Der åbner sig en anderledes og mystisk verden, da kontakten i 1800-tallet bliver tættere mellem Europa og Sydøstasien. Efterretninger om hovedjagt og kraniekult, ikke mindst på Borneo, er et af tidens drabelige temaer.Vestlige eventyrere, opdagelsesrejsende, handelsfolk, missionærer og kolonisatorer møder mennesker med ritualer, hvis eksistens de ikke havde drømt om. Hjemme venter forskere og politikere på nyt fra de fjerne egne. I de lærdes studerekamre bliver de klogere, mens andre trygt sidder i deres lænestol og får sig et godt gys: Tænk engang, de indfødte hugger hovederne af hinanden i drabelige overraskelsesangreb, og med festivitas fragter de trofæerne tilbage til deres boliger, hvor kranier monteres under tagryggen!Mikael Rothstein har fordybet sig i de gamle kilder og fulgt hovedjagtens spor frem til i dag. Kulten for kranierne virker grotesk, men ad overraskende veje, via tæppevævning, en kvækkende frø, turisme, korrupte politikere, ægteskab og stanken af råddent menneskekød, finder forfatteren en dybere mening.For at forstå fænomenet må man sætte sig ind i en fremmed tankegang.Næsehornsfuglen skriger – det er tid til høst!

A remarkable investigation into the hominoids of Flores Island, their place on the evolutionary spectrumand whether or not they still survive.While doing fieldwork on the remote Indonesian island of Flores, anthropologist Gregory Forth came across people talking about half-apelike, half-humanlike creatures that once lived in a cave on the slopes of a nearby volcano. Over the years he continued to record what locals had to say about these mystery hominoids while searching for ways to explain them as imaginary symbols of the wild or other cultural representations. Then along came the ';hobbit'. In 2003, several skeletons of a small-statured early human species alongside stone tools and animal remains were excavated in a cave in western Flores. Named Homo floresiensis, this ancient hominin was initially believed to have lived until as recently as 12,000 years ago possibly overlapping with the appearance of Homo sapiens on Flores. In view of this timing and the striking resemblance of floresiensis to the mystery creatures described by the islanders, Forth began to think about the creatures as possibly reflecting a real species, either now extinct but retained in ';cultural memory' or even still surviving. He began to investigate reports from the Lio region of the island where locals described ape-men as still living. Dozens claimed to have even seen them. In Between Ape and Human, we follow Forth on the trail of this mystery hominoid, and the space they occupy in islanders' culture as both natural creatures and as supernatural beings. In a narrative filled with adventure, Lio culture and language, zoology and natural history, Forth comes to a startling and controversial conclusion. Unique, important, and thought-provoking, this book will appeal to anyone interested in human evolution, the survival of species (including our own) and how humans might relate to ';not-quite-human' animals. Between Ape and Human is essential reading for all those interested in cryptozoology, and it is the only firsthand investigation by a leading anthropologist into the possible survival of a primitive species of human into recent timesand its coexistence with modern humans.

Indonesien er det land på vores jord, der har det største antal vulkaner med omkring 500 i alt med dels meget gamle og tilsyneladende uddøde vulkaner, men også vulkaner, der ligger på havbunden ud for Indonesiens kyster, og som endnu ikke har dannet øer over havets overflade ved sine udbrud.Nogle af de voldsomste vulkanudbrud i historisk tid har fundet sted i Indonesien og i forhistorisk tid, ikke at forglemme det superudbrud, der for 74.000 år siden var ved at tage livet af vores egne forfædre, nemlig Tobas udbrud på øen Sumatra.Bogen lægger vægt på at fortælle om den lokale befolknings harmoni og samliv med vulkanerne i både positiv og negativ henseende. Vulkanernes udbrud gøder jorden med sin lava og aske, men samtidig så er vulkanerne en øjeblikkelig trussel imod indonesernes liv, specielt dem, der bor tættest på vulkanerne.I Indonesien er kulturen og religionerne ofte sammenhængende med vulkanernes voldsomme udbrudshistorie. Ikke at forglemme, så er udforskningen om vulkaners måde at komme i udbrud på blevet stærkt fornyet ved Krakataus udbrud i 1883. Uddrag af bogenMed buldrende brag sprængtes det meste af øen i stumper og stykker. Enorme skyer af sten og aske steg 80 kilometer til vejrs i en søjle af røg ild, samtidig med at vulkanens fundament brød sammen og sank ned i det delvis udtømte magmakammer. Det nedfaldne udbrudsmateriale af aske og klipper faldt ned på havets bølger, som tårnede sig op i over 35-40 meter høje tsunamibølger og satte kurs i alle retninger mod de omkringliggende kyster.Fra den eksploderende vulkan skød glødende laviner bestående af gasser og småsten med en fart af flere hundrede kilometer i timen sig ud i alle retninger over det oprørte havs bølger og ind imod Javas og Sumatras kyster. Flygtende mennesker og dyr, der blev indfanget af disse ildtornadoer, forvandledes på sekunder til levende ildfakler, der vaklede om i sekunder, inden de faldt om og døde. De blev grillet levende til døde. Om forfatterenVulkaneksperten Henning Andersen har viet sit liv til vulkanerne og skrevet en del bøger om emnet og underviser i dag i folkeskolerne og er foredragsholder. I 1985 blev han kendt hos Otto Leisner og vandt Kvit eller Dobbelt. Herefter læste han geologi og har som rejseleder og privat besøgt vulkaner rundtom i verden. Han har været fagdommer i DR’s Kvit eller Dobbelt for skolebørn og udtaler sig ofte om vulkaner i pressen. Han har tidligere udgivet bøgerne: Hekla – Islands dronning, Når vulkaner går amok, Sagn og myter om vulkaner og Vesuv – en udødelig vulkan.

Kopar is a very moribund, close to extinct, language spoken in three villages at the mouth of the Sepik River in Papua New Guinea. This is the only description of the language available. It also discusses areas where rapid language shift is affecting the structure of Kopar. Although the period of fieldwork was necessarily short, this book provides as comprehensive a description as possible of the grammatical structure of this complex and fascinating language. It is quite thorough and detailed and goes well beyond what is normally considered a sketch grammar. It covers all the phenomena essential to description and comparison and gives clear, typologically sound definitions and explanations. The grammar is written with the research interests of language typologists and comparative grammarians foremost in mind. Typologically, Kopar can be described as a split ergative, polysynthetic language. The language lacks nominal case marking so ergativity or lack thereof is signaled by verbal agreement affixes. Tenses and moods which describe as yet unrealized events, like future and imperative, pattern accusatively for agreement affixes, while those express realized events, like past and present, pattern ergatively. In addition, the ergative case schema is overlaid by a direct-inverse inflectional schema determined by a person hierarchy, a feature Kopar shares with other languages in its Lower Sepik family. As a polysynthetic language, incorporation of sentential elements like temporals, locationals, adverbials and verbals is extensive, though noun incorporation is not. Sadly, this work is all the documentation we will likely ever have of Kopar, a language of potentially very high theoretical interest, given its rare typological profile. It will certainly be of interest to language typologists and comparative grammarians, and anyone who wants to explore the range of language variation

A story of staggering scope and drama, Revolusi is the masterful and definitive account of the epic revolution that sparked the decolonisation of the modern world.'Astounding . . . history at its best' Yuval Harari'Utterly compelling' Financial Times'Superb' GuardianOn a sunny Friday morning in August 1945, a handful of tired people raised a homemade cotton flag and on behalf of 68 million compatriots announced the birth of a new nation: Indonesia.Four million civilians had died during the Japanese wartime occupation that ousted its Dutch colonial regime. Another 200,000 people would lose their lives in the astonishingly brutal conflict that ensued - as the Dutch used savage violence to reassert their control, and as Britain and America became embroiled in pacifying Indonesia's guerrilla war of resistance: the 'Revolusi'. It was not until December 1949 that the newly created United Nations finally brought the conflict an end - and with it, 350 years of colonial rule - setting a precedent that would reshape the world.Drawing on hundreds of interviews and eye-witness testimonies, David Van Reybrouck turns this vast and complex story into an utterly gripping narrative that is alive with human detail at every turn. A landmark publication, Revolusi shows Indonesia's struggle for independence to be one of the defining dramas of the twentieth century.'A magnificent fusion of oral history, sparkling analysis, and historical wisdom. Revolusi has it all: a masterpiece' SEBASTIAN MALLABY'One of the most unlikely and astonishing sagas ... a towering achievement' THOMAS MEANEY'A magisterial but gripping account of events of urgent importance to us now' JASON BURKE'At once vast and intimate, a history in colour' LAKSMI PAMUNTJAK'A masterly display of the historian's craft' J M COETZEE'A wonderful and important book' PETER FRANKOPAN

Many countries in Asia are inhabited by multi-segment societies diversified in terms of race, religion, language and economic status. They have repeatedly provided the basis for analysis of the search for consensus in the construction of a political scene that would ensure the participation in power of each group. Regardless of the chosen model, the distribution of power in multi-segment societies has always been characterized by a state of "unstable equilibrium". Practical solutions constantly evolved between consociationalism, centripetalism, federalism. In extreme cases they led to political disintegration of states or to permanent domination of one of the segments, most often based on authoritarian solutions. In this volume, a group of scholars specializing in countries of the region try to point out the dynamics of the "unstable equilibrium" of power sharing in particular Asian countries and analyze the trends occurring in them in the 21st century.

More than one billion people live in slums, and it remains a distant dream to achieve adequate housing for all, as articulated in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 11). Sound housing policies for the poor do exist but require an appropriate governance framework and a normative orientation. This book analyses in detail half a century of international discussions on housing, slums, and informal settlements, identifies policy phases (self-help, enabling) and discusses pros and cons of applied measures globally and in the context of Indonesia. It contributes to a better understanding of interlinkages between urban governance and housing policies by employing the analytical framework of policy arrangements, and by developing a normative compass based on Henri Lefebvre's right to the city. Empirically, it examines and compares housing strategies (social housing, resettlements, slum upgrading) and modes of governance in two case studies, the Indonesian cities Surabaya and Surakarta. The findings show that specific policy arrangements oriented towards a normative goal are crucial for the emergence of sound housing policies and a societal transformation that benefits marginalised groups.

A fossil expedition becomes a thrilling search for a mythical beast deep in the Indonesian forest - and a fascinating look at how fossils, folklore, and biodiversity converge.The need to understand and conserve biodiversity has never been more pressing. This is particularly urgent for vulnerable ecosystems such as islands, which have suffered human-caused extinctions throughout history and recent prehistory.A tale of exciting scientific discovery, The Tomb of the Mili Mongga is based on the story of expeditions to the island of Sumba in eastern Indonesia. While there, Professor Samuel Turvey discovers an entire recently extinct mammal fauna from the island's fossil record, revealing how islands support some of the world's most remarkable biodiversity, and why many endemics are threatened with extinction.But as the story unfolds, a new narrative emerges - Sumba's indigenous communities tell of a mysterious wildman called the mili mongga, a giant yeti-like beast that supposedly lives in the island's remote forests. What is behind the stories of the mili mongga? Is there a link between this enigmatic entity and the fossils Sam's looking for? And what did he discover when he finally found the grave of a mili mongga?The Tomb of the Mili Mongga combines evolution, conservation, anthropology, travel writing and cryptozoology to explore the traditional culture and unique biodiversity of a tropical island that's largely unknown to the outside world. It also considers wider questions about the relationship between biodiversity and cultural diversity, what reality means from different cultural perspectives, and how folklore, fossils and biodiversity conservation can be linked together in surprising ways.
