Paperback. Condición: New. The story of modern Singapore as told through its living heritage is encapsulated in this handsome book, published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Singapore's founding as a city-state.

Historic personages, monuments, architecture and the arts, cultures and traditions, and flora and fauna are all covered in their many facets.

Paperback. Condición: Fair. Celebrating a "golden age" of travel, this new book retraces the steps of a Grand Tour of South East Asia from the turn of the 20th century to the present day.
