  Editorial reviews: 
   
  ‘Quite delightful, with an atmosphere of quiet contentment and humour that cannot fail to charm … The longer we travel with Mr Finchley, the better we come to love him. He makes us share his bread and cheese, and beer and pipe. His delight at the beauties of the countryside and his mild astonishment at the strange ways of men are infectious.’ Daily Telegraph 
   
  ‘His gift of story-telling is obviously innate. Rarely does one come on so satisfying an amalgam of plot, characterisation and good writing.’ Punch

  In the heart of Indonesia, amidst the verdant landscapes of Lebak Regency, lies a remarkable testament to centuries of unwavering commitment to nature’s embrace. Here, a pristine forest thrives, untouched by the relentless march of modern degradation. This sanctuary owes its existence to the Baduy tribe, also known as the Kanekes people, and their revered leader, Pu’un. For generations, Pu’un has masterfully safeguarded this ecological haven, ensuring its preservation through a unique leadership style deeply rooted in traditional values and a profound understanding of cultural sustainability. 
  This ethnographic study delves into the holistic management practiced by the Pu’un of the Baduy tribe, exploring a leadership paradigm that transcends conventional approaches. It unravels the intricate threads of their traditional governance, the profound methods by which values are instilled, and the very source of Pu’un’s enduring knowledge. As the world grapples with escalating environmental crises, the wisdom of the Baduy offers a compelling alternative—a model where human existence and natural harmony are inextricably linked, guided by a leadership that prioritizes the delicate balance of the universe over transient gains. This exploration seeks to illuminate the potential applications of such a holistic approach within contemporary management science, particularly in the critical domain of environmental and natural conservation.
