Singapore is a microcosm of the many and varying cultures found in Asia. Everywhere you look you see a different face, another style of dress, a different building style: it's a layered country, full of contradiction, yet homogenised. Like the country this new book showcases these particularly Singaporean sights: the contrasts and contradictions as well as the parallels. In a way no other book has achieved. This book, like Singapore is unique and a perfect memory of time, profitably spent and must have purchase for vistors and resident alike.
