Historical Atlas of Indonesia

En savoir plus sur le livre

"This volume traces the history of the region which became Indonesia from early times to the present day in over three hundred specially drawn full-colour maps with a detailed accompanying text. In so doing, the Atlas brings fresh life to the fascinating and tangled history of this immense archipelago. Beginning with the geological and ecological forces which have shaped the physical form of the archipelago, the Historical Atlas of Indonesia goes on to chart early human migration and the changing distribution of ethnic groups. It traces the kaleidoscopic pattern of states in early Indonesia and their gradual incorporation into the Netherlands Indies and eventually into the Republic of Indonesia."--Jacket
