the whole range of the relevant literature. These are arranged in such a way that changes in usage or minor semantic developments can be traced. The reader can then see for himself how the interpretation given, often based on the context, was reached, and whether he agrees with it. In the case of rare words, or where a question mark indicates that there is a doubt about the correctness of the interpretation, many or even all the places where these words occur are given. In other cases what may seem a profusion of examples is provided because of the insight they give into the life and culture of early Java.
This book is written due to the request of numerous parties, institutions and organizations that wishes to know about Indonesian legal system and legal framework. I have published numerous books in the form of ‘Legal Anthology’, but most of them are in Indonesian, with numerous English legal writings scattered in those numerous anthology legal writings. In this particular book (volume 9), all of the English legal writings (in volume 1 to 8) that I have written are specially compiled in a systematic manner. I hope that the publication of this book will help foreign lawyers and institution to have insight and gain knowledge of Indonesian legal system and also exposure to my firm’s legal work. I would like to thanks Ms. Haghia Sophia Lubis S.H., LL.M. for helping me in editing this particular book. This book is written with the help of numerous parties whom which I might not have mentioned, and for that I would like to apologize. It is my sincere aim that this book will help the development of Indonesian legal system and foster relationship and understanding between countries that intends to cooperate in legal matters with Indonesia.

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.
