Book excerpt: March 1945. A handful of young Allied operatives are parachuted into the remote jungled heart of the Japanese-occupied island of Borneo, east of Singapore, there to recruit the island's indigenous Dayak peoples to fight the Japanese. Yet most have barely encountered Asian or indigenous people before, speak next to no Borneo languages, and know little about Dayaks, other than that they have been - and may still be - headhunters. They fear that on arrival the Dayaks will kill them or hand them over to the Japanese. For their part, some Dayaks have never before seen a white face. So begins the story of Operation Semut, an Australian secret operation launched by the organisation codenamed Services Reconnaisance Department - popularly known as Z Special Unit - in the final months of WWII. Anthropologist Christine Helliwell has called on her years of first-hand knowledge of Borneo, interviewed more than one hundred Dayak people and all the remaining Semut operatives, and consulted thousands of military and other documents to piece together this astonishing story. Focusing on the operation's activities along two of Borneo's great rivers - the Baram and Rejang - the book provides a detailed military history of Semut II's and Semut III's brutal guerrilla campaign against the Japanese, and reveals the decisive but long-overlooked Dayak role in the operation. But this is no ordinary history. Helliwell captures vividly the sounds, smells and tastes of the jungles into which the operatives are plunged, an environment so terrifying that many are unsure whether jungle or Japanese is the greater enemy. And she takes us into the lives and cavernous longhouses of the Dayaks on whom their survival depends. The result is a truly unique account of the encounter between two very different cultures amidst the savagery of the Pacific War.

Book Synopsis The Japanese Occupation of Borneo, 1941-45 by : Ooi Keat Gin
Download or read book The Japanese Occupation of Borneo, 1941-45 written by Ooi Keat Gin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-12-17 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Japanese occupation of both British Borneo – Brunei, Sarawak and North Borneo – and Dutch Borneo in 1941 to 1945 is a much understudied subject. Of particular interest is the occupation of Dutch Borneo, governed by the Imperial Japanese Navy that had long-term plans for ‘permanent possession’. This book surveys Borneo under Western colonialism, examines pre-war Japanese interests in Borneo, and analyses the Japanese military invasion and occupation. It goes on to consider the nature of Japanese rule in Borneo, contrasting the different regimes of the Imperial Japanese Army, which ruled the north, and the Navy. A wide range of issues are discussed, including the incorporation of the economy in the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere and the effects of this on Borneo’s economy. The book also covers issues such as the relationship with the various indigenous inhabitants, with Islam and the Muslim community, and the Chinese, as well as topics of acculturation and propaganda, and major uprisings and mass executions. It examines the impact of the wartime conditions and policies on the local multiethnic peoples and their responses, providing an invaluable contribution to the greater understanding of the significance of the wartime Japanese occupation in the historical development of Borneo.

Book Synopsis KILL THE MAJOR (Second Edition) by : Paul Malone
Download or read book KILL THE MAJOR (Second Edition) written by Paul Malone and published by Strategic Information and Research Development Centre. This book was released on 2023-02-07 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of the 42 Australian, New Zealand and British guerrillas and their Borneo warrior allies who fought behind Japanese lines in World War II and forced the surrender of the last two Japanese companies, ten weeks after World War II’s official end. Over 1,000 Japanese were killed in the Semut I operation, a casualty rate out of all proportion to the small size and armaments of the force. But rather than revere and praise their leader, after the war, many of the guerrillas recounted their hatred for their British major, Tom Harrisson. “One of those amazing stories that wars throw up.” Steven Carroll The Sydney Morning Herald/The Age “Kill the Major reveals much that will be news to the descendants of the Kelabit warriors.” Dr Philip Raja President, Rurum Kelabit Sarawak “While it is now 75 years since Special Operations Australia (SOA) conducted its most successful operation throughout the course of the Second World War, the author has provided a refreshing review of events, and he has reignited much debate over the legacy of Operation Semut!” Major (Rtd.) Jim Truscott Commando—The Magazine of the Australian Commando Association “Malone’s fascinating book reveals that the Allied guerrillas, with the help of traditional headhunting local tribesmen, did an outstanding job after being dropped into the Borneo jungle during the Pacific War. In particular, Malone builds a strong argument that the 9th Division should have accepted the guerrillas’ accurate intelligence and moved inland to round up the two big groups of Japanese roaming the interior. Instead, following the official Japanese surrender, they chose to withdraw, leaving the loyal locals at the mercy of the Japanese.” Brian Toohey National security writer and former Canberra and Washington correspondent, Australian Financial Review

This book was released on 2023-06-12 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access book.Reinventing Hospitality, Travel, and Event for a Future DirectionThe tourism industry is an important sector in the world, particularly in terms of its ability to create jobs, generate income and contribute to people's well-being. While of its importance, the tourism industry is vulnerable to external disruptions. Historically, the tourism industry has been vulnerable to terrorist attacks, recessions, pandemics, natural disasters, and the effects of climate change. Such challenges have also forced the industry to accelerate innovation and transformation to survive and thrive. Technology and digitalization are more commonly used in businesses and organizations' operations. There are shifts in consumer behavior as a result of disruptions. Travelers demand safer products and services and more efficient ways to travel. New products and services emerge as a result of the disruptions, for example, trends in virtual conferences, cloud kitchens, staycations, and many more.
Book Synopsis The Most Offending Soul Alive by : Judith M. Heimann
Download or read book The Most Offending Soul Alive written by Judith M. Heimann and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1999-11-01 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An English eccentric and adventurer, Tom Harrisson (1911-1976) sought knowledge and renown in a dizzying number of fields, while breaking most of the rules of civilized society. He was a precursor in the field of modern market research; he won the DSO for his World War II service in Borneo; he led efforts to save the orangutan, the green sea turtle, and other endangered species; he discovered the oldest modern human skull known at the time. This hugely enjoyable story of Harrisson's extravagant, controversial life offers a sympathetic and insightful look at a charismatic figure who offended as many people as he impressed at the twilight of colonialism on the fringes of the British empire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hafiz bangun dari kubikelnya untuk bertanya sesuatu kepada Sarah. Tetapi dia terpaku apabila melihat ada susuk lembaga putih sedang berdiri betul-betul di sebelah kubikel Sarah. Lembaga itu membalas pandangannya. Seolah-olah sengaja memunculkan dirinya untuk dilihat. Berselendang merah dan hanya menutup sebahagian rambutnya yang panjang mengurai, lembaga itu pegun. Matanya lohong dan gelap sehingga jatuh ke pipi. Bibirnya hanya garisan hitam, berkedut-kedut di atas kulit mukanya yang putih seperti tepung. Tubuhnya terapung dan cahaya lampu yang suram di belakangnya membuatkan kakinya langsung tidak kelihatan. Hafiz perlahan-lahan duduk. “Alamak, Cik Ponti!” Dia berteriak tanpa suara sambil menggigit kesemua jari-jemarinya. Tiga kisah yang berlaku dalam buku ini mungkin pernah benar-benar berlaku kepada kawan kepada kawan kita, atau sepupu kepada kawan kepada kawan kita. Yakinlah, alam ghaib itu wujud. Ia sentiasa menjadi misteri kepada kita, dan rahsia kepada orang-orang yang dianugerahkan Tuhan untuk melihatnya.
Book Synopsis Pulse Methods in 1D & 2D Liquid-Phase NMR by : Wallace S. Brey
Download or read book Pulse Methods in 1D & 2D Liquid-Phase NMR written by Wallace S. Brey and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FROM THE PREFACE: Pulse Methods in 1D and 2D Liquid-Phase NMR is written to enable the practicing NMR spectroscopist to understand and apply the varied and powerful new techniques developed in the past few years for obtaining spectra with greatly increased information content and from smaller and smaller samples. The intent is to describe both theory and practice in simple and detailed fashion so that the methods may be critically evaluated and effectively used in any potential application. As methods become more complex they require more instrument time, and it is important to be able to judge whether the investment of this time is justified. It is also essential for the spectroscopist to be in a position to evaluate the capabilities of the instrumentation available, as well as the additional requirements for utilization of particular new methods. The material in this book assumes a knowledge of continuous-wave NMR methods as well as an elementary understanding of the normal pulsed Fourier-transform spectroscopic procedures, together with a knowledge of such related phenomena as the nuclear Overhauser effect. Although much of the treatment is necessarily methematical, this aspect of the presentation has been simplified as much as possible.

Book Synopsis Masks, Transformation, and Paradox by : A. David Napier
Download or read book Masks, Transformation, and Paradox written by A. David Napier and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1986 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masks are found world-wide in connection with seasonal festivals, rites of passage, and curative ceremonies. They provide a means of investigating the paradoxical problems that appearances pose in the experience of transitional states. In this far-reaching work, A. David Napier studies mask iconography and the role played by masks in the realization of change. The masks of preclassical Greece¯in particular those of the Satyr and the Gorgon¯provide his starting point. A comparison of Greek to Eastern and especially Indian models follows, and the book concludes with an examination of the interpretation of Hindu ideas in Bali that demonstrates the importance of ambivalence in mask iconography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buku Little Sunshine terlahir atas bentuk keprihatinan tim penulis akan kurangnya materi pembelajaran bahasa Inggris tingkat Sekolah Dasar (SD). Seperti yang telah diketahui bersama, kurikulum 2013 yang mengimplementasikan pembelajaran tematik terintegrasi, telah menempatkan bahasa Inggris sebagai ekstra kurikuler pilihan di SD (Kemendikbud, 2013). Sudah semestinya pembelajaran tersebut tidak hanya mengedepankan aspek kognitif saja karena harus mengaktifkan semua aspek termasuk afektif dan psikomotorik. Keterbatasan materi dan media pembelajaran seringkali menjadi alasan ketidaksuskesan pembelajaran bahasa ekstra kurikuler bahasa Inggris di sela implementasi pembelajaran tematik. Buku Little Sunshine ini berisi lagu-lagu anak Indonesia yang juga digunakan dalam tema pembelajaran tematik.Selain lagu, cerita yang ada dalam buku ini juga disarikan dari cerita dalam buku pembelajaran tematik. Dengan konsep dwibahasa, buku ini diharapkan dapat memfasilitasi siswa dalam belajar bahasa Inggris dengan menyenangkan dan masih berhubungan dengan pembelajaran tematik di kelas. Semoga hadirnya Little Sunshine - Bilingual Book dapat bermanfaat bagi ketersediaan materi pembelajaran bahasa Inggris bagi siswa-siswi SD.

Book Synopsis The Airmen and the Headhunters by : Judith M. Heimann
Download or read book The Airmen and the Headhunters written by Judith M. Heimann and published by HMH. This book was released on 2009-01-15 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A true story of downed B-24s in Japanese-occupied Borneo and a native tribe that “makes us—like the airmen—rethink our definitions of civilized and savage” (Entertainment Weekly). November 1944: Their B-24 bomber shot down on what should have been an easy mission off the Borneo coast, a scattered crew of Army airmen cut themselves loose from their parachutes—only to be met by loincloth-wearing natives silently materializing out of the mountainous jungle. Would these Dayak tribesmen turn the starving airmen over to the hostile Japanese occupiers? Or would the Dayaks risk vicious reprisals to get the airmen safely home in a desperate game of hide-and-seek? A cinematic survival story featuring a bamboo airstrip built on a rice paddy, a mad British major, and a blowpipe-wielding army that helped destroy one of the last Japanese strongholds, The Airmen and the Headhunters is also a gripping tale of wartime heroism unlike any other you have read.
