Book Review

Muddied Waters: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives on Management of Forests and Fisheries in Island Southeast Asia. Edited by Peter Boomgaard, David Henley, and Manon Osseweijer. Leiden, The Netherlands: KITLV Press, 2005. viii + 418 pp. Illustrations, bibliographies, indexes. Paper €35.00.

As implied by its name, Muddied Waters is a collection of articles about the past and the present condition of forests and fisheries in Southeast Asia, with some predictions about their future. While the articles refer largely to Indonesia, some deal with issues from the Philippines and Malaysia. Each of the two parts of the volume—one about fisheries and one about forests—brings examples of histories of sustainability as well as processes of depletion, analyzing the connections between development, trade, technology, and exploitation from different points of view while using a wide set of case studies. Although most of the articles concentrate on the last two centuries, some go back further in their attempts to analyze either past events or long biological and social processes.
