Based on the award-winning PBS documentary series, Ring of Fire is this first-person account of the adventures of two English brothers as they explore the astonishingly rich cultures of the Indonesian archipelago. Their fascinating odyssey began in 1972 with a 2,500-mile voyage through the fabled Spice Islands, in search of the Greater Bird of Paradise. A decade of further exploration followed, during which the brothers lived among the Asmat cannibals of Papua and the healers of Bali, came face-to-face with the man-eating dragons of Komodo, and encountered the elusive dream wanderers of Borneo. Amid impenetrable rain forests, erupting volcanoes and startling natural beauty, the brothers have captured on film and in words the story of one of the most captivating and intriguing explorations ever made.

Spending more than five years in Indonesia, American author Ora Jonasson became fascinated and moved with one Indonesian family—the Datuks. Inspired by them, she pens a non-fiction account of their history and their relationship to the development of their nation in her new book, DATUK An Indonesian Odyssey. Far more than just a history of one family, DATUK An Indonesian Odysseyprofile of a developing nation wrought with pain, sacrifice, and courage. It embodies the struggle of a family as they break the hold of colonialism and forge their national identity. Direct interviews, with the Datuk brothers and sisters, add authentic depth and intensity to the fiction-like romance of their lives. Always maintaining integrity of the family voice, the author weaves a background collage of history, dialogue, and setting to support individual accounts. The story unfolds with the dignity and grace of a traditional wayang performance amid the tropical splendor of Indonesia. With information taken from interviews, collected photos, and travels with family, this story of conviction and urgency also covers topics ranging from political, economic, and social pressure to national consciousness.

It is well-known that Indonesia is blessed with very rich and varied cultural traditions. From Aceh in West to Papua in the East, one finds spectacular creativity expressed through song, dance and in particular, art. It is only in recent years that the international art market has awakened to these treasures created throughout the archipelago, but due to the scarcity of well-developed and properly-maintained public museums, the majority of these masterpieces are obtained by private collectors for their homes. This results in scores of private museums scattered around the country where the treasures are carefully preserved in the notoriously humid tropical climate. In the past, the only way to view these artworks would be via a personal invitation to these private homes. This book, Indonesian Odyssey, opens the doors to these collections for the world to see and enjoy. Dr. Helena Spanjaard, one of Indonesia¿s most respected art historians, has gained unprecedented access to twenty-one of the country¿s most avid collectors, gathering extraordinary insight into their collecting history and philosophy. Indonesian Odyssey profiles each collector and walks the reader through their favorite pieces, assembling an unparalleled anthology of more than 100 artists: from local masters such as Affandi and Hendra Gunawan, and their Indo-European counterparts like Rudolf Bonnet and Willem Hofker; to leaders of the contemporary movement like Rudi Mantofani and I Nyoman Masriadi. Lavishly illustrated with full-color reproductions of more than 230 paintings, Indonesian Odyssey provides a comprehensive catalog of Indonesian art and is a required resource for all collectors - both those with established collections and those just embarking on their own individual journey.

The book traced the journey of his Hakka grandfather who left China for Indonesia in early 20th century as an indentured servant, of his father who was born and grew up in East Java and of himself as a Chinese-Indonesian who grew up in Indonesian, lived through racial and ethnic discriminations and the violent pogrom during 1965-1966. It also chronicled his educational experiences in Chinese high schools in Indonesia and his quest for a higher education that was denied to him in his native land because of his race and educational background. His leap-of-faith journey that took him to Canada, where he succeeded to obtain a doctoral degree in biochemistry and led him eventually to settle in the Golden State of the United States as a research scientist. The book also provided a brief history of Hakka people and their migration to Indonesia. The book points out the fallacy of the concept of native and non-native Indonesians, challenges both Chinese-Indonesians and the Native Indonesians to face the reality of today and to honestly and to objectively discuss what each group has done to other to the detriment of their country.

**Skipping Stones Honor Award Winner** The true story of a prince from Bali, whose fascinating life was shaped by uncommon events and exotic places. Born in 1919, Prince Made Djelantik witnessed pivotal moments of history: the twilight of a feudal age, the Second World War in Nazi-occupied Holland, Indonesia's long battle for independence from four hundred years of Dutch colonial rule, and finally, the great changes provoked on his island by unbridled development. Driven by an early passion for medicine, the prince set sail for Europe on the eve of WWII to study at the University of Amsterdam. His calling then took him to far-flung corners of the planet, where he encountered everything from a pirate ambush in the South China Sea and a night attack by a famished army of rats, to a deadly volcanic eruption and his arrest by Saddam Hussein's secret police. When he returned to Bali in the mid-1970s, his public identity as a doctor took precedence over his royal lineage and he was known simply as "Dr. Djelantik" on the island. The doctor implemented the successful campaign which finally eradicated malaria from Bali and established the island's first hospital. Author Idanna Pucci's evocative narrative of this unusual life is told in short story form, making The World Odyssey of a Balinese Prince an easy read for anyone who finds themselves dreaming of distant places. More than 40 of Dr. Djelantik's own watercolors--done when he was in his 80s--help to illustrate his adventures in vivid detail.
