Published in 1987 in hardback with dustjacket, 99pp, ISBN 9839580000, this is Dennis Lau's photographic record of the 'Penans: The Vanishing Nomads of Borneo'. It is a compilation of photographs on the Penans in Sarawak on the Island of Borneo. The photographs were taken over a period of nearly twenty years from 1968 to 1987. The pictures are unique in the sense that they show the Penans in their original habitat - the deepest parts of the Borneo Jungle where few have ventured. The Penans are among the last of the nomadic hunter-gatherers living in the world's tropical rainforests today. In the island of Boreo, the tribe is found in both the Malaysian state of Sarawak and Indonesia Kalimantan. Administratively, Sarawak is divided into nine divisions named after the main towns - Kuching, Sri Aman, Sibu, Miri, Limbang, Sarikei, Kapit, Samarahan and Bintulu. There are two main river systems, the Rejang River which is the longest river in Sarawak, and the Baram River, the second longest. Not surprisingly, most of the natives settle in longhouses alongside these two rivers and their tributaries for their dependence on drinking water, washing and fishing. These two river systems also form the natural geographical boundaries of the distribution of the nomadic Penans. It is estimated that there are only about less than ten thousand of them living in Sarawak today [1987]. They are mainly found in the remote jungles of the Miri and Limbang divisions, and to a lesser extent in the Kapit and Bintulu divisions. They are the only true jungle dwellers among the people of Borneo. Although some of the other indigenous tribes such as the Ibans, Kenyahs, Kayans and Kelabits may live in jungle areas, they essentially follow a settled way of life in longhouses practising shifting cultivation. The true jungle Penans, however, live their lives in the forest. They have no permanent houses but keep continually on the move. There's a map of Malaysia (Sarawak) in the front of the book, Hardcover, Format: Illustrated, Label: Inter-State, Inter-State, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 1987, Freigegeben: 1987-01-01, Studio: Inter-State, Verkaufsrang: 8772976.
