Mr Tan Chin Tiong (Business \u201970) shares an insider account of a pivotal period in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), which shaped it into one of Singapore\u2019s core institutions today, in A Matter of Duty: A Memoir of My Time in the Singapore Armed Forces (1967-1982)<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>

Over his 15 years in the SAF, Mr Tan rose to become the Commanding Officer of the Officer Cadet School in SAFTI and Head of the Training Department, before serving as Deputy Chief of the General Staff. He later held Permanent Secretary appointments in the Ministries of Home Affairs and Foreign Affairs, before serving as Singapore\u2019s Ambassador to Japan and Director of the ISEAS \u2013 Yusof Ishak Institute.<\/p>

The memoir provides fresh insights into the development of the SAF between the late 1960s and the early 1980s under the ministerial leadership of fellow alumnus Dr Goh Keng Swee (DipArts ’39). It highlights the unique civil\u2013military relationship during a time when the SAF comprised only two infantry battalions. Readers with an interest in Singapore\u2019s history, military development, or leadership will find the memoir especially engaging.<\/p>

Innovation and China’s Global Emergence<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

China is working hard to shift to an economydriven by innovation and prodctivity growth.The degree of scrutiny on the manner and means of transition will likewise be intense, particularly given the rise of techno-nationalism and a changing strategic calculus around the world. China is attempting to balance the reliance on overseas sources of technology that has served it so well, with efforts to strengthen purely domestic innovation capabilities,\u00a0not\u00a0least as a hedge against the risks\u00a0of a US-led “decoupling”.<\/p>

In these circumstances, a better understanding of the many different forces of change within China \u2014 and the way it responds to outside changes \u2014 is essential. The evolution of China\u2019s innovation economy will be one of the key economic stories of the early 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century, and the world will need China as a source of innovation in the decades ahead. The aim of this book is to help build a better framework for policymakers overseas and in China to find a new equilibrium in negotiating the terms of this\u00a0engagement.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>

Wanderlust: The Amazing Ida\u00a0Pfeiffer, the First Female Tourist <\/em><\/strong>is authored by Mr John van Wyhe, a historian of science and one of the world\u2019s leading experts on Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. He is a senior lecturer in the Department of Biological Sciences and a Fellow of Tembusu College, National University of Singapore.<\/p>

Wanderlust<\/em>\u00a0tells the true story of Ida Pfeiffer (1797\u20131858), one of the most remarkable female travellers who ever lived. It is the story of a stubborn tomboy, of lovers torn apart, and a miserable housewife who decides to follow her dreams despite the strong disapproval of society. At a time when it was considered utterly impossible, Pfeiffer set off, alone, to travel the world. She displayed incredible courage, endurance and perseverance. Along the way, she survived storms at sea, parched deserts, plague, malaria, drowning, earthquakes, robbers, murderers, headhunters and cannibals. She became the first woman to circle the globe alone, and then the first to do so twice\u2014and she was the first budget traveller to boot. As a result of her incredible exploits and her bestselling travel books, Pfeiffer became one of the most famous women in the world. Hers is a tale that culminates in spies, intrigue, a botched revolution and a remarkable career cut tragically short by one voyage too many.\u00a0<\/p>

The Poverty Line<\/em><\/strong> is authored by Mr Stefen Chow (Engineering \u201903), an award-winning photographer, and economist Ms Lin Huiyi (Arts & Social Sciences \u201903), with contributions by Armida Salsiah Alisjahbana, Andrea Brandolini, Lucas Chancel and John Micklewright.<\/p>

The book uses food to examine the daily choices people face living at the poverty line. Chow and Lin<\/p>

travelled 200,000 kilometres across six continents and documented poverty in 36 countries and territories. The couple studied official and proxy definitions of the poverty line in each country, creating a growing conversation that questions the understanding of poverty and inequality.\u00a0<\/p>

Traversing cultures and economic systems, the book presents objective, non-emotional observations of our own circumstances, framed against the fragile balance of social structures, growth and divide in an entangled, globalised world.\u00a0<\/p>

Las Vegas in Singapore<\/em><\/strong>,the first publication of Dr Lee Kah-Wee (Design and Environment \u201907),, looks at the collision of the histories of Singapore and Las Vegas in the form of Marina Bay Sands, one of Singapore\u2019s two Integrated Resorts. Dr\u00a0Lee argues that the historical project of the control of vice is also about the control of space and capital. The result is an uneven landscape where the legal and moral status of gambling is contingent on where it is located. As the current wave of casino expansion spreads across Asia, he warns that these developments should not be seen as liberalisation but instead as a continuation of the project of concentrating power by modern states and\u00a0corporations.<\/p>
