Book Description

Charged with constructing a great bridge, Frenchman Claude Rollin travels to Cambodia with his wife Raymonde, who reluctantly sacrifices her high-society Parisian life. She adapts poorly, suffering from homesickness, fever and depression, colored by an innate fear of the local people. Claude, however, gradually embraces the natural beauty, values and purity of the gentle kingdom. Then he meets Kamlang, a native girl with whom he forges "a relationship unlike any he had ever imagined, or could imagine, while still bound by his Western values." His decisions result in anguish, betrayal, violence and-ultimately-epiphany. George Groslier-one of the greatest witnesses of colonial Cambodia-won the 1929 Grand Prix de Littérature Coloniale for his tour de force novel, presented here in English for the first time, with the complete original French text. "I will settle in the loveliest places," proclaims the hero, late in the novel. This is the dream that Groslier, with his painterly talent and powerful, delicate pen, expresses so well, imbuing these places with some of the deepest significance to be found in the colonial period... Rejoice, dear reader, for you too can now discover these places, forever vanished yet eternally alive. - Professor Henri Copin, Preface

Book Description

Development at Work represents original research into how organizing and managing practices in a development program emerged during the last years of the civil war in Cambodia. The author visited the international development organisation's Cambodia program first in 1995 and returned again in 1997 and 1998, and based on an original and unorthodox application of both ethnographic and sociological methodologies, he provides a compelling account of how people organize themselves to deliver development results. The research was done between Princeton University and the world's top 3 Business School, Copenhagen Business School. It was granted the doctoral degree at the latter and endorsed by professors Erik Maaloe, Hans Gullestrup and Flemming Agersnap. The sociology being developed throughout the narrative draws upon a series of prominent anthropologists, sociologists and management theorists, including Pierre Bourdieu, Clifford Geertz, and Peter Berger, but while standing on the shoulders of these giants, it emerges in its own right and establishes itself as an original contribution to our way of understanding organizing and managing practices in international development cooperation. The author has subsequently established himself as a manager and leading voice of good and strategic management practices and business development in the international development community, and the sociological understanding developed in Development at Work has served as the basis for strategies of several international NGOs.

Book Description

Cambodia: a Journey through the Land of the Khmer throws the doors to this small Southeast Asian kingdom wide open and invites both visitors and armchair travelers on a trip through the history and landscape of Cambodia while introducing the country s people, their unique and resilient culture and colorful festivals. Cambodia s temples are legendary the Angkor Empire ruled much of Southeast Asia from the 10th to the 15th century and its ancient monuments left to us today are a sublime dream in stone, a Herculean effort in craftsmanship and a tour de force of the imagination. From the world famous Angkor Wat, the largest religious building in the world, to the gigantic capital city of Angkor Thom and to lesser known ruins of Beng Melea and Ko Ker, hidden deep in the Cambodian jungle, acclaimed Lonely Planet photographer Kraig Lieb has scoured Cambodia s architectural treasures for more than twenty years to cover all aspects of one of Asia s greatest civilizations and most intensely productive cultures. But there s more to Cambodia: a Journey through the Land of the Khmer than architectural splendour. The book is also a journey through the kingdom s countryside which is almost as dreamlike as its monuments traditional farm and river life carries on as it has done for hundreds of years, people live by the rhythms of nature and season. Cambodia s smaller cities and towns as well as its beaches, stretching from Thailand in the West to Vietnam in the East, have been barely discovered. Beyond the temples, Kraig Lieb takes us on a visual journey to the most attractive corners of Cambodia s capital Phnom Penh, called the Pearl of Asia by the French - a bustling, attractive city crammed with colonial and modernist architecture, busy temples and thriving street markets. Cambodia: a Journey through the Land of the Khmer brings the kingdom to life, presenting festivals and lively street scenes, sumptuous rural vistas and a close look into the country s tragic recent history. Asia-based writer Tom Vater wrote an insightful text to accompany the images.

Book Description

A groundbreaking survey of the Buddhist architecture of Southeast Asia, abundantly illustrated with new color photography and 3-D renderings

Over the course of its 2,500-year history, Buddhism has found expression in countless architectural forms, from the great monastic complexes of ancient India to the fortified dzongs of Bhutan, the rock-carved temple grottoes of China, the wooden shrines of Japan, and the colorful wats of Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand. Architecture of the Buddhist World, a projected six-volume series by the noted architect and scholar Vikram Lall, represents a new multidisciplinary approach to this fascinating subject, showing how Buddhist thought and ritual have interacted with local traditions across the Asian continent to produce masterpieces of religious architecture.

The first volume in the series, The Golden Lands, is devoted to Southeast Asia, home to many of the most spectacular Buddhist monuments. Following a general introduction to the early history of Buddhism and its most characteristic architectural forms (the stupa, the temple, and the monastery), Lall examines the Buddhist architecture of Myanmar, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos in turn. For each country, he provides both a historical overview and case studies of noteworthy structures. Lall’s concise and accessible text is illustrated throughout with new color photography, as well as 3-D architectural renderings that make even the most complex structures easily comprehensible.

The monuments that Lall considers in The Golden Lands range from the modest Bupaya stupa, constructed in Bagan, Myanmar, in the third century AD, to the vast complex of Borobudur in Central Java, the world’s largest Buddhist monument; his achievement is to place them all within a single panorama of history, religion, and artistic innovation.

Book Description

Cambodia is poised to join a new generation of Asian frontier economies transitioning from low-income to emerging-market. But the path to greater and more shared prosperity requires a solid foundation of sound macroeconomic policies, enabling new growth drivers, tackling a highly dollarized and fragmented financial system, and creating more fiscal policy space to help meet Cambodia's vast development needs. This book first takes a closer look at the key economic challenges Cambodia faces at the current juncture, highlighting Cambodia's structural and financial constraints to growth as well as shifting vulnerabilities as Asia rebalances. It then lays out how a strategy of fiscal and financial sector policies, from creating a fairer and more buoyant tax system to modernizing financial instruments, markets and supervision, can help mobilize the resources and tools needed for one of Asia's youngest and fastest-growing populations to enjoy more self-sustaining and inclusive growth.

Book Description

Cambodia, a country of immense natural beauty, stunning historical heritage, yet scarred by the most brutal and insane suffering imposed upon it by one of its own people in the recent past.

The people of Cambodia are as friendly and warm as the sunshine that so readily shines on the million rice paddies but can also make the capital Phnom Penh a veritable dustbowl outside of the rainy season. Take your time to explore this gem of a country, enjoy the myriad of markets, the food stalls and restaurants. Make sure to check the weather patterns before planning a visit there though - in the rainy season you'll need more than sturdy boots to cope with the copious quantity of water that regularly falls from the sky.

It's possible to stay in the most modern accommodation and miss the feel of the place, in which case you've not been to the Cambodia that I have had the fortune to visit.

It's possible to stay in the most modern accommodation and miss the feel of the place, in which case you've not been to the Cambodia that I have had the fortune to visit.

In the Shadow of Angkor: Unknown Temples of Ancient Cambodia [Paperback]

In the Shadow of Angkor: Unknown Temples of Ancient Cambodia [Paperback]

In the Shadow of Angkor: Unknown Temples of Ancient Cambodia [Paperback]

Author: George Groslier, Kent Davis (Editor), Pedro Rodriguez (Translator) Publisher: DatASIA, Inc. Publishing Date: 2014 Paperback: 188 pages Language: English ISBN-10: 1934431907 ISBN-13: 978-1934431900 Format: Paperback Product Dimensions: 9.6 x 6.7 x 0.4 inches Shipping Weight: 11.4 ounces Buy at Amazon

Book Description

On June 6, 1913, George Groslier, a twenty-six year old French explorer, set out with a small group of native porters on a six-month trek in the Cambodian wilderness. A millennium earlier, the Khmer empire had ruled the entire region. In the 15th century, however, the kingdom mysteriously collapsed, with dense jungle quickly covering its fabulous temples. The French government charged Groslier with documenting the most remote edifices of the Khmer legacy - among them Preah Vihear, Wat Phu, Beng Melea and Banteay Chhmar - sites that remain isolated even a century later. This modern edition - enhanced with 75 period illustrations and detailed appendices - offers readers the first English translation of the dangers, discoveries and people encountered on his solitary adventure. Groslier's impressions and insights still fascinate those who, even today, seek answers in the ancient shrines of Cambodia. "What we find in the shadow of Angkor is not merely an extraordinary example of a dead civilization... but a dead civilization whose torches have been kept alight and shine on." George Groslier - Tonle Repou, July 12, 1913 "The re-publication of Groslier's book is a cause for celebration. While much interest stems from descriptions of these temples as he saw them in 1913 - when they were indeed virtually unknown to more than a few western scholars - there is much more to be found in this book of lyrical, and at times poetic, writing." Milton Osborne - Foreword

Book Description

6630 answers to 3319 questions about 16 countries in Asia, by 103 local researchers interviewing over 300 experts, then compiled by 22 writers and 17 editors into this massive 4448-page ebook: “Asia 2014” — the ultimate guide to starting a business in Asia.

Each question is answered by each of the 16 countries in alphabetical order: Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.

The systematic way it was organized makes it incredibly easy to use when comparing opportunities in different countries, side-by-side. So pick a topic of interest, then read each country's approach.

For example:

• Which country is most open to innovative ideas?
• Which country has the most opportunity for you right now?
• Which is the best for incorporating your business?
• Which is the best for building a team of programmers?
• Which have a fast and driven work culture? Which are more laid-back?
• With which country will your business idea be most culturally aligned, and likely to thrive?
• Which has the best tax incentives and grants for startups?
• Which country is most welcoming to foreigners?
• Which country has the culture and values that appeal to you for living?

The answers are usually not what you'd expect. The real goal of these books is deep cultural insight, not just surface bullet-point answers. At over 4400 pages, obviously you'll get in-depth insights for each country, far beyond the usual “Doing Business In…” pamphlet.

In fact, this one book contains the contents of each of our 16 in-depth country guides, but just rearranged in this side-by-side per-question order for easy comparison.

So when you buy “Asia 2014” and register your purchase at WoodEgg.com, we give you each of the 16 country guides for free — (a $160 value) — in case you’d like to read about only one country, straight through. We also give you full access to all the raw research that went into creating this guide.
