Singapore: Landmark Books, 2013. First edition. Paperback. As New. 6-7-16. Since Wallace the Malay peninsula and archipelago have probably had more than their fair share of single minded, ground breaking and irascible botanists. EJH Corner fitted well into the tradition being allowed to stay in his beloved Singapore Botanical Gardens by the Japanese and being honoured by the Emperor, but managing to rehabilitate himself to be appointed Professor of Tropical Botany at Cambridge after the war. In this biography his son, who never saw his father again after leaving the parental home at 19, pieces together an extraordinary life and comes to terms with a father whom he and many of his father's colleagues barely knew. 431 pages. Please see scanned photos for a list of the chapters. Weight: 0.8.kg. * Post free within Malaysia.

Singapore: NUS Press, 2013. Paperback. New. Probably few now realise the importance of the importance of the 1961 fire that made 16,000 residents of the Bukit Ho Swee squatter settlement homeless. The new Government reacted by using the Housing and Development Board (HDB) to set up its first public housing project, the famous HDB flats which house about four fifths of Singapore's population today. The author grew up as a beneficiary of this project and uses that as a basis for looking back at the dangers of squatter life, the fire and what followed.
