Francois Tainturier and NUS Press show a work of very good quality. The visual quality, the format, the large number of figures-old maps, photos from the colonial era, diagrams and comparative plans-the care given to the very beautiful layout, are all elements that strike you at first sight. * Moussons * [This] is a fascinating book, fluidly written, thoroughly researched and clearly structured around key arguments. . . . Overall, the book is a textured and meticulous work of passion that deserves to be read by anyone interested in Southeast Asia's cultural, religious and urban history. It is also a valuable reminder that Burma can be apprehended and appreciated for its cultural and historical richness beyond the horrors faced by its people today. * SOJOURN *
