Book Description
From the early Christian era in Europe, Southeast Asia was known as the "Land of Gold." It is a region blessed with a rich diversity of cultures, peoples, and scenery. A Traveller's History of Southeast Asia is a lucid and concise introduction to the histories of the modern states of Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Singapore, Brunei, and East Timor, providing an essential guide for both tourists and the general reader. It spans the history of the region from "Java Man" some one million years ago to the development of the high-tech, skyscraper cities of the new millennium.Following chapters on the physical environment and the earliest human history of Southeast Asia, the authors carry the reader through the classical kingdoms that produced such architectural marvels as Borobudur in Java and Angkor Wat in Cambodia. The book further explores Southeast Asia's growing trade with the outside world from 1500 culminating in colonization by the European imperial powers in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
The struggles for independence in the last century-which made the modern nations of the region-are discussed in detail, as are the dramatic and tragic events of the post-independence era such as the Vietnam War and the Cambodia genocide. The remarkable successes and failings of the region's recent economic development are highlighted in the final chapter. Above all, A Traveller's History of Southeast Asia shows how the region's soul has been preserved against tremendous external pressures.

A Traveller's History of Southeast Asia.......2003-08-06
In terms of coverage, the "Traveller's History of Southeast Asia" includes most of mainland and island Southeast Asia, with most attention being paid to Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Surprisingly, the Philippines and Burma are not included. I find the latter omission particularly eccentric, given the importance of the monuments at Pagan, and the contention between Burma and Thailand during much of the common period.
The book's authors do a fine job of explaining the causes and effects of major trends in the history of Southeast Asia that begin with the era of Western exploration: patterns of colonialism, the impact of trade and migration, Islam, communism, World War I and II, the Vietnam War, nationalism, the regional consolidation into nation-states, political independence, and recent developments (as of 2001). I was impressed by the authors' even-handedness in describing these often contentious events. Their analysis is clear and knowledgeable, and they have no political axes to grind.
In summary, "A Traveller's History of Southeast Asia" is a good read, and a useful resource, for all who are interested in the post-1500 history of this fascinating and diverse region.
A quick read and a great way to get up to speed on SE Asia.......2003-06-20

The author of these fascinating reminiscences spent thirty-six years in Siam and Anglo-Siamese life. Coming to Bangkok in 1896 as an entrepreneur and at the age of eighteen, Wood began his career in the Consular Service, ultimately serving as His Majesty's Consul General in Chiengmai by 1932. These charming glimpses into Siamese life from an English perspective are unique and a must for anyone interested in Thailand and its history.

Book Description
Protected by jungle-covered mountain ranges, the land ruled by the Burmese Court was for a long time jealously guarded by kings who chose to remain aloof from the outside world. With the coming of the Age of Steam, access to the sequested kingdom was much easier, and when it fell prey to British imperialism the country was 'opened up'. Nevertheless, soon after becoming an independent republic the country once more pursued a policy of limited foreign contact. One consequence of such geographical and cultural isolation is that most outsiders are uninformed about the country now known as Myanmar. This anthology contains sequences of fascinating information covering almost four centuries of Burmese history and drawn from travellers' accounts, many of them from rare documents or inaccessible books.

Book Description
The Malay Archipelago is perhaps the most celebrated of all writings on Indonesia. Attracting huge public interest at the time of publication, this two-part work ranks with the nineteenth century's most important travel writing and Wallace's name continues to be inextricably linked to the area.
Wallace was best known for his discovery and description of the faunal discontinuity that now bears his name, "Wallace's Line," extending between the islands of Bali and Lombok and Borneo and Sulawesi, described here in The Malay Archipelago. This led to his theory of natural selection, which was presented to the Linnaean Society in 1858.

Book Description
For students ages eight to fourteen, the MY AMERICAN JOURNEY series presents a true history of the United States with a cleverly helpful dose of fiction.Each of these first four books (in a projected series of ten) recounts highlights from the life of a true American founder or social pioneer. But to engage a studentÂ's interest from page one, a fictional narrator--usually a school-age person who somehow knew the main hero--tells the story with youthful vigor.
Adding to Deborah Hedstrom-PageÂ's unique lessons are plentiful illustrations from Sergio Martinez (Max LucadoÂ's You Are Special). Each book also contains study questions for every chapter and other educational helps.
George Washington (1732-1799) was an American Revolutionary War hero and the first president of the United States. Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was the sixteenth president of the United
