Description
A country of incredible beauty and stupefying extremes, Indonesia sprawls across one-eighth of the globe, stretching between Malaysia and Australia. This is the most complex single nation on earth; each of Indonesia's 992 inhabited islands has customs, dress, architecture, dialects, and geography all of its own. Its wayang puppets, unearthly gamelan music, varied cuisines, ancient ruins and historical sites, nature reserves and friendly people make Indonesia one of Asia's finest travel discoveries. The third edition of Indonesia guides readers to the best the archipelago has to offer. The text is complemented by unusually fine color photography by Kal Muller, and by an intriguing sample of literary excertps. Book jacket.
