Singapore: NUS Press, 2013. Paperback. New. Until recently the prevailing historical view has been that Stamford Raffles 'founded' Singapore. Miksic brings together 25 years of archaeological research to show that Singapore, formerly known as Temasik, was a key point on trade routes from the 14th century onwards. The 491 page work looks first at the historical background, then at the archaeological background and finally at Singapore's position in its regional context. With numerous black and white photographs, maps, tables, figures, a bibliography and an index. Weight: 1.3 kg.

George Town, Penang: Areca Books, 2014. First edition. Paperback. New. One of the main features of the post World War II scene has been the startling development of many Asian countries into being often bigger and better examples of industrial development than the pre-war industrial North. In this book the author, one of the main movers at the Global Centre of Sustainable Futures and Spirituality, charts a different development more rooted in the varied Asian cultural and spiritual traditions. He sets out to show, through a selection of community case studies, how such developments , although less publicised, may well outlast the widely trumpeted Asian industrial regeneration. 153 pages.

Singapore: NUS Press, 2015. Paperback. New. This book demonstrates that Philippine financial insecurity is nothing new. As this book demonstrates, financial difficulties were prevalent in the US colonial period as well. Based on a reexamination of original documents, the author argues that the major financial crisis of the early 1920s was a result of colonial mismanagement rather than 'corruption' at the Philippine National Bank, as had previously been believed. 248 pages.

Description:
London: Routledge, 1997. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Islam has been notable in the late 20th and early 21st centuries for being strident in its identification with both internal and external politics in many countries. Malaysia, being a predominantly Muslim country, has not escaped that trend. In this book Nair looks at how that coalition of religion and politics has affected Malaysia's external political agenda, particularly during the first premiership of Mahathir Mohamad. She also contrasts this 'right Islam', as she calls it, with the 'wrong Islam' of extremists. Very Good Hardback. First Edition 301 pages with a bibliography and index. Weight: 1 kg Post free within Malaysia The cover has some bumping on the corners and minimal dirt on the text block. Otherwise the book looks new

Description:
Paris, France: Payot, 1934. Paperback. Very Good. The book, originally published in English in 1931, purports to be the autobiography of a plainclothes Malay policeman recruited from boyhood to work undercover. In the introduction the author says he withholds his name to protect himself and others and yet there is apparently a photo of the diminutive author standing next a towering Englishman as the frontispiece. That said, the book gives an interesting insight to undercover police work in Malaya before the First World War, in the first World War in France and then back in Malaya tackling the beginnings of Communism. The book was sufficiently popular to translated into French shortly after its original English publication. Very Good Paperback. First French Language edition 235 pages. Weight 0.5kg. Post free within Malaysia The cover has some wear with a bit of fraying around the edges. The binding is tight and there is mild tanning throughout.
