Synopsis

Rice Wine Making explores how a simple grain transforms into a beverage deeply embedded in cultural traditions. This book reveals the science behind rice wine fermentation, explaining how microorganisms convert rice starch into alcohol, and examines its integral role in family ceremonies and social gatherings. Rice wine, predating many modern alcoholic drinks, embodies family heritage and social bonds, making it more than just a drink—it's a cultural artifact.

 
The book uniquely blends scientific explanations with cultural narratives, appealing to home brewers, culinary enthusiasts, and those interested in Asian culture. It begins with the history and cultural importance of rice wine, delving into the science of fermentation, including the microorganisms and chemical reactions involved. The latter half explores rice wine's role in life events like ancestor veneration and weddings, providing a holistic understanding by integrating perspectives from anthropology, sociology, and food science.

 
By combining scientific research with ethnographic studies, the book offers practical applications for improving homemade rice wine while respecting traditional recipes. It highlights the social and cultural significance of rice wine, demonstrating how a seemingly simple process contributes to social cohesion and represents cultural identity within communities.

Excellent Essex - In Praise of...

Gillian Darley

'Original and beautifully written' GUARDIAN


Gillian Darley takes us on a vivid, personal tour, from the seaside piers to the empty marshes and the New Town tower blocks, revealing a landscape and a story like no other.


Alongside Essex Man and TOWIE, there's the Essex that nurtured the first Puritan settlers in America, that welcomed refugees from Europe, fugitives from the underworld and bombed-out EastEnders. Where dreamers and makers, punk poets, anarchist sects and inventors all found inspiration.


A Colchester nurseryman was the first to trade with a secretive Eastern Kingdom. Braintree's only earthquake inspired an innovative building system. In Epping, a spat over firewood led to an historic victory for the common people. In Essex, the clash between city and countryside, capital and province, created a shower of sparks that ultimately set the world on fire.


Drawing on everything from early maps to reality TV, Excellent Essex is no guide book, but a wonderful guide to England's most misunderstood county.

The Secret Founding of America -...

Nicholas Hagger

The widely accepted story of the founding of America is that The Mayflower delivered the first settlers from Plymouth to the New World in 1620. Yet in reality, the Jamestown settlers had already become the first English-speaking outpost thirteen years earlier in 1607. The Secret Founding of America introduces these two groups of founders—the Planting Fathers, who established the earliest settlements along essentially Christian lines, and the Founding Fathers, who unified the colonies with the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution—and it argues that the new nation, conceived in liberty, was the Freemasons’ first step towards a new world order. Drawing on original findings and an in-depth understanding of the political and philosophical realities of the time, historian Nicholas Hagger charts the connections between Gosnold and Smith, Templars and Jacobites, and secret societies and libertarian ideals. He also explains how the influence of German Illuminati worked on the constructors of the new republic, and shows the hand of Freemasonry at work at every turning point in America’s history, from Civil War to today’s global struggles for democracy.

Let The People Have Him Chiam...

Loke Hoe Yeong

Chiam See Tong (b. 1935) is Singapore's longest serving opposition politician. A member of parliament for nearly three decades, Chiam is also one of Singapore's most iconic, influential and beloved political figures. Through his efforts in shaping Potong Pasir into a "model constituency", the veteran statesman has greatly contributed towards an increasingly pluralistic Singapore.

When he first entered politics in 1976, there was not a single opposition member in Parliament. As the founder of the Singapore Democratic Party, and later the Singapore People's Party, Chiam has long rallied for the need of an opposition as the essential democratic check on a one-party system. He is respected for his level-headed and non-confrontational stance, and is the only opposition member to have received public apologies and out-of-court damages from cabinet ministers of Singapore's ruling People's Action Party.

Based on extensive interviews, family documents and party archives, Let the People Have Him is the first biography of an opposition politician from post-independence Singapore—a biography of a man who, through his accomplishments and devotion, struggled to build a fairer, more balanced and diverse country.

Tracing the first half of a life fully lived, this book sheds light on Chiam's circuitous and colourful route to Parliament at the age of 49—from his revolutionary family background to his days as a champion school swimmer; from his political awakening in New Zealand to his stint as an inspiring school teacher in Malaysia; from training as a lawyer to his cross-continental romance with his wife Lina; from standing as an independent candidate in 1976 to winning the Potong Pasir seat in 1984 as the leader of the fledging Singapore Democratic Party. Let the People Have Him draws a humanistic picture of Chiam in his early days—as his country changed around him before he was to change it—while revealing the guiding values that have made this humble and unassuming man revered for generations to come.
