Thai Popular Music : Thai Popular Culture Volume 1
The Railways and Tramways of Việt Nam is the result of two years of research and is the first in-depth English language history of Việt Nam’s rail and tram networks, from their inception to the present day.
Drawing on both French and Vietnamese archival materials__many only recently made available to foreign researchers__and incorporating over 350 images and maps both in black-and-white and in colour, the book provides a unique insight into the development of rail transportation in French Indochina and the crucial role played the railways during the First and Second Indochina Wars. Bringing the story up to date, it also examines the development of the national railway network since reunification in 1975 and the Vietnamese government’s ambitious plans to transform the railway landscape by creating a modern and competitive main-line and urban rail network.
With its fascinating subject matter, The Railways and Tramways of Việt Nam will be of interest not only to railway enthusiasts, researchers and historians, but also to the average visitor to this captivating country.
It will also be an essential tool for the “platform-end” rail fan, with appendices containing locomotive technical data, running numbers and depot allocations, a complete station/km listing for all operational Vietnamese railway lines and a directory of key contacts in the Vietnamese railway sector, including diesel depots and stabling points.

Laos in the 1920s. The Gods, Monks and Mountains of Laos presents data and a number of unique photographs intended to attract investors and tourists to the fledgling French colony of Laos. The book, first published in 1930 as a quasi-pamphlet, also includes an assessment by staunch colonialist Pierre Deloncle of development work already undertaken and challenges for the future. Early mining successes, in particular, are discussed as an example of successful private enterprise. The book is based on the travels of the novelist Jean Renaud in the company of Albert Sarraut, another scholar of Laos and Indochina, and on published sources. Special attention is given to various proposed roads to link Laos with the rest of Indochina and to access the wealth of the Plain of Jars. Besides presenting a number of polemical arguments in favor of the colony, the book also gives some salient facts about its natural setting, history, geography and various highland tribes. The great importance and significance of religious superstitions and customary ceremonies are also discussed.
