Book Description

A boat load of Cambodian refugees beaching upon a Thailand shore brings Anousak, formerly of the Khmer Rouge, to sanctuary after years of civil war and personal misery. Thinking back to his youth in Laos he reflects on his childhood with his friends Siva, who was like a brother to him; and Mekra, the young woman over whom both boys had fiercely competed for while she had tried to decide which of the two she loved most. Betrayed by his best friend and following a family tragedy, Anousak and his mother move to Cambodia to be under the care of relatives. There Anousak soon finds himself caught-up in the political turmoil which brought the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot into power, only once again to meet-up with Siva. Will their friendship mend, will they both survive the atrocities surrounding them, and will either of them reunite with Mekra now that she is no longer in either man’s life? What will the future hold for them is it true that somewhere down the gentle flowing river, ever rippling, their love will live for ever more?

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.

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

Over the last decade, Cambodia’s gross domestic product (GDP) grew at an average rate of 8.2 percent. In 2012, the economy grew by over 7 percent, and it is expected to continue to grow at a similar rate over the next two years. Cambodia, however, remains one of the poorest countries in Asia. The country is heavily reliant on foreign aid, with donor support equivalent to over half of the government’s budget. Despite strong performance in the garment, tourism, and construction/real estate sectors, Cambodia remains an agrarian country. The agriculture sector employs approximately 80 percent of the Cambodian population.

Since Cambodia became the first least-developed country (LDC) to join the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2004, trade has steadily increased.

Book Description

Over the last decade, Cambodia’s gross domestic product (GDP) grew at an average rate of 8.2 percent. In 2012, the economy grew by over 7 percent, and it is expected to continue to grow at a similar rate over the next two years. Cambodia, however, remains one of the poorest countries in Asia. The country is heavily reliant on foreign aid, with donor support equivalent to over half of the government’s budget. Despite strong performance in the garment, tourism, and construction/real estate sectors, Cambodia remains an agrarian country. The agriculture sector employs approximately 80 percent of the Cambodian population.

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.
