The Ruling Elite of Singapore

Networks of Power and Influence

By: Michael D. Barr

Michael Barr explores the complex and covert networks of power at work in one of the world's most prosperous countries - the city-state of Singapore. He argues that the contemporary networks of power are a deliberate project initiated and managed by Lee Kuan Yew - former prime minister and Singapore's 'founding father' - designed to empower himself and his family. Barr identifies the crucial institutions of power - including the country's sovereign wealth funds, and the government-linked companies - together with five critical features that form the key to understanding the nature of the networks. He provides an assessment of possible shifts of power within the elite in the wake of Lee Kuan Yew's son, Lee Hsien Loong, assuming power, and considers the possibility of a more fundamental democratic shift in Singapore's political system.

Alternative Food Networks

Knowledge, Practice, and Politics

By: David Goodman,E. Melanie DuPuis,Michael K. Goodman

This timely book provides a critical review of the growth of alternative food networks and their struggle to defend their ethical and aesthetic values against the standardising pressures of the corporate mainstream with their "placeless and nameless" global supply networks. It explores how these alternative movements are "making a difference" and their possible role as fears of global climate change and food insecurity continue to intensify.

English Language Pedagogies for a Northeast Asian Context

Developing and Contextually Framing the Transition Theory

By: Michael Hadzantonis

This book investigates, from a sociocultural, linguistic, and pedagogical perspective, the conceptual and pragmatic frameworks that characterize secondary language learning in a Northeast Asian context. Hadzantonis contextualizes these salient domains through an engagement with social and cultural themes such as the familial, political, as well as cultural commodities and socioeducational structures. In this way, the text employs tools such as transnational theory and performativity and develops a model that contributes to the resolution of one of the greatest economic issues of the time, that of ineffective secondary language learning.

Computer Simulation of Liquids

By: Michael P. Allen,Dominic J. Tildesley

This book provides a practical guide to molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation techniques used in the modelling of simple and complex liquids. Computer simulation is an essential tool in studying the chemistry and physics of condensed matter, complementing and reinforcing both experiment and theory. Simulations provide detailed information about structure and dynamics, essential to understand the many fluid systems that play a key role in our daily lives: polymers, gels, colloidal suspensions, liquid crystals, biological membranes, and glasses. The second edition of this pioneering book aims to explain how simulation programs work, how to use them, and how to interpret the results, with examples of the latest research in this rapidly evolving field. Accompanying programs in Fortran and Python provide practical, hands-on, illustrations of the ideas in the text.

Tales of Trail Tripping

Challenges of Living With CMT

By: Michael O'Neal

Realizing his affliction would worsen and eventually cripple him, O’Neal packed as much physical activity and adreno outings into his early adult life as time and his condition allowed. His adventures took him from 300 feet down into the earth to 12,000 feet above it. He hiked hundreds of miles on rugged trails, spent hours crawling through caves, bounced in rafts over class IV+ rapids, and fell from 10,000 feet skydiving. CMT (Charcot-Marie-Tooth) made him proficient at crawling, sitting, and falling. Trails is an entertaining and uplifting account of the adverse and diverse treks O’Neal experienced in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. Into his 30’s CMT disease was beginning to advance the atrophy in his lower legs, making backpacking more difficult. Rather than pulling the plug, CMT motivated O’Neal to stumble miles through the mountains for years. Knowing his hiking days were numbered increased his appreciation for the minimized ability he still possessed. Accompanied on all trips by an assortment of close, trusted friends, the conversations shared and the constant bantering between them makes for many laugh-out-loud moments and lends respect to all who face their own adversities with humor, self-deprecation, and an overall positivity that inspires. It’s not what life gives you; it’s what you do with it. About the Author After spending the first half of his life living in the Central Valley of California, O’Neal moved his family to the Seatle area where he taught History from 1991-2008. In 2002 he built the log home where he and Lisha live with their dog Taffy. Although CMT now prevents him from hiking, O’Neal now gets his mountain fix in his own front yard among giant cedar and Douglas fir trees bald eagles soar over. He spends many of his Settle rainy days writing and is the author of travel stories as well as the popular murder mystery, Of All the Animals.

Clouds of Glory

The Life and Legend of Robert E. Lee

By: Michael Korda

New York Times Bestseller "Lively, approachable, and captivating. Like Lee himself, everything about Clouds of Glory is on a grand scale." —Boston Globe Michael Korda, the acclaimed biographer of Ulysses S. Grant and the bestsellers Ike and Hero, offers a brilliant, balanced, single-volume biography of Robert E. Lee, the first major study in a generation Korda paints a vivid and admiring portrait of Lee as a general and a devoted family man who, though he disliked slavery and was not in favor of secession, turned down command of the Union army in 1861 because he could not "draw his sword" against his own children, his neighbors, and his beloved Virginia. He was surely America's preeminent military leader, as calm, dignified, and commanding a presence in defeat as he was in victory. Lee's reputation has only grown in the 150 years since the Civil War, and Korda covers in groundbreaking detail all of Lee's battles and traces the making of a great man's undeniable reputation on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line, positioning him finally as the symbolic martyr-hero of the Southern Cause. Clouds of Glory features dozens of stunning illustrations, some never before seen, including eight pages of color images, sixteen pages of black-and-white images, and nearly fifty battle maps.

Consuming Passions

A Food-Obsessed Life

By: Michael Lee West

Consuming Passions is Michael Lee West's delightfully quirky memoir of an adventurous life centered around food and family—the story of how she went from non-cook to gourmet of words and victuals by watching a multitude of relatives squabble, prepare sumptuous repasts, and carry on honored traditions. Laced with delicious secret recipes passed from generation to generation, West's irresistible chronicle recalls good times and wild times—mothers swinging from chandeliers, elderly aunts brewing up love potions, a South American nymphomaniac stirring up trouble at a Louisiana barbeque joint, and the spooky hauntings of a cabbage-eating ghost—all in the pursuit of good dining. Thoroughly entertaining, alive with West's distinctive humor and sharp, irrepressible insight, here are incomparable American kitchen tales as warm and tasty as freshly baked bread.
