Since its publication in 1985, Peter Bellwood's Prehistory of the Indo-Malaysian Archipelago has been hailed as the sole authoritative work on the subject by the leading expert in the field. Now that work has been fully revised and includes a complete up-to-date summary of the archaeology of the region (and relevant neighboring areas of China and Oceania), as well as a comprehensive discussion of new and important issues (such as the "Eve-Garden of Eden" hypothesis and its relevance to the Indo-Malaysian region) and recent advances in macrofamily linguistic classification. Moving north to south from northern Peninsular Malaysia to Timor and west to east from Sumatra to the Moluccas, Bellwood describes human prehistory from initial hominid settlement more than one million years ago to the eve of historical Hindu-Buddhist and Islamic cultures of the region. The archaeological record provides the central focus, but chapters also incorporate essential information from the paleoenvironmental sciences, biological anthropology, linguistics, and social anthropology. Bellwood approaches questions about past cultural and biological developments in the region from a multidisciplinary perspective. Historical issues given extended treatment include the significance of the Homo erectus populations of Java, the dispersal of the present Austronesian-speaking peoples of the region within the past 4,000 years, and the spread of metallurgy since 500 B.C. Bellwood also discusses relationships between the prehistoric populations of the archipelago and those of neighboring regions such as Australia, New Guinea, and mainland Asia.

Mansuli Valley is one of the valleys that have the longest cultural sequence starting from 235,000 to 3,000 years ago. This makes it the oldest valley in Borneo prehistory that has been dated chronometrically. Now, the prehistory of Sabah is almost in line in terms of age with other early prehistoric sites in Southeast Asia. Mansuli Valley has also contributed to deeper understandings of the Palaeolithic culture, particularly in Sabah and Southeast Asia generally in terms of the technological transformation of stone tools and the relationship with the environment especially with the fluctuations of sea level during the Pleistocene Epoch. It has also been proved that the early human migration to Borneo had started at least in the middle of the Pleistocene Epoch. This has indirectly proved that the changes of the sea level during the time play a critical role in the early human migration in Southeast Asia. Moreover, the environment and climate have also influenced the Palaeolithic societies that have led to their behavioural changes in terms of their technologies and adaptations.

What defines a people? Is it their art or history? For a group of scholars closely involved with education and cultural transformation in Malaysia, the definition comes in unique and classically beautiful forms, like the Ukkil on the Barung of the Suluk people in Sabah. The main author, Nelson Dino, with the help of the co-authors, Baharudin Arus, Lokman Abd Samad and Jul-Amin Ampang had written a historically and culturally important book on the Suluk and their beloved Ukkil or art of carving. They focused on the Ukkil found on the Barung, arguably one of the best swords ever to come out of Southeast Asia. They discussed the historical, cultural, artistic, and social importance of the Barung and how Ukkil found on it can become an important part of the vehicle that can take Sabah into a more enlightened and harmonious place.

Kalimantan, the Indonesian part of the island of Borneo, is a global centre for biodiversity. This work presents a complete summary of scientific knowledge about the riverine, rainforest and coastal ecosystems of Kalimantan. Using maps, colour photographs, and line-drawings, it examines each of the major ecosystems of the island, and the interrelationship between some of their component species. It also focuses on the people of Kalimantan and their use of natural resources, as a major part of these ecosystems.
