{"product_id":"inglis-kim-singapore-9780804843355","title":"Singapore","description":"With stunning photographs and insightful commentary this travel pictorial and Singapore travel guide captures the dynamism of a remarkable Pacific nation. In just a few short decades, Singapore has transformed itself from a tiny island off the coast of mainland Asia into a global superpower in banking, IT, education, biotech, transportation and many other fields. The fascinating story of how this tiny city-state which has no hinterland, no natural resources, and a relatively small population has achieved success is told in this book. Singapore's history as a British colonial port, its dynamic multi-ethnic population, and its innovative governmental and social structures, are a part of the story. But there are others as well. How Singapore became a regional hub for finance, shipping and air travel, and now also for the arts, sport and leisure—are all showcased in dynamic detail, with over 300 full-color photographs to illustrate graphically how this small island functions like a well-tuned racing machine. Author Kim Inglis, a journalist, and long-time local resident, leads the reader on a series of explorations through Singapore's most notable districts and neighborhoods, explaining the growth and importance, and showcasing what they have to offer the visitor. Included are many lesser-known corners of the island which very few visitors ever get to see!","brand":"Tuttle Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53366383509846,"sku":"9780804843355-V","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53325092815190,"sku":"9780804843355-G","price":10.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780804843355_1.jpg?v=1784195425","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/inglis-kim-singapore-9780804843355","provider":"momox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
