This is Borneo (Updated ed)

This fully updated study, illustrated with over 250 colour photographs and historic prints, takes an informed look at a fascinating land that has long attracted explorers, scientists, traders and historians seeking to uncover its riches.

Through the combination of its extended introductory profile and its photo essays on The Land, The People and The Wildlife, the story of Borneo is revealed.

Its long and complex history from earliest civilisations through Asian and European influences to the present day is described.

The Bornean peoples - hunters, nomads and farmers, merchants and modern business people - and their diverse lifestyles are depicted.

The book also gives us an insight into the incredible diversity of the island's unique flora and fauna; the rivers, mountains, forests and tropical coasts that form the island's physical features; and Borneo's development and role today.
