Silk Silver Opium

The Trade with China that Changed History

Michael Pembroke

16 October 2025 | Paperback

£16.99 | 9781761451980

384 Pages | 234 x 153 mm

Colour section 2 x 8pp

Silk Silver Opium tells not only the stories of silk and tea, porcelain, silver and opium, missionaries, mercenaries and trade, but also what became inevitable – war and humiliation.

Much about China’s modern relationship with the West is the product of its past inter-reactions, conflicts, victories and humiliations. The South China Sea was the place from where the ultimately destructive European sailing ships arrived. The Ryukyu Island chain was the place from where marauding Japanese pirates preyed mercilessly on China’s east coast ports. Taiwan was where anti-Qing rebels established a stronghold in the seventeenth century. The story of imperial China’s trading relationship with the West is a powerful tale, with clear implications for the future.

Michael Pembroke was a Supreme Court Judge in Sydney, Australia, before turning his hand to writing. His books include Arthur Phillip (2013), which was short-listed for the Prime Minister’s Literary Awards; Korea (2018), short-listed for the Queensland Literary Awards and the NSW Premier’s History Awards; and Play By the Rules (2020), published in the United States as America in Retreat. His books have received praise from Simon Winchester, Noam Chomsky and A.C. Grayling. He has written for Time Magazine, Al Jazeera, and the South China Morning Post.

Michael illuminates the reasons China distrusts the west and is unlikely to change that view

Explains how the West’s trading relationship with China started in well but ended in tears and bloodshed. This is a fascinating take on history with an eye on current events in trade with China and the potential for conflict.

Contours dives deep into the art and science of golf courses.

Modern courses are built on the shoulders of the golf course design giants of the 1920s and current golf course designers (Tom Doak, Bill Coore and others) speak reverentially about these golden age architects, and still practice their methods today. Contours compares and contrast modern courses with those of this golden age, visiting and exploring the world's greatest courses.

Contours delves deep into golf course architecture, exploring the minds behind the designs, the processes that bring courses to life, and the elements that make some destinations truly special. From the sand-belt of Melbourne to the heathlands of London, from the rugged coastlines of Oregon to the manicured perfection of Augusta National, this book takes readers on a global journey through golf's most significant landscapes.

William Watt is a freelance photographer, writer and director based in Melbourne, Australia. In 2016 William co-founded Caddie Magazine, combining his photography and design skills with a strong passion for the game of golf. He has recently created Contours, a digital golf space.

Golf has changed radically in recent years and this book reflects on how golf courses now present amazing challenges.

Golf courses are featured from across the globe including The London Heathlands, Whalsay Golf Club on the Shetland Islands, Ban Rakat Club in Thailand and Sand Hills in the US.

Stunning photography that brings every course visually to life.

Kids LOVE bugs, with The Big Book of Bugs (Thames & Hudson, 33k UK life) experiencing great success in a contemporary market.

Aidan Doyle has been shortlisted for previous works in the World Fantasy Awards, the Aurealis Awards, the Ditmar Awards and the XYZZY awards.
