Описание: Founded in the fifteenth century, planned and rebuilt by the French, and then modernized and expanded in the era after independence, the city of Phnom Penh displays a diverse mix of styles. Here, early religious and vernacular buildings, the glittering structures of the Royal Palace, and colonial buildings of the French Protectorate (1863-1953) coexist with the gems of the 'New Khmer Architecture' of the 1960s. After the destructive period under the Khmer Rouge, the city went through a rebirth. It has seen rapid modernization and economic development in recent years, and its urban landscape is transforming at a breathtaking pace. This guide offers a comprehensive overview of Phnom Penh's built heritage, highlighting its -history and architectural layers. In addition to covering better-known masterpieces, it also takes readers through the city's 'everyday architecture', revealing places off the beaten track. Illustrated with contemporary photographs and historical images, the book presents more than 140 works that illuminate the four major phases of development in the city's ever-changing urban history. It thus makes an important contribution to current debates on heritage preservation in the booming metropolis. Interviews with local experts present their individual perspectives on the city and place the buildings in a broader context.

Описание: In Return Engagements artist and critic Vi?t Lê examines contemporary art in Cambodia and Vi?t Nam to rethink the entwinement of militarization, trauma, diaspora, and modernity in Southeast Asian art. Highlighting artists tied to Phnom Penh and Sài Gòn and drawing on a range of visual art as well as documentary and experimental films, Lê points out that artists of Southeast Asian descent are often expected to address the twin traumas of armed conflict and modernization, and shows how desirable art on these themes is on international art markets. As the global art market fetishizes trauma and violence, artists strategically align their work with those tropes in ways that Lê suggests allow them to reinvent such aesthetics and discursive spaces. By returning to and refashioning these themes, artists such as Tiffany Chung, Rithy Panh, and Sopheap Pich challenge categorizations of “diasporic” and “local” by situating themselves as insiders and outsiders relative to Cambodia and Vi?t Nam. By doing so, they disrupt dominant understandings of place, time, and belonging in contemporary art.

Автор: Kathryn Furlong Название: Leaky Governance: Alternative Service Delivery and the Myth of Water Utility Independence ISBN: 0774831499 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780774831499 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 30050.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: Municipalities face important water supply challenges. One response has been to render utilities independent from municipal government through alternative service delivery (ASD). For its proponents, ASD provides needed autonomy from municipal government; for its detractors, it is privatization under another name. Using Ontario as a case study, Kathryn Furlong paints a complex picture of both ASD and municipal government. Examining organizational models for water supply and how they are affected by shifting governance and institutional environments, she reveals water management and municipal governance to be deeply interdependent and contends that both must be strengthened to meet contemporary water supply needs.
Everyone has faced the problem of wanting to give up, especially during times of hardship. I will show you how to overcome this problem by staying persistent and keeping an open heart. Growing up fatherless in poverty-stricken Cambodia, as a child I was responsible for gathering my own food. During my adolescence, life wasn't any easier and I suffered through physical and emotional abuse by the person I loved and respected the most, my mother.
Following that trauma, I then experienced the horror of being raped, and when I thought I'd overcome that nightmare, my boss then sold me as part of the sex slave trade. Rather than cave within my environment, I had realistic optimism that everything I dreamed of was possible. WIthin that framework of optimism, I learned English, made it to America, attained an education, and even fell in love, before finally starting a successful business in Beverly Hills, California.
After reading Life Between Two Worlds, I promise you will be able to overcome adversity and conquer your goals. You will then take the word impossible, and remove it from your vocabulary, replacing it with the words, "I can, I will, and I did." Don't wait, or the thought of giving up may very well defeat you. Equip yourself now with the inspiration found in these pages so that you can persevere through adversity and find success.
My life story provides many lessons including the importance of being appreciative, why you should never waste what you can share, the power of forgiveness, and how to turn tragedy into triumph.
