Book Description
With origins in countries as diverse as Japan, Bali, Thailand, and Sri Lanka, an Asian aesthetic has taken root in the West. Many of the world's leading designers such as John Pawson, Christian Liaigre, and Anouska Hempel have been drawn to it, sharing a desire to create interiors with a sense of harmony and balance and reflecting the East's use of natural materials. You'll find fresh, distinctive decorating inspiration for indoors and out in the contemporary home, drawing out the fascinating link between materials and design, as well as the cultural and spiritual dimensions that underpin Asian thought. Appropriate for today's softened minimalism, the interiors are unified by a less is more philosophy, in which the use of wood, ceramics, natural fibers, stone, and water are stunningly showcased.

Book Description
The first edition of Southeast Asia: An introductory history was published in 1979 and immediately filled a need for travellers and students interested in a tantalisingly different part of the world. Subsequent editions (translated into Japanese, Khmer, Korean and Thai) have continued to document with great perception the enormous changes and dramatic growth experienced in the region. Dr Milton Osborne has been a resident, student and fascinated observer of Southeast Asia for over 50 years. This familiarity has resulted in a highly readable and lively chronicle. While giving due regard to the early history of the region, Osborne concentrates on the changes that have taken place since the eighteenth century: the impact of colonial rule, economic transformations of the 19th and 20th centuries, the emergence and triumph of the independence movements, the impact of social change and the pivotal roles played by religion, ethnic minorities and immigrant groups. He also provides an introduction to the art of the region and a comprehensive guide to literature about Southeast Asia. Clearly written and extensively illustrated this eleventh edition of Southeast Asia: An introductory history remains a classic in the field. 'While deepening our understanding of Southeast Asia, this fine introduction reminds us of the importance of history itself. ' - Anthony Milner, Basham Professor of Asian History, Australian National University

Book Description
Aujourd'hui, l'esthétique asiatique, qui puise ses sources au Japon, à Bali, en Thaïlande ou à Ceylan, est très appréciée en Occident. De grands stylistes de réputation internationale comme John Pawson, Christian Laigre et Anouska Hempel ont choisi de s'en inspirer pour créer des intérieurs harmonieux misant sur les matières naturelles, Déco Zen apporte une touche inédite aux jardins et aux intérieurs contemporains. Cet ouvrage révèle admirablement la beauté des matériaux et du design, ainsi que les dimensions culturelles et spirituelles qui caractérisent la pensée asiatique. En symbiose avec les actuelles tendances minimalistes, les intérieurs reflètent une philosophie du dépouillement, servie par le bois, la céramique, les fibres naturelles, la pierre et l'eau.

Book Description
With rich description and insightful interviews, Russell Jeung uncovers why and how Chinese and Japanese American Christians are building new, pan-Asian organizations. Detailed surveys of over fifty Chinese and Japanese American congregations in the San Francisco Bay area show how symbolic racial identities structure Asian American congregations. Evangelical ministers differ from mainline Christian ministers in their construction of Asian American identity. Mobilizing around these distinct identities, evangelicals and mainline Christians have developed unique pan-Asian styles of worship, ministries, and church activities. Portraits of two churches further illustrate how symbolic racial identities affect congregational life and ministries. The book concludes with a look at Asian American-led multiethnic churches.
