The Loss of Austronesian Saddle Roof in the Vernacular Architecture of Java, Indonesia
The Austronesian saddle roof is characterised by an extended ridge line resulting in outward sloping gable-ends likened to buffalo horns and boat sterns. It is one of the most distinctive and widely distributed elements in Southeast Asian vernacular architecture. This paper examines the former existence of the roof in Java, where it has been frequently depicted in the island's prehistoric and Hindu-Buddhist artefacts

History of Natural Resources in Asia
Muddied Waters
This book examines the history of human interaction with forest and marine ecosystems in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. Rainforests falling to snarling chainsaws, and factory trawlers emptying the life out of tropical seas, are nowadays among the most familiar images of Southeast Asia. Yet the present excessive levels of logging and fishing have emerged only within the last generation. Until a few decades ago it was common for marine an…
Smallholders and Stockbreeders
Historians of Southeast Asia have traditionally preferred to write about politics and culture rather than economics and ecology, and where they have looked at the history of agriculture they have most often concentrated on cash crops like sugar, coffee and rubber which figure prominently in colonial records. Smallholders and stockbreeders, by contrast, provides a rare survey of the history of foodcrop farming, and a unique look at the history of …
Weathering the Storm
The principal cause of the 1930s depression in Southeast Asia lay outside the region—through a sharp contraction in demand for the region's major commodity exports. But it had important internal causes, too: an oversupply of primary commodities and an increasing scarcity of new agricultural land leading to higher rents and lower wages, rising indebtedness and increasing landlessness. This work thoroughly analyses the pre-war depression. It also l…
Paper Landscapes
Too much of what has so far passed for the 'historical background' to Indonesia's environmental problems has consisted of little more than thinly disguised backward projections of modern trends. The writers in this volume report on their own pioneer journeys into the paper landscapes of the colonial literature and archives in search of the real environmental history of Indonesia.
