American Sour Beer
Michael Tonsmeire
One of the most exciting and dynamic segments of today’s craft
brewing scene, American-brewed sour beers are designed intentionally
to be tart and may be inoculated with souring bacteria, fermented
with wild yeast or fruit, aged in barrels or blended with younger beer.
Craft brewers and homebrewers have adapted traditional European
techniques to create some of the world’s most distinctive and
experimental styles. This book details the wide array of processes and
ingredients in American sour beer production, with actionable advice
for each stage of the process. Inspiration, education and practical
applications for brewers of all levels are provided by some of the
country’s best known sour beer brewers.
Michael Tonsmeire is an award-winning homebrewer, certified beer
judge, sour beer blogger and has written articles on sour beers for
various beer magazines. He most recently developed the recipes
and grew the microbes for the sour beer program at Modern Times
brewery in San Diego, CA. Tonsmeire resides in Washington, D.C.

30 Years at Ballymaloe
A Celebration of the World-renowned Cooking
School with over 100 New Recipes
Darina Allen
Foreword by Alice Waters
When Ballymaloe’s doors opened to students in 1983 there were
15 courses available. Now there are over 100, reflected in the
recipes collected here, including curing meat, making gluten-free
meals and sushi as well as learning forgotten skills like producing
butter and cheese and beekeeping. The book chronicles how the
school has been at the forefront of cooking and food trends since its
inception, from Darina’s championing of the Slow Food movement
and her highlighting the importance of using local, seasonal and
fresh produce to installing a wood-burning oven and expanding its
gardens so students can learn the importance of eating less meat
and more vegetables and preserving heirloom varieties of produce. A
fascinating insight into Ballymaloe, this is also a history of food over
the past thirty years—from a time when Darina couldn’t get anything
other than pre-packaged, grated Parmesan cheese to one where a
local producer makes his own mozzarella.
Darina Allen is Ireland’s best-known food ambassador and the
bestselling author of Irish Traditional Cooking and Forgotten Skills of
Cooking, which won the prestigious André Simon award in 2009. She
is a tireless campaigner for local produce, setting up Ireland’s first
Farmers’ Market and is on the board of The Soil Association. She has
won many awards including the IACP’s Cooking Teacher of the Year
in 2005 and outstanding contribution to the Irish culinary sector by
Euro-Toques in 2007.

drive into the office, Bill gets a call from the CEO. The company’s new IT
initiative, code named Phoenix Project, is critical to the future of Parts
Unlimited, but the project is massively over budget and very late. The
CEO wants Bill to report directly to him and fix the mess in ninety days or
else Bill’s entire department will be outsourced.
With the help of a prospective board member and his mysterious
philosophy of The Three Ways, Bill starts to see that IT work has more in
common with manufacturing plant work than he ever imagined. With the
clock ticking, Bill must organize work flow streamline interdepartmental
communications, and effectively serve the other business functions at
Parts Unlimited.
In a fast-paced and entertaining style, three luminaries of the DevOps
movement deliver a story that anyone who works in IT will recognize.
Readers will not only learn how to improve their own IT organizations,
they’ll never view IT the same way again.

Books of All Time by Covert and Sattersten. It’s a novel told in Steve
Farber’s humorous, poignant, and original voice that takes the

deeper into innovation, personal clarity and guidelines for changing
the world. It sets a new standard for what it means to really lead in

Islamic Finance
Why It Makes Sense (For You)—Understanding its
Principles and Practices
Second Edition
Daud Vicary Abdullah and Keon Chee
Islamic finance has been growing faster than conventional finance
for most of the past decade. It has done this on a model of finance
that rejects interest and promotes profit sharing. How is this
possible? Yet the wealth potential of Islamic finance is far from being
its most attractive feature. What is most compelling about Islamic
finance are its ethical principles and strong corporate governance
based on Shariah law.
This second edition explains and updates how conventional financial
products work — from mortgages and leases to trade finance and
insurance — before delving into their Islamic versions and contains
three new topics on microfinance, the ethical company and wealth
succession
Daud Vicary Abdullah has been in the finance and consulting
industry for more than 35 years, and has focused solely on Islamic
finance since 2002. He is a frequent speaker and commentator on
matters relating to Islamic finance.
Keon Chee is senior executive at Heritage Trust Group, an
independent trust and fiduciary services company. He has held
senior positions in financial institutions and has trained many leading
financial advisors in Singapore. He has written two definitive books
on investment planning and wealth management that are now being
used by advisors for professional certification. He is also co-author of
the best-selling Make Your Money Work For You (2006).

Karpal Singh
Why Not?
Tim Donoghue
Terry O’Connor
Tiger of Jelutong
Karpal Singh is widely regarded as the best criminal and constitutional
lawyer practising in Malaysia today. Since graduating from the
University of Singapore in 1969 he has been a fearless, intelligent
advocate for justice and a defender of human rights in South East Asia.
In his long and illustrious career, Karpal Singh has defended more
people headed for death row in Malaysian jails than he cares to
remember. One of his biggest achievements in recent years has
been his successful defense of former Deputy Prime Minister
Anwar Ibrahim on two charges of sodomy. Indeed, without his
steely involvement at the head of Anwar’s defence it is difficult to
imagine the opposition coalition being in the position it is today of
being able to realistically challenge the ruling United Malay National
Organisation for power at the May 5, 2013 election.
In this book, veteran journalist Tim Donoghue, who first met Karpal
Singh in 1986 while based in Hong Kong, tells the remarkable story of a
tenacious and principled lawyer and politician who has emerged as the
kingmaker among the various Malaysian opposition political parties.
Tim Donoghue is a journalist with the Dominion Post newspaper
based in Wellington, New Zealand. He first discussed the possibility of
writing this biography with Karpal Singh when he visited the lawyer at
the Kamunting Detention Camp outside Taiping in 1988. Donoghue’s
many international assignments have taken him throughout the
Middle East and Asia. He is the author of three books including The
Tiger Who Smiled (1990), which tells the story of how Karpal Singh
helped the Cohens escape the gallows by the ‘skin of their teeth’.

The Story of a Retail Maverick and Courts
Why Not? The Story of a Retail Maverick and Courts tells the story
of Terry O’Connor and how he brought a British household name to
Singapore.
Part biography, the book gives a fascinating insight into the history
of Courts, a general goods store first set up in 1850 in Canterbury,
England, its subsequent expansion into Southeast Asia, and its
transformation from a furniture retailer to a purveyor of electronic
goods.
The author relates his personal journey from trainee buyer in an
electronics store in Liverpool to chief executive of Courts Asia, and
gives thoughtful insights into doing business in Southeast Asia.
Terry O’Connor is the CEO of Courts Asia, the largest retailer of
consumer electronics and home furnishings in Southeast Asia.
Hailing from Liverpool, England, Terry holds an MBA in Retailing
and Wholesaling from the University of Stirling. A leading figure in
the wider British community in Singapore, he was president of the
British Chamber of Commerce (BritCham) from 2006 to 2010. He was
conferred the award of Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the
British Empire (OBE) by Her Majesty The Queen of England in 2010.

Democracy Denied
What Really Happened in GE13 and What It Means
for Malaysia
Bridget Welsh
Conversations with Thaksin
From Exile to Deliverance: Thailand’s Populist Tycoon
Tells His Story
Tom Plate
The May 2013 General Election was a watershed election for
Malaysia in what it did not deliver; there was no change of
government. While the opposition won the popular vote, it did
not capture government. The longest governing coalition in the
world comprised of the Barisan Nasional (National Front or BN)
dominated by the Malay-chauvinist party, the United Malay National
Organization, stayed in office, extending its 56-year tenure.
Going home is an iconic theme of literature and music that touches
everyone’s heart. Bur rarely has that journey looked more like an
impossible dream than for Thaksin Shinawatra, the much loved
and much hated former prime minister of Thailand. Expelled
from the former Siam by a military coup in 2006, the cell-phone
billionaire retreated to a dacha in Dubai to bide his time and plot his
triumphant return.
Democracy Denied looks at what happened in the election. Based
on fieldwork before and after polls, a detailed analysis of the results
at the polling station level, and years of following elections on the
ground, this study traces the campaign to the post-election questions
of political legitimacy. The analysis explains how and why democracy
was denied in this election, and fleshes out the implications for
future elections in Malaysia.
While in exile in Dubai, Thaksin tells his tale of triumph and betrayal
to American journalist Tom Plate as well as his personal thoughts
about poverty reduction, power politics, the future of democracy
in Asia — and why he prefers to lose at golf. In this volume, Plate
masterfully dissects the mogul who ran his country like a CEO until
the tanks came to show who was boss.
Bridget Welsh is Associate Professor of Political Science at
Singapore Management University and received her doctorate and
MA from Columbia University. She is the Malaysia Director of the
Asia Barometer Survey Project and conducted the latest survey
in November 2011. She is currently studying women in politics in
Southeast Asia, and has ongoing projects examining Islamist parties,
vigilante violence in Indonesia, and political conditions in Myanmar/
Burma. the author is co-editor of Awakening: The Abdullah Badawi

Supersonic
Personal Situations with Oasis (1992-96)
Stewart Deabill and Ian Snowball
Supersonic: Personal Situations With Oasis (1992–96) charts the
Manchester band’s meteoric rise from the tiny venues of their
hometown to playing to 250,000 people over two days in the
Summer of 1996.
The book features unseen photos and unheard stories as the authors
Deabill and Snowball take the reader back to the nights of riotous gigs,
Definitely Maybe, Oasis vs Blur, the mammoth-selling second album
What’s The Story (Morning Glory) and how over an eighth of the UK’s
population applied for tickets for the band’s record-breaking gigs at
Knebworth. Headed by the brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, Oasis
made guitars cool again, put attitude back in the charts and saw their
music reach all four corners of the globe with swagger and style.
Stuart Deabill was born and raised in West London and has visited
every pub and club in the area at some point. Being a longstanding
member of the cult Musicfootballclobber has enabled Stuart to dress
well, have good ears and a foul mouth for the best part of 35 years
now. Stuart is married, lives in South Hetfordshire and is a season
ticket holder at Chelsea FC.
Ian Snowball was born and bred in Kent. He became a music fan
at the age of eleven after buying That’s Entertainment for 50p. He
has a mixed taste in music that ranges from The Jam to The Doors,
Northern Soul and Ska.

Bitter-Sweet Harvest
Chan Ling Yap
Love, Sex and Everything in Between
Fact and Fiction from a Sexologist
Dr. Martha Tara Lee
What happens when love and hate collide?
When An Mei fell in love with Hussein, she could not have foreseen
the tragic events that were to follow. Set in a Malaysia emerging
from the outbreak of racial conflict in 1969, Bitter-Sweet Harvest
tells of the difficulties and tensions involved in a marriage between
a Malay Muslim and a Chinese Christian. Atmospheric, dramatic,
action-packed and intriguing, this is a spell-binding journey through
contrasting cultures: from the learned spires of Oxford in England
to the east coast of Peninsula Malaysia; from vibrant Singapore to
Catholic Rome and developing Indonesia.
Bitter-Sweet Harvest is the sequel to the novel Sweet Offerings. The
stories can be read in any order and are complete in themselves.
Born in Kuala Lumpur, Chan Ling Yap was educated in Malaysia and
subsequently in England where she obtained a PhD in Economics.
She lectured at the University of Malaya before joining the United
Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome, where she
worked for nearly two decades. She now lives in the UK with her
husband and two children. A widely published author of various
textbooks and journals, her foray into fiction, Sweet Offerings, was
highly praised for its beautiful evocation of Asia. Bitter-Sweet Harvest
is her second novel.

Andrea Kennedy
A descendant of the famous Kapitan Cina, Yap Kwan Seng, Chan Ling
Yap will take you back to China in the 1800s, where we follow one

In the southern Province of Guangxi amidst the turmoil of the

good fortune. Seen through the eyes of one family, this is a moving
story of the scourge of opium and one man’s plight and rise in fortune
in British Malaya.
Chan Ling Yap (or Yap Chan Ling when in Asia) was born in Kuala
Lumpur. She was educated in Malaysia and subsequently in England
where she obtained a PhD in Economics. She lectured at the
University of Malaya before joining the United Nations Food and

decades. She now lives in the UK with her husband and family. New

The Forest Fable
Gelyn Ong
Do Princesses Wear Hiking Boots?
Keepsake Sticker Doodle Book
Carmela LaVigna Coyle
Illustrated by Mike Gordon and Carl Gordon
In this enchanting fable of a forest and the myriad creatures that call it
home, 8-year-old artist Gelyn Ong paints a lyrical portrait of nature in
harmony. But when a lumberjack arrives on the scene, the animals find
themselves in danger of losing their home. Through a series of intricate
and beautifully painted scenes, the animals come face to face with the
lumberjack – will the trees that give them food and shelter be chopped
down?
This is the remarkable debut of a young artist to watch out for. With a
maturity and vision beyond her years, Gelyn Ong captures the forest
in moving detail, offering a persuasive case for conserving the earth’s
shared resources.
Gelyn Ong is a talented young artist whose artworks have raised
more than $450,000 at two charity auctions and have been used on
calendars and EZ-Link cards for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Gelyn’s
whimsical, boldly patterned artwork began as crayon scribbles on
paper at the age of 4. Since then, she graduated to acrylics on canvas,
and now uses her art to convey her message of earth conservation. In
2012 she became a spokesperson for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
