Download or read book Sumatra written by Edwin Meyer Loeb and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1989 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourth largest island in the world and home of the orangutan and flying fox, Sumatra has a long, colorful, and not widely-known history. First published in Vienna in 1935, Edwin M. Loeb's fascinating study has served as the only history of the island and its people available in English since William Marsden's The History of Sumatra appeared in 1783. Even today, it remains the only general book in English to explore Sumatra as a whole. Remarkably thorough in its coverage, Sumatra: Its History and People offers detailed accounts of the economic life, society, and religion of all of Sumatra's regions from Aceh in the north through the lands of the Batak and Minangkabau to Lampung in the south. Loeb provides an insider's view into the societal conditions of Sumatra, including land rights, marriage restrictions, totemism, childbirth, puberty ceremonies, divorce, position of women, cosmology and cosmogony, death and the afterlife, witchcraft, industries, and much more. The book also covers the islands of Nias, the Mentawei group, and Enggano, and includes a separate section on archaeology and art. This invaluable survey of the whole island will particularly appeal to the non-specialist reader in search of reliable information about this exotic land.

Download or read book From Distant Tales written by Dominik Bonatz and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the most comprehensive book devoted to Sumatra in more than half a century. It summarizes earlier studies, and provides a huge amount of new knowledge for the first time in readily accessible form. Sumatra is one of the world’s largest islands, rich in flora and fauna, minerals and timber, and located at the midpoint of the maritime route between China and India. These are ideal conditions for the creation of a fascinating history. Sumatra has played a major role in world trade for 2,000 years, but its culture and archaeology have been surprisingly neglected. This volume sets out to remedy this defect. With chapters on history, archaeology, anthropology, folklore, and religion, the authors focus particular attention on the relations between the coastal peoples who are best known to outsiders, and the hinterlands, where most of the important resources lie. The list of authors includes most of the principal living authorities on Sumatra. Their cumulative experience consists of many years on all parts of the island. The book is copiously illustrated, and includes a comprehensive bibliography for those who wish to pursue further study of the wide range of topics covered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the rise of the settlement system in the heartland of the Minangkabau region in the highlands of West Sumatra, Indonesia. It explores the regional settlement pattern arising from Adityavarman’s highland interregnum (c. 1347–75), and provides the first attempt to place the archaeological remains and the landscape of Tanah Datar, a fertile plain in the highlands of West Sumatra, in a cultural historic synthesis. The core of this research consisted of excavations at Bukit Gombak and Bukit Kincir. Bukit Gombak was a central place in Adityavarman’s kingdom, and provides evidence of the organization and material development of this political entity. Surveys uncovered other settlements that could be examined in relation to each other and to sites from earlier and later periods, and used to sketch out the settlement history of Tanah Datar from prehistoric times to the colonial period. The book consists of detailed studies of metal, ceramics and glass finds by laboratory-based specialists as well as careful descriptions of stone, clay and other finds.

Download or read book Ecology of Sumatra written by Tony Whitten and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06-26 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ecology of Sumatra distills for the first time the information found in nearly 1,500 scholarly works relevant to an understanding of the full range of natural and man-made ecosystems on the island—many of them available only in Dutch, German or Indonesian. It was originally prepared by a team working at the Centre for Resource and Environmental Studies (CRES) at the University of North Sumatra to supplement existing documents. This new version is aimed at general readers and includes a section on recent development on Sumatra, as well as an additional bibliography of recent publications. It contains hundreds of line drawings, tables, maps and photographs. It is hoped that The Ecology of Sumatra will prove useful to resource managers, ecologists, environmental scientists and local government personnel, and be enlightening to Sumatra’s inhabitants and visitors. It should also be of great interest to anyone wanting to learn about Southeast Asian biology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Sumatra is the sixth largest island in the world and home to an estimated 44 million Indonesians, its musical arts and cultures have not been the subject of a book-length study until now. Documenting and explaining the ethnographic, cultural, and historical contexts of Sumatra's performing arts, Musical Journeys in Sumatra also traces the changes in their style, content, and reception from the early 1970s onward. Having dedicated almost forty years of scholarship to exploring the rich and varied music of Sumatran provinces, Margaret Kartomi provides a fascinating ethnographic record of vanishing musical genres, traditions, and practices that have become deeply compromised by the pressures of urbanization, rural poverty, and government policy. This deeply informed collection showcases the complex diversity of Indonesian music and includes field observations from six different provinces: Aceh, North Sumatra, Riau, West Sumatra, South Sumatra, and Bangka-Belitung. Featuring photographs and original drawings from Kartomi's field observations of instruments and performances, Musical Journeys in Sumatra provides a comprehensive musical introduction to this neglected, very large island, with its hundreds of ethno-linguistic-musical groups.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Sumatra: Containing an Account of the Government, Laws, Customs, and Manners of the Native Inhabitants, With a Description of the Natural Productions, and a Relation of the Ancient Political State of That Island I have therefore attempted rather to give a comprehensive, than a circum stantial description of the divisions of the country into its various go vernments; aiming at a more particular detail, in what respects the customs, opinions, arts, and industry of the original inhabitants, in their most genuine state. The interests of the European powers who have established themselves on the island; the history of their settle ments, and of the revolutions of their commerce, I have not considered as forming a' part of my plan; but these subjects, as connectedwith the accounts of the native inhabitants, and the history of their governments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Indonesian island of Sumatra is part of a chain of islands making up Sunda and the Malay Archipelago. Sumatra is one of the largest islands in the world, housing unique and globally important tropical rainforests, a diverse array of rare plants and magnificent animals, and a population of 60 million who speak a range of Austronesian languages. As beautifully exemplified in this volume, Sumatra is a place which preserves a distinct and long-term human history, studies of which began in earnest with Eugene Dubois’s explorations in the 1880s to find our ancestral ‘missing link’. Archaeological investigation of megaliths and historic empires carry on to this day. A range of topics are explored here, including palaeontological study of fossil mammals and their environments, the routes that Homo erectus took during their wanderings across Indonesia, and the growth and development of societies and empires in more recent periods. This exemplary volume presents a revised view of the history of palaeontological and archaeological research as well as new ground-breaking field research, laying the foundation for future research on the biological and cultural evolution of one of the most majestic islands of the world.” — Professor Michael Petraglia, Director of the Australian Research Centre for Human Evolution, Griffith University
