The mountain flora of Java constitutes a unique natural heritage of Indonesia and indeed of the whole world. The most informative and most beautifully illustrated book ever written on this rich resource is doubtlessly The Mountain Flora of Java written by the late renowned Dutch biologist C.G.G.J. van Steenis, with unsurpassed paint drawings of 456 flowering plant species by Amir Hamzah and Moehamad Toha. The first edition from 1972 was sold out fairly soon. Brill is therefore proud to publish this edition of this seminal work at this point in time. There are three very good reasons to reprint the Mountain Flora both in English and in the Indonesian language. • First of all there is the importance of this flora for biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of the vulnerable mountain ecosystems of Java. • Secondly, the unique style and quality of the 456 plant portraits by Amir Hamzah and Moehamad Toha. • Thirdly there is the science, explaining and interpreting the rich botanical diversity in the mountains of Java. Although written over 40 years ago Van Steenis’ approach to the study of botany can still serve as an example and inspiration for young botanists, conservationists and policy makers.

A wide-flung archipelago lying between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, Indonesia is the world's most populous Islamic country. For over two thousand years it was a crossroads on the major trading route between China and India, but it was not brought together into a single entity until the Dutch extended their rule throughout the Netherlands East Indies in the early part of the 20th century. Declaring its independence from the Dutch in 1945, the Republic of Indonesia was ruled by only two regimes over the next half century Throughout the years the country has continued to be dogged by an inefficient bureaucracy and by perpetual problems of corruption. However, since 2004 Indonesia has successfully carried out four direct elections for president, together with an equal number of elections for legislative bodies at all levels of government, and has finally in 2014 elected a president with no ties to either the military or to the previous authoritarian power structure. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Indonesia contains a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 900 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Indonesia.

In recent years, tropical forests have received more attention and have been the subject of greater environmental concern than any other kind of vegetation. There is an increasing public awareness of the importance of these forests, not only as a diminishing source of countless products used by mankind, nor for their effects on soil stabilization and climate, but as unrivalled sources of what today we call biodiversity. Threats to the continued existence of the forests represent threats to tens of thousands of species of organisms, both plants and animals. It is all the more surprising, therefore, that there have been no major scientific accounts published in recent years since the classic handbook by Paul W. Richards, The Tropical Rain Forest in 1952. Some excellent popular accounts of tropical rain forests have been published including Paul Richard's The Life of the Jungle, and Catherine Caulfield's In the Rainforest and Jungles, edited by Edward Ayensu. There have been numerous, often conflicting, assessments of the rate of conversion of tropical forests to other uses and explanations of the underlying causes, and in 1978 UNESCO/UNEPI FAO published a massive report, The Tropical Rain Forest, which, although full of useful information, is highly selective and does not fully survey the enormous diversity of the forests.

After approximately 2 years of sheer hard work involving over 120 people, we finally managed to complete our monumental task to publish the 1,216 pages book displaying, identifying and describing over 3,500 plant species with beautiful and informative photography illustrations. This is the first book of its kind in Indonesia, and perhaps in the world. The “3,500 Plant Species of the Botanic Gardens of Indonesia” is the true smart book of the plant world for everybody - scientists, researchers, teachers, students, hobbyists and just about anybody who loves plants and gardening. Designed to be easy to use and carry, the book offers complete information on more than 3,500 plant species from the collection of the four botanic gardens of Indonesia: Bogor Botanic Gardens, Cibodas Botanic Gardens, both located in West Java, Purwodadi Botanic Gardens - East Java and Eka Karya Bali Botanic Gardens. These botanic gardens were initially created to acommodate introduced plants that have a commercial potential to Indonesia. Bogor Botanic Gardens, built on 18 May 1817, is for wet lowland species, Cibodas Botanic Gardens, built on 1 April 1852, for wet highland species, Purwodadi Botanic Gardens, built on 30 January 1941, for dry lowland species, and Eka Karya Bali Botanic Gardens, built on 15 July 1959, for dry highland species. From the beginning, native plants are also planted and continuously added with new plant species collected during the expeditions to the many islands in the Indonesian archipelago. The presentation of the plants are divided into sections based on their habitus and genus presented in an alphabetical order so that you can search for the plants that you are looking for in an easy and methodical way. The plant species are divided into 11 sections, starting from Tree, Shrub, Palm, Cycad, Bamboo, Fern, Climber, Succulent, Herb, Aquatic and Orchid. So, if you are looking for a particular tree, go to the Tree section and search for the Latin name first. Apart from the basic data of the species, you will also be able to find the English and Indonesian name of the plant. If you are searching for plants that you see in your garden or herbarium, look under Shrub or Herb sections. A complete Glossary and detailed illustrations of the plant anatomy helps you quickly learn and understand the technical terms used by botanists in describing plant species. The book is beautifully illustrated with excellent photographs showing the full view and details of leaves, flowers, fruit, trunks and some the unique features of the plants - now you can make a positive identification of the plant species quickly and confidently. The book also features a special photography contribution from Mme. Ani Yudhoyono who is a concerned environmentalist, nature lover and avid photographer who has already published a very special book entitled “The Colors of Harmony - A Photography Journey by Ani Yudhoyono”.

Although the only publication with a realistic claim to the title "The plant diver sity of Malesia" is Flora Malesiana itself, we have hesitatingly chosen this title for the present proceedings volume. Past, present and future work on the Flora Malesiana project was the subject of a successful symposium held in August 1989. This book contains only a selection of the papers presented at that meet ing, yet it covers a much greater diversity of themes than just the inventory of botanical diversity. It even goes beyond the boundaries of the vast Flora Malesi ana region in several of its chapters. The role of the founder of the Flora Malesiana Project, Professor C.G.G.J. van Steenis, repeatedly recurs in several chapters; not only as director of and contributor to the project, but also as a pioneer in the fields of Malesian vege tation, conservation and biogeography, and as an enlightened systematist whose ideas and practical recommendations for taxonomic delimitation still largely apply. Botanical information made available in regional and local floras is of vital im portance for applications such as the exploitation of natural forests on a sus tainable yield basis. for establishing gene banks for the benefit of agriculture. forestry and horticulture. and not in the least for nature conservation. Several chapters are devoted to these themes. Floristic studies are also at the basis of the biogeographical essays and vegetation studies included in this book.

This study aims to introduce the natural resource uses of Dayak Mentebah people of the village Nanga Dua, West Kalimantan. It is part of the project CoLUPSIA that focuses on reinforcing small stakeholders rights. Furthermore, ecological data are collected to support the protection of Indonesias species rich and vulnerable tropical forests, threatened through high deforestation rates. The local peoples perceptions about their environment and land uses were assessed using participatory survey techniques: focus group discussions, scoring exercises, free lists of species and participatory mapping. To further record the traditional practices a survey was conducted on medicinal plants. The ecological assessment was done through survey plots in different land use units, where tree diversity and diameter at breast height was measured. The inhabitants of Nanga Dua are dependent upon forest products for food, material for construction, basketry, etc. Medicinal plants are integral part of the health-care system. The traditional, shifting cultivation creates a diverse and mosaic-like patchwork of various types of forests, having different successional stages. Tree diversity in the land-use units was generally high, with the primary forest in immediate proximity acting as tree species reservoir.
