A most delightful and insightful read and a visual feast for the eyes as far as the photography. Some of the text I did not care for the usual talk of early settlers and sp forth and a then ussrBased contributor/photographer. However it does explore briefly how Indonesia saved itself from the evils of Communism. It's many cultures, briefly the character of its wonderful people, their temperaments,traditions and faith. Very interesting large coffee-table book.
