The Marshall Cavendish International Wildlife Encyclopedia
A familiar format in collections serving schools and the public: 25 volumes, nearly 3,000 pages, heavily illustrated with color photos and line-drawings, range maps, and many bandw pictures. Covers all animals in articles of a few lines to a few pages. The text is simple enough for age twelve, or so. A genre that is calculated to entertain, inform, and, we hope, lead the reader to more detailed study. The bibliography offers more sophisticated books but is concentrated in v.25. The primary impression is "a picture book" with perhaps 10,000 illustrations. These are of indifferent quality: faded colors, many being fuzzy. The arrangements of the set is by common name (without reference to the L...

Driving Digital Transformation: Lessons from Building the First ASEAN Digital Bank
Traditional banks are facing unprecedented disruption from challenger banks today. So why aren’t more of them launching challenger banks of their own? Well, two high-profile examples – JP Morgan’s Finn and RBS’s Bo – were launched with much fanfare, but both shuttered after less than a year. In light of this, the success of TMRW digital bank by UOB, launched in Thailand in 2019 and Indonesia in 2020, is astonishing. Dr Dennis Khoo, who created TMRW, shares with us the thinking behind the design of this revolutionary undertaking. At every step of the way, he and his team went against established paradigms and bucked conventional wisdom to build ASEAN’s first digital bank. Filled with visionary analysis and on-the-ground guidance, Driving Digital Transformation demonstrates how this success can be replicated across all industries. For any leader or organisation starting on a major digital initiative, this book is a must-read. “What makes this playbook particularly valuable is that it is written by Dennis Khoo, one of the sharpest minds in the industry.” – Mary Huen, CEO, Standard Chartered Hong Kong
In Honour of War Heroes: Colin St Clair Oakes and the Design of Kranji War Memorial
At the end of World War II, a young British architect was appointed to design a series of cemeteries and memorials across Asia for the war dead. Colin St Clair Oakes, who had fought in the brutal Burma campaign, was the only veteran of the recent war among the five principal architects of the Imperial War Graves Commission. Completed in 1957, Kranji War Cemetery and Memorial in Singapore is a masterwork of Modernist architecture - a culmination of Oakes' experiences in war and his evolution as an architect. Richly illustrated with photographs, maps and architectural plans, and drawing on extensive archival research and interviews in Europe, Australia and Asia, this is a riveting account of a world shattered by war, and man's heroic efforts to recover, remember and rebuild.
