Tsuen Wan was one of the first of Hong Kong's "New Towns": rural areas in the New Territories transformed since the end of the Second World War by growth and immigration into modern urban centers. James Hayes describes Tsuen Wan's development from the perspective of a government administrator on the scene, witness to the results of the great post-war influx of squatters from neighboring China, to the relocating of traditional villages, the leveling of hills and filling of bays, and the gradual development of local representation in government decision making. Transformation presents a first-hand recounting of the momentous and yet commonplace events that tell so much about how Hong Kong and its environs have made the transition to modernity.

Fiber optics has become the backbone of all communications systems, including telecom – landline and wireless - the Internet, CATV, LANs, etc. Most books cover the installation of fiber optic networks, yet every network requires extensive planning and design to ensure a successful installation. This FOA book focuses on the design phase of a fiber optic network. It is aimed at the project manager, supervisor, owner, designer and installer of the network to inform them of the processes involved in the proper planning of a fiber optic communications project.

Fiber optics has become the backbone of all communications systems, including telecom – landline and wireless - the Internet, CATV, LANs, etc. All these fiber optic networks require testing to ensure they are installed properly and to troubleshoot problems when they arise. Fiber optic manufacturers and network users say that testing is the most important aspect of installation and operation but often the least well understood. This book has been written by the FOA to provide a comprehensive but understandable technical guide to this important topic. The Fiber Optic Association, Inc. (FOA) was founded in 1995 by a group of instructors who were highly experienced at teaching fiber optics. They represented educational institutions, manufacturers and commercial and government users of fiber optics, including all types of fiber optic applications. All were concerned about the absence of standards for teaching fiber optic technicians and industry certifications to show their competence. The FOA was chartered to promote fiber optics through education, certification and standards. Today the FOA is recognized around the world as the authority on fiber optic training and certification. The FOA has always tried to provide the world with sources of technically correct unbiased information on fiber optics using both print and electronic media. For such a broad subject as testing fiber optic networks, we depend on the FOA Online Reference Guide on the FOA website (www.foa.org), the largest and most widely used reference on fiber optics to supplement the material in this book. This book and the FOA Online Reference Guide provide a basic reference for testing fiber optic networks and a study guide for FOA Fiber Optic Specialist Certification in testing.

Prompted by the Chinese saying, ‘When I walk along with two others, I am bound to be able to learn from them’, the title of this memoir reflects the author’s close association with the local people through his work and leisure interests, and his consuming desire to learn as much as he could about their history and culture. The book covers several decades of Hong Kong's recent past, from the time James Hayes joined the Administrative Grade of the Hong Kong Civil Service in the 1950s to his retirement in the 1980s, thirty-two years later. Spending practically his whole career in departments rather than in the central Secretariat, serving in posts that brought him into direct contact with the public, we follow him as a young cadet fresh from language school to his first posting in the District Administration, New Territories, through all of his varied assignments to his final post between 1985-87, when he again served in a very changed New Territories in charge of an equally altered District Administration.

First published in 1977, The Hong Kong Region is a historical reconstruction of long-settled vil­lage and township society in Hong Kong's New Territories between 1850 and 1911. The book's central argument is that the gentry and bureau­cracy played almost no role in these commu­nities, which were run by local peasants and shopkeepers who had to deal virtually unaided with routine administration and with every form of disaster, natural or man-made. A sub­stantial new introduction reviews the research and its wider implications for our understand­ing of traditional Chinese society in the light of later scholarly studies.
