From Third World To First: Singapore And The Asian Economic Boom

Few gave tiny Singapore much chance of survival when it was granted independence in 1965. How is it, then, that today the former British colonial trading post is a thriving Asian metropolis with not only the world's number one airline, best airport, and busiest port of trade, but also the world's fourth-highest per capita real income? The story of that transformation is told here by Singapore's charismatic, controversial founding father, Lee Kuan Yew. Rising from a legacy of divisive colonialism, the devastation of the Second World War, and general poverty and disorder following the withdrawal of foreign forces, Singapore now is hailed as a city of the future. This miraculous history is dramatically recounted by the man who not only lived through it all but who fearlessly forged ahead and brought about most of these changes. Mr. Lee is one of the most respected political figures in the world today ('Time' and 'Newsweek' regularly profile his socio-economic strategies and his regime), and recognition of his name among academic, political, historical and sociological circles is guaranteed. This volume also features a foreword from Dr. Henry Kissinger.

Ideal fabric, great fit.
Color: Light Pink, Size: Medium
Loose fitting back is ideal for hiking, walking and other outdoor activities. The fabric is breathable - great for working out. Even though the back if loose fitting, the front and boatneck fit well.

Prefect coverage and cooling.
I have to have sun protection and I live in the south. This is perfect for my daily walks. Covers what I don’t want to put sun screen on, the loose fit hides tummy area and loose in back. Liked it so much, I just ordered two more. Soft, silky, and Very cooling and lightweight.

Weird spot on it.
Color: Black, Size: Large
I kind of like this top, especially the feel of it. Unfortunately, it has an odd stain on the front. Looks like a heat mark from being pressed? I hope it comes out because I threw the bag away. If it does come out I'll take down this review.
