The Contribution made by Dutch Engineers to Public Works in Indonesia, 1800-2000
Roads, railway lines and bridges, harbours and cities, irrigation and drinking water supplies: evidence of the presence of Dutch engineers in the former Dutch East Indies may be found everywhere in Indonesia.
For Profit and Prosperity places this legacy from the colonial past in its true perspective. This publication
provides a detailed description of some of the most important civil public works projects of the Dutch East
Indian era while simultaneously outlining the contribution made by the Netherlands to the restoration, modernisation and development of such works in the Republic of Indonesia.
The public works once constructed by Dutch engineers have greatly influenced the way in which Indonesia has become what it is today. For Profit and Prosperity reveals just how all of that happened and it does not merely confine itself to the technological aspect. The relevant social, economic and cultural developments are also subjected to careful scrutiny. This book therefore describes in a unique way just how technology and society
can influence each other.
For Profit and Prosperity does not so much set out to provide a comprehensive catalogue-style overview of all
the public works structures created in the archipelago but rather to provide an insight into the way in which
civil engineering evolved in the former colony. At the same time an impression is inevitably given of the effect which all of that had upon Dutch civil engineering in general.

Wegen, spoorlijnen en bruggen, havens en steden, irrigatie en drinkwatervoorziening: overal in Indonesië zijn de sporen zichtbaar die Nederlandse ingenieurs in het voormalige Nederlands-Indië hebben achtergelaten. Het boek For Profit and Prosperity brengt deze erfenis uit het koloniale verleden in beeld. Het biedt een gedetailleerde beschrijving van de belangrijkste burgerlijke openbare werken in Nederlands-Indië en behandelt bovendien de Nederlandse inbreng bij het herstel, de vernieuwing en de uitbreiding van deze werken in de Republiek Indonesië.
De door Nederlandse of Nederlands-Indische ingenieurs in de archipel ontworpen, gebouwde en gerenoveerde openbare werken zijn van grote betekenis geweest voor het ontstaan van het hedendaagse Indonesië. For Profit and Prosperity laat dat zien en beperkt zich daarbij niet alleen tot de techniek. Het neemt ook de relevante sociale, economische en culturele ontwikkelingen onder de loep. Koloniale staatsvorming, de integratie van Nederlands-Indië in het groeiende wereldhandelsnetwerk, professionalisering van het ingenieursberoep en het ontwikkelingsbeleid in Indonesië onder Soekarno en Soeharto zijn thema's die nadrukkelijk aan de orde komen. Het boek geeft aan dat de Nederlandse ingenieurs in de koloniale tijd opereerden onder een 'exploitatieregime' en een 'ontwikkelingsregime', terwijl na de onafhankelijkheid de Indonesische autoriteiten de koers bepaalden, zij het in een invloedrijke internationale politiek-economische context. De wederzijdse verstrengeling van techniek en maatschappij wordt zo op unieke wijze naar voren gebracht in het boek.
For Profit and Prosperity wil geen uitputtend overzicht bieden van alle tot stand gekomen civieltechnische werken, maar geeft vooral inzicht in de technisch-wetenschappelijke en maatschappelijke ontwikkeling van de weg- en waterbouwkunde in onze voormalige kolonie en tevens in het effect daarvan op de Nederlandse civiele techniek, inclusief toepassingen in het kader van mondiale ontwikkelingssamenwerking.
For Profit and Prosperity is geschreven door een team van Nederlandse en Indonesische specialisten onder redactie van dr. Wim Ravesteijn en prof. ir. Jan Kop met een belangrijke (TU) Delftse inbreng.
Het is de internationale, gewijzigde en aangevulde opvolger van het in 2004 verschenen Bouwen in de Archipel.

We sell both modern and (very) old books and prints, in our physicall store, at fairs and via digital channels.

Special interests lie in art books, artist books, typographic design, advertising publications and company catalogs.
The store was founded in 1994 and is managed by Alie Berger and Michel de Vries, assisted by a permanent club of employees. Alie followed the Vocational Training Bookstore. Michel was chairman of the Bond van Handelaren in Oude Boeken (BOB) for six years and involved in the committee of the Amsterdam Antiquarian Book, Map & Printfair.
Alie and Michel were chosen as Antiquarian Booksellers of the Year in 2011 by Boekenpost, magazine for book and print lovers.
