Indonesian Heritage Series Book


In my book case, there is one of my precious collection. It is the Indonesian Heritage Series Book 1 - 10. Below is the description of the publisher of the book.

The Indonesian Heritage Series represents an important breakthrough in reference publishing. This multi-volume thematic encyclopedia focusing on Indonesia's natural and cultural heritage is the first comprehensive encyclopedia to cover the entire Indonesian Archipelago from Sumatra to Irian Jaya. One of the world's most populous nations, Indonesia is home to one of the world's richest and most resilient civilisations. However, few people outside the region know much about this country and its fascinating and colourful cultures and biological diversity.

The Indonesian Heritage Series is richly illustrated in full colour, with photographs, specially commissioned illustrations, maps diagrams and images drawn from archives in Asia, Europe and the United States. These volumes set out to inform and educate, providing the reader with a broad-based overview of one of the world's largest nations. Each volume has been prepared under the guidance of a volume editor who is an expert on the subject covered. The volumes are arranged in chapters consisting of a series of double-page spreads, each written by a specialist in that field, and may be read in sequence as part of the overall subject, or as individual discussions of a particular topic.


The title of the series are below:
- Ancient History
- The Human Environment
- Early Modern History
- Plants
- Wild Live
- Architecture
- Visual
- Performing Arts
- Religion and Ritual
- Language and Literature
