Description:
Natural History Publications (Borneo). 2017. Hard cover. New in new dust jacket.. 172 p. Includes: illustrations, index, bibliography. . This is the story of the Sungai Kinabatangan and its people, as it was precisely 50 years ago. It follows the great river as it meanders its way across central Sabah, from its source in misty montane forests, through vast tracts of rainforests to its immense estuary of mangrove swamps fronting the Sulu Sea. Between source and mouth it is a river of marked contrasts: of crystal-clear headwaters flowing over boulder-strewn beds; of fast-flowing upper reaches, subject to rapid fluctuations of level, and of a broad floodplain periodically inundated by angry swirling waters. Fewer than 25, 000 people lived in the area at that time and they looked to the river and its tributaries for their means of communication there were no roads.

Description:
Kota Kinabalu: Natural History Publications (Borneo), 2017. First edition. Hardcover. New/new. The Kinabatangan River is the second longest in Malaysia. Today upper reaches of the river have been disrupted by huge logging operations and the clearing of land for plantations, although the lower reaches of mangrove swamps at the edge of the Sulu Sea have fared better. This book is an account of life before the development, when there were no roads and the communities on the river banks were isolated but self sufficient. Illustrated with photographs of 50 years ago, the book is an important contribution to Sabah's historiography. 184 pages. For further details, please see the scanned contents page. Weight 0.8kg.
