Running away from my home to another country, without decent food or any future, at only 6 months old, how I survived with no milk but solely on sweet potatoes grown by my mother and siblings with their bare hands from soil that was mainly clay, and unsuitable for agriculture. Despite the disadvantages of being over age for schooling, and with the hard life that was brought to my family, I was considered most fortunate among my siblings to have survived from the war, despite the lack of nutritional food. I was even later in my teen ventured to London from Singapore, hoping to better myself, by land through treacherous countries and learn about the different cultures.

Book Description
This book presents a technical review of ecological and life history information on a range of Bornean wildlife species, aimed at identifying what makes these species sensitive to timber harvesting practices and associated impacts. It addresses three audiences: 1) those involved in assessing and regulating timber harvesting activities in Southeast Asia, 2) those involved in trying to achieve conservation goals in the region, and 3) those undertaking research to improve multipurpose forest management. This book shows that forest management can be improved in many simple ways to allow timber extraction and wildlife conservation to be more compatible than under current practices. The recommendations can also be valuable to the many governmental and non-governmental organisations promoting sustainable forest management and eco-labelling. Finally, it identifies a number of shortcomings and gaps in knowledge, which the hope can interest the scientific community and promote further research. This review is, an important scientific step toward understanding and improving sustainable forestry practices for long-term biodiversity conservation. Even in the short term, however, significant improvements can be made to improve both conservation and the efficiency of forest management, and there is no need to delay action due to a perceived lack of information. In the longer term it is expected that the recommendations from this review will be implemented, and that further research will continue to help foster an acceptable balance among the choices needed to maintain healthy wildlife populations and biodiversity in a productive forest estate.

Book Description
It does not matter if you love your father or if your father loves you, this book for you. A moving true story packed with deep emotions of an adult child for his late father. It speaks so intimately and so powerfully that it may change how you feel about your father. Not only does it speak with the author's regretful inner voice to communicate with his late father; it also opens the author's eyes to witness his late father spiritual love. It speaks about love, faith, perseverance, determination, and courage in life, and how the reflection on his late father has healed and guided him back onto the path to continue living a meaningful life, when he was at the edge of giving up the faith, courage, and trust he has in himself and people, and things around him after the unpredictable layoff from his employment during the world economic turmoil. This book has also included some inspirational ancient Chinese totems, symbols, poems and idioms, as well as a series of historical photos and illustrations on the events in this true story.
