Historical Dictionary of Singapore
In spite of Singapore's small size, it has long had a major impact on the world because of its geographical location and its wealth. The British initially made the island a major port for the shipping of goods and later as an airline hub for the region. These factors, along with a steady government, have helped to contribute to the country's affluence. This multicultural, multiracial, and multi-religious island-nation is the envy of many countries in the world, which have tried to emulate the economic success of Singapore. The new edition of the Historical Dictionary of Singapore has been completely rewritten since the first edition was released 20 years ago. It relates the history of this country through a chronology, an introductory essay, an expansive bibliography, and over 500 cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, events, places, organizations, and other aspects of Singapore history from the earliest times to the present.

The Ned Kelly Encyclopaedia
When the Kelly Gang rode to Jerilderie in January 1879 they heard people singing songs praising their exploits. Since then historians, novelists, film directors, journalists and commentators have regularly debated the events in Northeast Victoria in the late 1870s. THE NED KELLY ENCYCLOPAEDIA brings together over 800 articles covering people, places and themes connected with Ned Kelly and the Kelly Outbreak 1878-80. The biographical entries provide detailed information on the early life of all the major people involved with the Kelly Gang, along with descriptions of their family life and what direction their careers took after the execution of Ned Kelly. Most of this information has never appeared in one volume before. This synthesis of previously published and new information and interpretations for all the major events in Ned Kelly's life illuminates many hitherto unresearched elements of the Kelly story.

Kinshasa
Reading African cities into contemporary theory—reprint of a richly illustrated reference work In their internationally acclaimed publication Kinshasa: Tales of the Invisible City, anthropologist Filip De Boeck and photographer Marie-Françoise Plissart provide a history not only of the physical and visible urban reality that Kinshasa presents today, but also of a second, invisible city as it exists in the mind and imagination of its inhabitants. They bring to light a mirroring reality lurking underneath the surface of the visible world and explore the constant transactions that take place between these two levels in Kinshasa’s urban scape. With the exhibition that accompanied the release of their Kinshasa book, the authors won a Golden Lion at the 11th International Architecture Bienniale in Venice, 2004. This beautifully illustrated publication is now again made available. Based on longstanding field research, it provides insight into local social and cultural imaginaries, and thus in the imaginative ways in which local urban subjects continue to make sense of their worlds and invent cultural strategies to cope with the breakdown of urban infrastructure.
