It was like nothing that had been seen before. The world had become used to weapons of all descriptions being used in the fight for ultimate power. But this time a real maniac was on the loose and he was using more modern equipment as he climbed the ladder on his way to becoming the only world leader. Technology had provided him the tool he needed to amass large sums of money which would buy him anything, or anyone he wanted. Nothing escaped his reach, thanks to computers. Law enforcement agencies around the globe weren't moving fast enough to shut down the operation. And the media didn't help, treating each tragedy as an individual story, encouraging one disaster after another, only to highlight the victories without making any connection, allowing him to celebrate his new-found power. As Ryan Droden sifts through the evidence before him, he uncovers more than just the identity of the world's latest power maniac. He also finds himself fighting the enemy within his own ranks. And when his search takes him to Asia, not once, but three times, he discovers a very dangerous connection - a connection which he has to break, before it is too late.

The contribution of Southeast Asia to the world economy (during the late prehistoric and early historic periods) has not received much attention. It has often been viewed as a region of peripheral entrepôts, especially in the early centuries of the current era. Recent archaeological evidence revealed the existence of established and productive polities in Southeast Asia in the early parts of the historic period and earlier. This book recalibrates these interactions of Southeast Asia with other parts of the world economy, and gives the region its due instead of treating it as little more than of marginal interest.

There is increasing interest in the Asian arena; both as a home for the delivery of international higher education and as a breeding ground for a new brand of sustainable domestic and international growth. Academics are increasingly turning to Asia and Asian Education in order to better understand and predict the emerging trends of global education and this book will serve to provide a forum for debate of this nature. The book provides an insight into the interplay of Asian and European education, identifies the key areas for further development and firmly grounds the approach as one of conversation and dialogue, rather than one-sided dictation. It also highlights the critical issues within the development of international education, discusses the value and challenges of existing TNE practices as a mechanism to respond to the emerging Asian needs and provides an insight into the future direction of education in the Asian century.
