AEC Southeast Asia is home to an incredibly rich food history. From Vietnam’s French colonial-inspired bánh mì to Singapore’s iconic chicken rice to Thailand’s creamy tom yam goong soup, this is one cuisine that embraces enough flavors to satisfy any palate. Nowhere else in the world can you find cuisine that compares to the diverse, vibrant, colorful, and flavorful food found right here! Thai Food Thailand’s food needs little introduction. Its profusion of exotic flavours and fragrances makes it among the most coveted of international cuisines. Whether chilli-hot or comparatively bland, harmony is the guiding principle behind each dish. And it is this very harmony that pervades the ingenious marriage of centuries-old Eastern and Western influences to render delectable dishes that are uniquely Thai. Burmese Food The core of any Burmese meal, rice is a staple served with a variety of Burmese dishes. The country’s cooking is itself an extraordinary blend of Burmese, Mon, Indian and Chinese influences. One of the pleasures of eating an authentic Burmese meal is the sheer variety of dishes at a single setting, something that rivals even Thai food. Vietnamese Food What’s the first Vietnamese taste-bud delight that comes to mind for you? Phở? Bánh mì? Spring rolls? When talking about "Vietnamese food," you are in fact talking about rice in many forms, fish sauce (lots of it), herbs, seafood, pork, beef, chicken, and tropical fruits, with flavors borrowed from the French imperialists and nearby countries like Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and China. Malaysian Food Malaysia’s culinary style is primarily a melange of traditions from its Malay, Chinese, Indian, Indonesian and ethnic Bornean citizens, with heavy to light influences from Thai, Portuguese, Dutch, and British cuisines - just to name a few. Traditional Southeast Asian herbs and spices meet Indian, Middle Eastern and Chinese spices in the generally zesty Malaysian food. Bursting with flavor, the food in Southeast Asia is so fresh, piquant, and mouthwateringly delicious that it is the number one reason for scheduling a visit to the far east. Start your Southeast Asian food journey from our top picks of Southeast Asian cookery titles!


review

Engaging Art Creativity's most visible form is of course art. There are so many types of art including drawings, paintings, photography, print media, handicrafts, sculptures, and more. Art, no doubt, has aesthetic qualities. Just imagine how dull our world would be without the beauty of art. It would be like living in black and white, wouldn’t it? But art can do more than bring beauty to the world. It is not just something to look at but something that anyone can do. And by creating art yourself, you will discover that art can have wide-reaching impacts in your everyday life for many reasons.

Art allows us to communicate and say what cannot be said or even say what we want to say without words. It helps us develop our own style and express ourselves, our thoughts, our experiences and our impressions of the world around us.

Art is something that everyone engages in at any age, anytime, and anywhere. Art inspires and lets us be creative and unique. Art allows us to communicate and say what cannot be said or even say what we want to say without words. It helps us develop our own style and express ourselves, our thoughts, our experiences and our impressions of the world around us. 6


• r e a d m o r e... Art is not just a way to augment creative expression but also a reflection of society. It is a demonstration of our very humanity. As such, it can connect the peoples of the world. It transcends cultural differences and is something that we, as people, can share no matter where we come from.

Art can also make you smarter and be a source of therapeutic healing. There is scientific proof that arts training strengthens the brain’s attention system and that this in turn can improve general cognition or understanding and help you focus or concentrate better than before. Moreover, when you take the time to create art, it leads to physical and emotional relief and relaxation. Art could also be the starting point of something big. As you mold a piece of pottery or sketch a drawing, your mind relaxes and in that moment of relaxation you might come up with the perfect solution for that pest of a problem you’ve been facing. Or perhaps what began as just a doodle on a piece of paper could end up being used in commercial design which in the end brings you more prosperity! So you see…while art may not be vital to fulfilling our basic needs, it does make life not just enjoyable but much more deeply meaningful and can boost our level of achievement in several ways. And that’s why I’d love to share with you just a couple of related book highlights for you to keep an eye out for the next time you visit any of our Asia Book branches. We’ve got Millie Marotta’s Tropical Wonderland which is an absolute riot of colouring and drawing. Millie’s intricate illustrative style dares you to make each page your own with your own lines and splashes of color as you bring exotic creatures and plants to life. Also on display is The Magical City which showcases the hidden wonder of urban landscapes from across the globe and enables you to see the world in a whole new perspective as you color and doodle. In Time Chamber Korean artist Daria Song takes you on a magical journey where you customize, with whatever colors you can dream up, a nighttime world as seen through the eyes of a fairy - how fantastical! And no collection of coloring books would be complete without Animorphia, a wacky artistic challenge with ink drawings of incredible animals, shape-shifting aliens and amazing scenes that need you to complete them. These are just a few of the incredible titles you’ll find at Asia Books. They’re sure to spark inspiration, creativity, enjoyment and relaxation to one and all. Books are more than just words on pages. They are art. Enjoy!

9781849942850 MILLIE MAROTTA'S TROPICAL WONDERLAND

review

As art has no limits, it teaches us that more often than not problems can have multiple solutions. Art also demonstrates that small details can have great impact. It should come as no surprise then that art improves critical thinking skills and creative problem solving, abilities that can prove truly meaningful not only at home but at school or in business settings.

This title is powerful new book by Robert Steven Kaplan, leadership is accessible to all of us--today--and it starts with an ownership mind-set. You don't need an invitation to lead. Leadership is a dynamic way of thinking and acting that anyone can take on. For Kaplan, acting as a leader is a function of three key questions: 1. Do you work to figure out what you believe as if you were an owner? 2. Do you take action based on those beliefs? 3. Do you focus on adding value to others and take responsibility for the impact of your actions on others-both positive and negative?

Jack Reacher has no place to go, and all the time in the world to get there, so a remote railroad stop on the prairie with the curious name of Mother's Rest seems perfect for an aimless one-day stopover. He expects to find a lonely pioneer tombstone in a sea of nearly-ripe wheat...but instead there is a woman waiting for a missing colleague, a cryptic note about two hundred deaths, and a small town full of silent, watchful people. Reacher's one-day stopover becomes an open-ended quest... into the heart of darkness.

Out of Soviet deprivation Vladimir Putin came as a reformer rising to the pinnacle of influence in the new Russian nation. Bringing increased prosperity to millions suffering instability, poverty and criminality after the Soviet collapse, he brutally crushed revolts and dispatched dissenters while retaining the support of many. Former New York Times Moscow Bureau Chief Steven Lee Myers has followed Putin since well before the recent Ukraine events and gives us the fullest account available of this most conflicted yet important leader's rise to power. As the world confronts a newly assertive Russia, understanding Putin has never been more important.

9780007282777 PHANTOM TERROR: THE THREAT OF REVOLUTION AND THE REPRESSION OF LIBERTY 1789-1848 By ADAM ZAMOYSKI Paperback

European rulers' nerves were unsettled by the French Revolution and Enlightenment and Napoleon’s arrival intensified their fears. Once Napoleon was toppled, Europe’s monarchs took over his role of preventing subversion with hegemony. However, their attempts were ineffectual. The 1848 revolutions embodied the climactic clash many expected, but was no Armageddon, lacking the dreaded mass support and revealing the groundlessness of the rulers’ fears. Interestingly, the sense of a great, subversive threat still lingers on even today. Adam Zamoyski’s compelling history explores how the European rulers and governments of the time envisaged the future and how they meant to assure it.

The Appalachian Trail trail stretches from Georgia to Maine and covers some of the most breathtaking terrain in America– majestic mountains, silent forests, sparking lakes. If you’re going to take a hike, it’s probably the place to go. And Bill Bryson is surely the most entertaining guide you’ll find. He introduces us to the history and ecology of the trail and to some of the other hardy (or just foolhardy) folks he meets along the way–and a couple of bears. Already a classic, A Walk in the Woods will make you long for the great outdoors (or at least a comfortable chair to sit and read in).
