Countries covered include India, China, South Korea, Singapore, Japan and the East Asian region.
ASEAN and Korea
Trade and investment linkages between Northeast and Southeast Asia have been widening and deepening over the last two decades, helping to integrate the East Asian and Asian Pacific regions. More recently, security linkages have been developing. Much of the scholarly attention has understandably focused on the role of Japan in this integration. Yet the role of the Northeast Asian NIEs since the 1980s has become increasingly important.In this volume scholars from Korea and the ASEAN countries look at the issues arising from trade and investment interactions between Korea and the ASEAN region which have grown enormously over the past decade.

The Prophecies
The Prophecies is a collection of prophecies by French physician Nostradamus. The book begins with a preface, in the form of a message to his son César, followed by the Centuries themselves. The predictions do not follow chronological coherence and were written combining French, Greek, Latin and Occitan. It is believed that it contains anagrams, mythological and astrological references, in a subjective language that makes comprehension difficult. Some scholars claim that this was a resource used by Nostradamus to evade the Holy Inquisition, for fear of being persecuted for heresy.
What Freedom Means to Me
General Jones teaches Claire and Robbie that with freedom comes responsibility.
Yvain
The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.
Witches All
This magical introduction to witchcraft features a glossary of witches' terms, a collection of original spells from a 19th-century book of shadows, an occult alphabet, festival recipes, astrological lore and much more.
The Indo-Pacific: Trump, China, and the New Struggle for Global Mastery
This book places the presidency of Donald Trump as well as the brewing Sino-American Cold War within the broader historical context of American hegemony in Asia, which traces its roots to Alfred Thayer Mahan’s call for a naval build up in the Pacific, the subsequent colonization of the Philippines and, ultimately, reaching its apotheosis after the defeat of Imperial Japan in the Second World War. The book, drawing on visits from Cairo to California and Perth to Pyongyang as well as interviews and exchanges with heads of state and senior officials from across the Indo-Pacific, provides an overview of the arc of American primacy in the region for scholars, journalists, and concerned citizens.
Pakistan, the Formative Phase, 1857-1948
Sir Syed Ahmed Khan's remarkable achievements, the emergence of the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League, the partition of Bengal, the granting of separate electorates, the Khilafat Movement, and the last minute manoeuvrings of both sides as the prospect of Independence drew nearer, are all excellently told. Impacting on this entire complex set of events, for better or worse, is the policy of the British Government.
