Book Description
Fish Eats Lion collects the best original speculative fiction from Singapore - fantasy, science fiction, and the places in between - all anchored with imaginative methods to the Lion City. These twenty-two stories, from emerging writers publishing their first work to winners of the Singapore Literature Prize and the Cultural Medallion, explore the fundamental singularity of the island nation in a refreshing variety of voices and perspectives. This anthology is a celebration of the vibrant creative power underlying Singapore's inventive prose stylists, where what is considered normal and what is strange are blended in fantastic new ways. "Lundberg combines accessibility with a uniquely Singaporean flavor in his selections. SF readers looking to expand their horizons will enjoy visiting new worlds from an unaccustomed point of view." - Publishers Weekly "I doubt I'll read a more engaging collection this year. [...] There's a rich optimism to be found here that speaks of lesser-known spec-fic writers rising to a challenge, and that challenge being more than adequately met." - Pete Young, Big Sky "Entertaining in this post-colonial era, it hints at how storytellers can become mythmakers, with the power to change the world." - Akshita Nanda, The Straits Times

Book Description
Five Easy Pisces - The lobby aquarium fish of the Sculch Cove Playhouse are working through the usual challenges of mounting a production of "Othello" on a very limited budget, amidst the intrigues of theater life and complicated "interpiscene" relationships. The Cattish Play - Sick of performing commercially successful yet banal musical material, a professional company of cats experiences the upheaval of dissent, the treachery of ambition and the smothering kitty litter of death, as certain members of the company are hell-bent on producing much darker motifs. Fowl Play - The Chicken Coop is home to two feuding groups, and in response to the constant fighting the Coop leader has issued an edict that will impose expulsion on anyone caught fighting. Against this backdrop, young Danny on the football team falls for Sandy, the drama club's leading lady (about to play Juliet in the upcoming play.) Together, they live out the famous final scenes of Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers.

Book Description
Technology, at least in theory, is improving our productivity, efficiency, and communication. The one thing it's not doing is making us happier. We are experiencing historically high levels of depression and dissatisfaction. But we can change that. Knowing that technology is here to stay and will continue to evolve in form and function, we need to know how to navigate the future to achieve a better balance between technology, productivity, and well-being. Technology can drive—not diminish—human happiness. In The Future of Happiness, author Amy Blankson, cofounder of the global positive psychology consulting firm GoodThink, unveils five strategies successful individuals can use, not just to survive—but actually thrive—in the Digital Age: • Stay Grounded to focus your energy and increase productivity • Know Thyself through app-driven data to strive toward your potential • Train Your Brain to develop and sustain an optimistic mindset • Create a Habitat for Happiness to maximize the spaces where you live, work, and learn • Be a Conscious Innovator to help make the world a better place By rethinking when, where, why, and how you use technology, you will not only influence your own well-being but also help shape the future of your community. Discover how technologies can transform the idea of "I'll be happy when . . ." to being happy now.

Book Description
After relocating into the heart of northern Tanzania for their careers, four close friends participate in never-ending, suspenseful, trapdoor assignments otherwise known in their line of work as wildlife conservation and archaeology. But it's not until one of the group's friends presented challenges like no other to their lives during the highly unimaginable, determined work they happened to love. How would each character react to their fellow coworkers if they locked horns with someone in their seemingly close-knit group who never stopped being impossible? It would seem that no matter what the group had done, they never seemed to get it right for that particular person. And the fact of the matter is, it's a recurring matter throughout nearly each day spent between one another while enjoying their work interest. What everybody in the group, save that special someone, must ask themselves is, How long should they put up with that special someone and deal with the difficulty? To make matters worse, one of the other characters refuses to hear the difficult character out, which leaves a stain on their relationships. Complications only arise as a criminal led the charge in parts of Tanzania to involve them in tracking him and his men in poaching and archaeology. And to top it all off, the difficult character had the canny ability to be a step forward through the door and to take the lead with any obstacle that heads their way. But by leaving each of the close acquaintances far more tightly knit together than they were before in the middle of prevalent danger, their struggles came as a surprise, realizing how they really didn't see each other the right way, all based on a story of suspenseful adventure that only raised the tenacity of keeping the group alarmed on their toes.
