When Clifford returned from Indonesia, he wrote his first book, Agricultural Involution. It describes the two main kinds of agriculture in Indonesia, swidden and sawah (irrigated rice paddy fields), and their geographical localization. It also describes the historical development of Indonesian agriculture by developing the hypothesis that existing forms of agriculture were intensified instead of changed. Since then, Geertz has published over a dozen books.
