Book excerpt: "This book brings together both recent scholarship and classic studies to explore the place of technology in the making of Southeast Asia. By bringing together research that touches on technology with more or less emphasis, from a wide variety of scholars and scholarly approaches it is possible to both understand the richness of material that is already available and to see where areas for further research are needed. The result is a good primer both on the history of technology and the history more generally of this region"--
