Description
A consistently strong seller, "This is Indonesia" is now available in a second edition - with a distinctive, new-look jacket and fully updated coverage of recent political events. Indonesia is an increasingly popular tourist destination. Year after year, millions of tourists arrive to discover for themselves the sophisticated societies of Ball and Java; and the more traditional cultures of Irian Jaya, as well as the country's exquisite, white-sand beaches, ancient rain forests and jagged mountain peaks. "This is Indonesia's" informative text provides an invaluable insight into this diverse country, while more than 250 full-colour photographs vividly bring to life its scenery, wildlife, people and culture.
