Extractions: (pp 12 - 14; references given by Spring can be found in the bibliography Weapons cannot on their own be used to explain the complexities of and the reasons for conflict. Nonetheless, it is pertinent to note that anthropologists have only recently begun to be forthcoming on the subject of warfare. As Hallpike (1973) bluntly puts it, warfare is a 'form of behaviour which particularly horrifies intellectuals'. If, as Fukui and Turton (1979) suggest, those intellectuals happen to be anthropologists, their aversion may be compounded by the fact that 'warfare is one of those rare topics of anthropological research, the overwhelming practical significance of which is immediately apparent to the non-anthropologist'. In Africa, the colonial authorities had, to some extent, stamped out or at least suppressed warfare by the time most of the classic ethnographies came to be written. Perhaps the connivance, unwittingly or not, of some early twentieth-century anthropologists in this pacification process may have made the discussion of warfare somewhat distasteful to their immediate successors. As Hallpike points out, such attempts as there were unsuccessfully tried to explain away the sheer irrationality of certain aspects of warfare by forcing each of the large variety of cases to confirm to a simple, restrictive, functionalist model. More recently changes in anthropological theory have produced some stimulating work, for example the collection of essays edited by Fukui and Turton in 1979, but in general the study of traditional warfare in Africa has not received the attention it deserves.

Extractions: Introduction The recognition of Islam in this part of the world has been a fact since C.E. 674 (forty-two years after the death of Prophet Muhammad, pbuh) when the Umayyad ruler Muawiyah was in power at Damascus. Two hundred years later in C.E. 878 Islam was embraced by people along the coast of Peninsular Malaysia including the port of Kelang which was a well-known trading centre. Before the coming of Islam, the indigenous Malays embraced an ancient religion with various forms of belief with some of the population belonging to the Hindu/Buddha religion. Life was structured and arranged in ways that showed the influence of more than one religion. This can be seen not only in the Malay's cultural patterns but is also part of the 'power' structure of state dignitaries and princes. At the political level, the royal ruler and the head of state in most communities in the Malay world embraced the Islamic religion. The people were impressed and attracted by the provision in the Qur'an and the Hadith that mankind should be ranked on a basis of interpersonal equality. Those who for so long had been considered of

Large mammals include Asian elephants; tigers; sun bears; tapirs; several species of deer; and rhinoceroses, which are endangered. Malaysias primates include the endangered orangutans and three species of protected gibbons. Other animals include numerous birds (about 650 species of birds exist in Peninsular Malaysia alone); more than 100 species of snakes, including king cobras and pythons; and many amphibians, including crocodiles and 80 species of lizards. Malaysia is renowned for its huge insect population, including many species of butterflies and moths.

Almost half of these have populations of less than 200,000 and several are less than 100,000. And, most of the small countries in the world are members of the Commonwealth. The severely restricted human resources, for example, which are a function of small size, can critically constrain a country's overall development capacity. COL, which is itself quite small when compared to other international organisations, seeks to expand and enhance the human resources available in small states by increasing access to education and training and by improving their quality. In this edition of COMLEARN we highlight some of our efforts.

WHAT IS IT, WHERE IS IT? Borneo is the world's third-largest island (after Greenland and New Guinea) and straddles the Equator: it lies in the South China Sea south-west of the Malay Peninsula and Singapore, south-east of the Philippines and north of the Indonesian island of Java. Borneo's top third is Malaysian, split into the states of Sarawak (to the west) and Sabah (to the east). Tucked between these two areas is by far the smallest constituent, the Sultanate of Brunei Darussalam (Brunei). But most of the island - 70 per cent - is taken up by the Indonesian state of Kalimantan. WHAT IS THE ISLAND LIKE?

The essays in this book explain what it means to have a past that looms so heavily on the present, showing how colonial legacies have multiple origins and are rooted in a triangular relationship between Europe, Africa, and the Americas and how Latin American history cannot be reduced to simple linear accounts of cumulative change and evolution.
