| Asia 2000 is
the oldest of our imprints. It originates with the magazine Asia 2000
that we first published in 1980. The magazine was about the future of
Asia. We could not make a go of it so decided to publish books. At the
time it did not occur to us that we would still be doing so when the
year |
|
2000 crossed
the horizon of the present and quickly receded into the past. So it
goes. In the more than two decades that have been intervened, the Asia
2000 logo has graced the spine of a wide variety of books and even
known its share of controversy. The Asia 2000 list now comprises |
|
four title
categories: Illustrated Books,
Current Affairs & History,
Travel,
Language & Culture, and Memoir & Biography. The list grows
steadily stronger. Among our new books this year are
Brave Land,
Ray Hu's passionate journey to reclaim his past, a semi-biographical and
semi- |
|
historical
account of Twentieth Century China told in the voices of three
generations. We hope language learners will also appreciate
Amy
Leung's No Sweat Cantonese, the long awaited textbook and CD from one
of Hong Kong's most popular and successful Cantonese Teachers. |
