dc.descriptionThis volume has its origins in a workshop entitled “The Wealth of Nature: How Natural Resources Shaped Asian History, 1500–2000” held in May 2004 at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NIAS) at Wassenaar, the Netherlands. The workshop was the culmination of a very productive and memorable year spent at NIAS by a research nucleus consisting of Robert Aiken, Greg Bankoff, Peter Boomgaard, John Kleinen, and Baas Terwiel between September 2003 and June 2004. The nucleus studied various aspects of the environmental history of Southeast Asia between 1500 and 2000 with a focus on the mutual interaction of humans and nature. The research encompassed natural and humaninduced changes as well as the ways in which the environment influenced human behavior and how environmental change led, in turn, to behavioral change. Within this rather broad theme, however, the group particularly focused on the exploitation of natural resources. This theme was picked up and expanded during the workshop. All chapters but one in this book are based on papers presented there and a contribution was written specifically for this volume.-
