Описание:

This book aims to celebrate the many contributions of Professor Tommy Koh as a Singaporean diplomat, public intellectual and social changemaker.

It is an account of the ideas and ideals of an extraordinary Singaporean public servant who was not only born with the talent and ability to traverse many areas of society, but one who, when given the opportunity, had the drive and ambition to make the most of it to create a better world for Singaporeans and the global community.

Experts in the various fields of endeavour and people who have worked with him examine his significant contributions in essays that are organised in four main sections: Diplomacy and International Relations; Arts, Culture and Heritage; Progressive Society; International Law; and a fifth section that features tributes contributed by his colleagues and former classmates.

Set in the context of Singapore -- a nation known for its socio-economic progress, its ability to punch above its own weight in international relations, as well as its increasing appreciation for heritage, the arts, and sustainable development -- this book illustrates the power of the individual and sense of agency that can create the systems and structures to achieve all those things. The story of Professor Tommy Koh as captured in this book should energise other change agents to go out and create the progressive, inclusive and sustainable world they want.

An inspirational collection for general readers, this book reflects the spirit of Singapore's pioneer generation whose determination and tenacity turned the nation into the modern-day miracle that Singapore is today.

Описание: Considers the hidden dialogue of generations, with the secret entanglement of different ages. It is indeed a playful cycle, whose playfulness, and even parody, becomes apparent to the beholder literate in Jewish memory and religious imagination. Bak`s images are replete with allusions, citations, intimate references, playing with themes that are as intuitive as they are rooted in Jewish tradition.

Описание: A FictionDiscover an ancient journey, four thousand years agoDaniel, almost sixteen, is about to begin his first adventure. A magical journey through the ancient land of Edin and the love and loss of youth and innocence.His first journey is not what he expected.Print Version: 131000 words approxDaniel of Susa, almost sixteen, is about to begin his first adventure - the road to Harran, to the City of Caravans, the city of the God Sin. As Daniel steps into his future, his journey transforms into a pursuit, a scattering of lies, and a race to reach safety. Dark forces are searching the roads determined to destroy the threat to kings and realms as foretold by the stars. But why must Daniel conceal himself? Why would they pursue him? And is there a traitor amongst those he considered his friends? By the time the truth is revealed, Daniel is already heading directly into the mouth of the very evil that he is hiding from, and because of a promise, there is no turning back.'AN EPIC...A PAGE TURNER...STUNNING' RUBY ISMAIL'I was astonished and moved by the care, consideration and sensitivity the characters show to one another in this novel. Most authors set up lots of tensions between their characters to add more drama, but these people really value their relationships and get a huge amount from them. This book seems infused with a spirit of humanity and compassion which even the animals in it share.Although it's set in the distant past, it feels very direct and accessible - atmospheric and evocative without being weighed down by self-conscious historical detail and alienating archaic language.I'd recommend this to anyone who likes Paulo Coelho.' London Reader'A beautifully narrated journey of friendship courage and strength of human spirit... Daniel's trust in himself and his friends allows him to overcome all obstacles. It is a moving and heart warming tale... The simplicity and honesty of the book is what keeps you turning page after page; a truly worthwhile read.' Shamim Moosa'I love the Story...'

Описание: In 1944, the thirteen-year old author has to flee her home in East Prussia and embark on a horrific trek to the West, avoiding the Red Army's ethnic cleansing. She leaves behind many happy memories, but also a best friend: her cousin Jutta, caught behind the Iron Curtain. The letters they exchange at that time, amplified by postwar comments, cast light on the experience of ordinary German farmers caught up in the horrendous circumstances and aftermath of the Second World War's Eastern Front. Fifty years later, the advent of perestroika allows Marlene and Jutta to meet again, after a lifetime of growing up under diametrically opposed societies, and Marlene revisits her childhood home. The book closes with a final chapter revealing what she finds. Despite depicting the same time and circumstances as "Reflections in an Oval Mirror", an account written by Marlene's elder sister, this work stands in stark contrast partly owing to the age gap between the two girls, but above all because of their dramatically different characters.
