Product Description
In light of the tremendous changes that have come to the island of Borneo in recent decades, this volume takes a detailed historical look at its environment from native, colonial, and national perspectives. It examines change and continuity in the economic, political, and social dimensions of human-environmental interactions. Reflecting the increasingly multidisciplinary nature of environmental history, the book brings together an international group of historians, anthropologists, geographers, and social foresters, all looking through a historical lens at the environment in Brunei, the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak, and the Indonesian province of Kalimantan.
