With stunning photographs and insightful commentary this travel
pictorial and Singapore travel guide captures the dynamism of a
remarkable Pacific nation. In just a few short decades, Singapore
has transformed itself from a tiny island off the coast of mainland
Asia into a global superpower in banking, IT, education, biotech,
transportation and many other fields. The fascinating story of how
this tiny city-state which has no hinterland, no natural resources,
and a relatively small population has achieved success is told in
this book. Singapore's history as a British colonial port, its
dynamic multi-ethnic population, and its innovative governmental
and social structures, are a part of the story. But there are
others as well. How Singapore became a regional hub for finance,
shipping and air travel, and now also for the arts, sport and
leisure--are all showcased in dynamic detail, with over 300
full-color photographs to illustrate graphically how this small
island functions like a well-tuned racing machine. Author Kim
Inglis, a journalist, and long-time local resident, leads the
reader on a series of explorations through Singapore's most notable
districts and neighborhoods, explaining the growth and importance,
and showcasing what they have to offer the visitor. Included are
many lesser-known corners of the island which very few visitors
ever get to see!
