Borneo is the third biggest island in the world. Diverse in flora and fauna, inhabited by indigenous peoples who have inhabited the island for over 40,000 years as well as by more recent migrants there is something in Borneo for everyone.

This compact book contains information about the history of Borneo, its geography and its cultural traditions. But wait: Borneo is not a homogeneous whole. It consists of the Indonesian State of Kalimantan, the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak and the tiny oil-rich sultanate of Brunei. Borneo is resource-rich but is losing its rich primary tropical rainforest as logging operations expand. This has its own set of environmental impacts.

So, you’d like to travel to Borneo and perhaps to climb Mt Kinabalu? Or are you interested in jungle trekking or diving? Or maybe you’d like to combine all of these activities as well as having a relaxing holiday? Or perhaps you’d just like to read a little about what Borneo has to offer?

Regardless of your plans, the Lonely Planet guide to Borneo is a great starting point. Full of maps and useful information for the seasoned and new traveller alike, this guide provides a lot of information and lets you know where to find more. When you pack your bag, don’t forget your leech socks!

I realise this doesn't count as a book but I'm reveiw it because I can't possibly let Josh down because I know how desperate he is to know how I feel about this book.
It's actually quite excitting to read about the place you're travelling to. It's adding to the anticipation of the trips and I'm just crazy pumped.
