    Vibrancy in Stone: Masterpieces of the Đà Nẵng Museum of Cham Sculpture, by Trần Kỳ Phương, V. Văn Thắng, and Peter D. Sharrock. Photographs by Paisarn Piemmettawat (Bangkok: River Books, 2018) In 2018, the University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) partnered with the Đà Nẵng Museum of Cham Sculpture in central Vietnam to produce a remarkable and visually striking centenary catalogue of its world- renowned collection of the sacred arts of the Cham people of Vietnam. The publication of Vibrancy in Stone: Masterpieces of the Đà Nẵng Museum of Cham Sculpture was timed to coincide with the renovation and expansion of the museum. Beginning in the second century CE, settlements appeared along the central coast of what became Vietnam. The Chams probably migrated over the ocean from Borneo and were accomplished navigators. Their ports were the first call for any ship heading from China to India and the Arab world. Their role in the medieval maritime trade grew steadily and reached an apogee in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, when the great neighboring empire of Cambodia declined. The prosperity won from trade led to large scale temple construction earlier than the Cambodians. Figure 1. Map of Cham archaeological sites in Vietnam When tourism resumed in Vietnam after the wars of the twentieth century, the museum quickly became a prime attraction in the port city of Đà Nẵng. It is the world’s only museum devoted exclusively to the art of ancient Champa, the name given to the civilization of the Cham people. With 500 objects on display, its collection far outnumbers those in the Hanoi and Ho chi Minh City History museums, as well as the Musée Guimet in Paris.

  • Designed for AGN/Extension – by Huyen Le, Dated 10July'2017
    Designed for AGN/Extension – By Huyen Le, dated 10July’2017 Extension trip - specially prepared for AGN PROGRAM 01: SAIGON – CU CHI – MEKONG DELTA (4 DAYS – 3 NIGHTS) Day 1: Arrive Saigon With a population of nearly 8 million inhabitants and an almost equal number of scooters, mopeds and motorcycles all competing for space on the ultra-busy streets, bustling and noisy Ho Chi Minh City is quite literally a metropolis on the move. The most western of Vietnamese cities, Saigon, as it is still commonly known, is a city of contrasts; a place where ultra-modern shopping malls and fashionable restaurants vie for space with local retailers selling all manner of wares and quiet roadside cafes making delicious Vietnamese iced coffee (cafe sua da) and other liquid refreshments. There is always something going on in Saigon and a friendly roadside cafe is the perfect place to take five, enjoy a coffee and absorb the dynamic scene unfolding around you. Ho Chi Minh City is packed with first-rate museums and some elegant French-era colonial architecture, including the Central Post Office and the stunning Saigon Opera House. Away from the city centre, Cholon, where the treasure trove of temples are best explored on foot, is one of the most vibrant Chinatowns in South-east-Asia whilst Ben Thanh Market is the perfect place for a spot of retail therapy and souvenir-hunting. With so much to see and do, an international dining scene and some of the most luxurious hotels in the country, Ho Chi Minh City is a truly remarkable destination waiting to be explored.

The thesis examines how HPWSCo tackled the typical problems of a developing country's municipal water supply company and succeeded in the eyes of the consumers, the local and national governments, and the wider development community. The thesis describes how and under what conditions HPWSCo has changed itself from a poorly performing utility to a successful one.

  • Hanoi's Long Century
    CHAPTER ONE Hanoi's Long Century STEIN TéNNESSON The Vietnam War was ``the quintessential conflict in the long history of warfare in our century,'' says Gabriel Kolko, who thinks it was ``virtually preordained'' that the USA would try to attain a vital military success to compensate for its failures in Korea and Cuba. He concedes, though, that ``it was mainly chance that designated Vietnam as the primary arena of trial'' (Kolko, 1994, pp. 419, 436±7). Eric Hobsbawm, the great British narrator of modern history, thinks differently. He finds it ``almost impossible to understand'' why the USA came to embroil itself in ``a doomed war'' (Hobsbawm, 1994, p. 244). Although the two of them differ, they also have some- thing in common: the notion of a short and tragic century. Hobsbawm has even sub- titled his book ``The short twentieth century, 1914±1991.'' Kolko and Hobsbawm's century was full of suffering and lacked a meaningful direction, starting as it did when lights went out in Europe, and ending in bewilderment. ``Darkness'' is Hobsbawm's last word, and Kolko's final sentence reads: ``. a dark night of despair will overcome our world'' (Kolko, 1997, p. 168). From an Asian perspective the twentieth century was long and progressive. The Chinese started their century in 1842, with the Opium War and the loss of Hong Kong, and approached the year 2000 as an almost unified nation enjoying rapid economic growth. The long Vietnamese century began sadly with the French seizure of Saigon in 1859, followed by the ``loss of country'' in the years up to 1884.
