Very useful guidebook for travelling through the S.E.Asia
All the SEA in about 1000 pages. I travelled from Indonesia to Cambodia and for every city and place I visited, this guide always gave useful and up-to-date informations on budget/upmarket accommodations, things to see, transports, nightlife.
Particulary appreciated the advices for crossing the borders and the overland routes in SEA. Obviously all the descriptions are very concise, but u get what u need for your trip, and sometimes the less turistic areas are left-out or shortly pointed out (though it's even nicer to find new, interesting places by yourself ...). But the only alternative is to buy a guidebook on each country u want visit in Asia!
Highlight: useful maps (more accurated than LP in my opinion) and complete urban bus-routes, listings on trains/coaches/planes/boats links for all the destinations within a country.
Reliable and up-to-date tips.
Definitely worths its price!

Soul Survivors gives voice to the women and children who stayed in Cambodia after the genocide (1975-1979), when nearly two million people died from execution, starvation, or disease. It also includes the stories of two refugees who came to the US as orphans, returning as young adults to help their country. These engaging personal narratives reveal that hope and kindness survived the darkest period of Cambodia’s recent history.
Sixty-four photographs draw the reader into contemporary Cambodia to witness the survivors’ courageous work to rebuild their lives, families, and culture in one of the poorest nations of the world. Soul Survivors includes a chronology of Cambodian history, a map, and an index. Additional chapters describe the Khmer Rouge, the role of the US, the landmine situation, and the Buddhist peace movement.

Who hasn't dreamed of being a foreign correspondent? Cambodia as communism fell was a good story, the international United Nations presence provided gonzo characters, and a kilo of marijuana cost less than socks. Cambodia seemed the perfect place to launch a journalistic career, but Carol Livingston soon learned that the blessings and curses of Cambodia's history, the Khmer Rouge guerrillas on Thailand's border, Phnom Penh politics and the story she was writing were rarely what they seemed. Gecko Tails punctures the romantic notions of a freelance reporter's life and with insight, wisdom and wit, offers a colorful and touching story of the real Cambodia.
The first travelogue dedicated solely to Cambodia in thirty years, Gecko Tails is the haunting, sad and funny story of a country filled with beauty, Buddhism and just plain weirdness.

Cambodia has never recovered from its Khmer Rouge past. The genocidal regime of 1975–1979 and the following two decades of civil war ripped the country apart. This work examines Cambodia in the aftermath, focusing on Khmer people of all walks of life and examining through their eyes key facets of Cambodian society, including the ancient Angkor legacy, relations with neighboring countries (particularly the strained ones with the Vietnamese), emerging democracy, psychology, violence, health, family, poverty, the environment, and the nation’s future.
Along with print sources, research is drawn from hundreds of interviews with Cambodians, including farmers, royalty, beggars, teachers, monks, orphanage heads, politicians, and non-native experts on Cambodia. Dozens of exquisite photographs of Cambodian people and places illustrate the work, which concludes with a glossary of Cambodian words, people, places and names, and an appendix of organizations providing aid to Cambodia.

This clear and concise volume provides a timely overview of Cambodia, a small but increasingly visible Southeast Asian nation. Hailed by the Journal of Asian Studies as an "original contribution, superior to any other existing work," the third edition of this acclaimed text has been completely revised and updated to include all-new material examining the death of Pol Pot and the collapse of the Khmer Rouge. In addition, Chandler examines the unstable but influential career of Prince Norodom Sihanouk, the bloody reign of Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge, and the relative calm that followed the Vietnamese invasion of 1979. This comprehensive general description and analysis of Cambodia will illuminate-for specialists and general readers alike-the history and contemporary politics of a country long misunderstood.

Magnum photographer Steve McCurry has beautifully and evocatively photographed the temples of Angkor in Cambodia, among the world's most impressive monuments. Over one hundred of his images of the site are collected in this stunning book, which documents a magical world of carved gods, weathered masonry, tangled vegetation and orange-robed monks. Angkor was the capital of the Khmer rulers from the end of the ninth century until the mid-fifteenth. Each built a state temple at the capital, surrounded by walls, moats and embankments laid out in accordance with cosmological precepts. Designated a World Heritage site by UNESCO, the temples attract tourists, archaeologists and art historians, and are also a pilgrimage destination for Buddhist monks. McCurry first visited Angkor on assignment for National Geographic magazine, for whom he has photographed all over the world. He has made many return visits, capturing a sublime portrait of the buildings, sculpture and people of Angkor. Winner of numerous
honours, including first prize in the World Press awards and the Robert Capa Gold Medal, McCurry has previously published Portraits and South Southeast (both with Phaidon).
The photographs are accompanied by an informative introduction on the history and meaning of Angkor by John Guy, a leading authority on the cultural history of Southeast Asia. Guy is curator of Indian and Southeast Asian sculpture at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and Consultant to UNESCO on historical monuments in Southeast Asia.
