Sultans, Spices, and Tsunamis: The Incredible Story of the World's Largest Archipelago Indonesia is by far the largest nation in Southeast Asia and has the fourth largest population in the world after the United States. Indonesian history and culture are especially relevant today as the Island nation is an emerging power in the region with a dynamic new leader. It is a land of incredible diversity and unending paradoxes that has a long and rich history stretching back a thousand years and more. Indonesia is the fabled "Spice Islands" of every school child's dreams—one of the most colorful and fascinating countries in history. These are the islands that Europeans set out on countless voyages of discovery to find and later fought bitterly over in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. This was the land that Christopher Columbus sought, and Magellan actually reached and explored. One tiny Indonesian island was even exchanged for the island of Manhattan in 1667! This fascinating history book tells the story of Indonesia as a narrative of kings, traders, missionaries, soldiers and revolutionaries, featuring stormy sea crossings, fiery volcanoes, and the occasional tiger. It recounts the colorful visits of foreign travelers who have passed through these shores for many centuries—from Chinese Buddhist pilgrims and Dutch adventurers to English sea captains and American movie stars. For readers who want an entertaining introduction to Asia's most fascinating country, this is delightful reading.

First published in 1937, Island of Bali is still regarded by many as the most authoritative text on Bali and its fascinating people. Included is a wealth of information on the daily life, art, customs and religion of this magical Island of the Gods. In the author's own words it presents a bird's-eye view of Balinese life and culture. Miguel Covarrubias, the author, was a noted painter and caricaturist as well as a student of anthropology. He lived in Bali for a total of three years in the early 1930s, and today his account is as fresh and insightful as it was when it was originally published. Introducing the island with a survey of hits history, geography and social structure, Covarrubias goes on to present a captivating picture of Balinese art, music and drama. Religion, witchcraft, death and cremation are also covered. Island of Bali will appeal to anyone with interest in this unique island, from general Eat, Pray, Love readers to serious anthropologist alike. Complementing the text are 90 drawings by Covarrubias and countless others by Balinese artists. Also included are 114 half-tone photographs, and five full-color paintings by the author.

Bali's rich historical narrative stretches from the Paleolithic era to the contemporary era, characterized by the dynamic movement of peoples and cultures across Asia. The arrival of Europeans in the 16th century ushered in an era of Western influence, fundamentally shaping Bali's trajectory. Despite enduring a challenging colonial period under Dutch rule, Bali emerged as a beacon for the preservation of traditional culture, evolving into a premier tourist destination renowned for its cultural authenticity. Geologically, Bali, much like other islands in the Indonesian archipelago, owes its formation to the intricate tectonic dance between the Indo-Australian and Eurasian plates. The subduction of the Indo-Australian plate beneath the Eurasian plate uplifted the ancient ocean floor, composed of fossilized marine remnants and coral reefs, to create the island we know today. Remnants of this ancient ocean floor, notably Tertiary limestone, are still visible in landmarks such as the imposing limestone cliffs of Uluwatu in the Bukit peninsula and Prapat Agung in the island's northwest. The dynamic tectonic activity, stemming from the collision of these plates, has birthed a chain of volcanoes spanning the northern expanse of Bali, with the landscape evolving from west to east. Mount Agung, the island's tallest stratovolcano at 3,142 meters (10,308 ft), stands as a prominent testament to this geological dynamism, remaining active to this day.
