Sumatra Handbook
Sumatra is a natural wonderland of luxuriant forests, fast-flowing rivers, vast swamps, cool highland lakes and imposing volcanoes. It encompasses a panoply of trees, flowers, mammals, birds, reptiles and insects to satisfy the most demanding naturalist - among them the world's largest flower, the 'Rafflesia', the orang-utan, Asian elephant, Sumatran rhinoceros and tiger, the sunbear, three species of gibbon, ten species of hornbill and the (occasionally) man-eating estuarine crocodile. But the island's fascination lies in its interplay of nature and culture. Strikingly beautiful, Sumatra is also home to an array of cultures that have maintained their identity even in the face of Jakarta's modernizing tendencies
Charles Babbage
A biography of inventor and mathematician Charles Babbage.
Indonesia
It's been said a thousand times: Indonesia is an unlikely country. Of all the countries of Asia, it is the hardest to corral. There is no point in looking for a shared history prior to the colonial period, or a shared culture, or even a certain uniformity of environment. Divided between over 13,000 islands, hundreds of languages and cultures, several time zones, and spread over an expanse of sea linking Asia with Australasia, it is truly a kaleidoscopic place.

Indonesia Handbook
The second edition of this handbook explores all that the diverse country of Indonesia has to offer island by island. From Sumatra in the west through Java, Bali, Sulawesi and Nusa Tenggara to Maluku, the group of Spice Islands in the east, Indonesia spreads over 5000 kilometres of tropical seas linking Asia with Australia. The guidebook has been written by writers and travellers with extensive knowledge of the region.
Singapore Handbook
Enjoy the flavour of the East without the headache. This totally up-to-date guide gives you everything you need for a stimulating and rewarding visit to a unique corner of Southeast Asia. Extensive coverage of every aspect of Singapore's gastronomic wonderland from hawker centres to Indian, Chinese and Malay restaurants. Listings of not-to-be-missed key sights and suggested itineraries for those are stopping over for a few days. Authoritative and lively background information on the fascinating history, culture and politics.
Laos Handbook
These brand-new or newly updated guides feature the same authoritative and derailed coverage characteristic of all Footprint Handbooks. They provide travelers with the most in-depth information available about a specific country or region.
Thailand Handbook
An easy-to-use guide to Thailand including full coverage of Bangkok, the beaches and resorts of Southern Thailand and the travel opportunities in Northern Thailand. This third edition has been up-dated and revised following a four month visit to Thailand by the authors. It also focuses on how to get off the 'well-mapped' routes to the little-known regions of the country.
Laos Handbook
Laos has been effectively cut off to the casual visitor since the 1960s. Embroiled in the conflict in Vietnam, divided by civil war, and then isolated by its economic and political policies, Laos only recently began to accept the concept of independent travel. Although few make it to this land-locked corner of Asia, its Theravada Buddist culture, pristine countryside, and French influence make it one of the great treasures of the region. Laos remains a truly unique and delightful country to visit.
