I have been exploring the National Library Board, Singapore’s excellent mobile app (https://bit.ly/2jYm5RE). It lets you borrow ebooks to read on your phone or tablet, wherever you may be. Best of all no late fees, as the ebook is automatically returned when it is due!
As today is World Book Day, I thought you might be interested to see the books I have currently borrowed:
[ 我的终身大事 ]
It is less than a fortnight to the centenary of the May 4th Movement, a seminal event in China’s modern history. 我的终身大事 is a brief playlet by 胡适, one of the leading figures in the Movement. It is not a major work, but gives a flavour of the times.
[ Our Story 平如美棠–我俩的故事 by Rao Pingru 饶平如 ]
A moving and beautifully illustrated story of the author and his wife Meitang, from their childhood until old age. The author wrote the book and drew the illustrations as a tribute to his wife after she died. It evokes China before the Japanese invaded, through war and revolution, and the hardships and joys as the couple grew old apart (they were separated for 22 years, because Pingru was sent away for reform through labour) and together.
[ Raffles and Hastings ]
This is a collection of letters which Stamford Raffles wrote to Lord Hastings, the Governor General of India, around the time Raffles came to Singapore. They give an insight into Raffles' thinking, how Hastings and others influenced the decision to set up a trading post in Singapore, and how the Dutch government and the British authorities in Penang (then the Prince of Wales Island) opposed this move. Interesting reading in the Bicentennial year.
[ Singathology ]
A collection of writings by Singapore authors for the SG50 year. Many different genres – poetry, prose, plays, and in different languages too. We often pick up books by foreign authors, but we should remember that there is lots of good Singapore writing too!
[ Black and White Digital Photography ]
This will hopefully help me improve my photo taking skills. :)
[ The Nature of Space and Time ]
I was moved to borrow this ebook by the recent publication of the picture of the supermassive black hole in the M87 galaxy. It is a set of lectures by Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose, both experts in general relativity and particularly black holes. I don't understand the math in the lectures, but hope to get some flavour of the debate between Hawking and Penrose.

ϟϟ SHOUT 今日主打星 : 台灣 ϟϟ
此次特輯我們介紹了台灣、日本、韓國、中國共16位攝影新進創作者,以下來自台灣 : )
☄ 陳以軒
陳以軒,輔仁大學廣告傳播學系畢業,後於紐約普瑞特藝術學院獲得攝影碩士。他以攝影為創作主體,媒材形式橫跨平面攝影、創作書、錄像、影像裝置,以及行為演出。近期創作多關注在攝影如何處理個人的生命史,以及影像媒介在進行溝通傳達時所產生的模糊與誤謬。
CHEN I-Hsuen earned his BA degree in Advertising & Public Relations from Fu Jen Catholic University, Taipei, Taiwan, and received his MFA in Photography from Pratt Institute, New York, USA. Through photography Chen develops myriad forms of art. Photos, artist books, videos, installations, and performances make up the interdisciplinary body of his work. Chen’s recent projects explore how photography as a mode of production portrays personal life history, and how imagery as a medium of communication generates fallacy and obscurity.
☄ 黃亦晨
黃亦晨,土生土長台北人,在舊金山展開攝影人生,作品多以底片拍攝而成。畢業於舊金山藝術大學攝影系碩士班,回台後,舉辦個展「明日黃花」(2013),目前為自由接案攝影人,作品散見藝術文化媒體及網站。正積極籌備第一本攝影集。
HUANG Sherry was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan. She has an MFA in Photography from Academy of Art University (AAU), San Francisco, and currently works as a freelance photographer in Taipei. Her solo exhibition “Dead Letter” was held in 2013. Sherry’s work can be found in various art websites and magazines. She is now working on her first photobook.
☄ 吳孟真
吳孟真,生於台北,台大社會系畢業,在倫敦大學修習建築史,後轉往藝術領域進修,於2012年自波士頓美術館藝術學校取得藝術碩士學位。她透過創作探討「形式」如何構成認同或普遍的印象,並重新思索攝影術本身的美學條件。作品多取材自日常的環境與生活經驗。使用的媒材包含攝影、裝置和行為藝術。攝影作品近年來曾在台灣和美國多處發表,包括新英格蘭攝影雙年展(2012)、全美攝影展(2011),和TIVAC攝影獎之「評審一選」特展(2014)等。今年獲得文化部的藝術新秀獎助,在台灣舉辦首次個展。
WU Mong-Jane was born in Taipei, Taiwan. Studied sociology and architectural history before she received an MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 2012. Wu uses photography, installation, and performance to explore ideas of form and formalities, and how they constitute identities, stereotypes, and general impressions. Her work has been shown in Taiwan and the United States, including “Photo National 2011”, “New England Photography Biennial” (2012), and “TIVAC Photo Awards Juror’s Choice” (2014). She was recently awarded a New Talent Grant from the Ministry of Culture for her first solo exhibition in Taiwan.
☄ 鄭婷
鄭婷,台北藝術大學美術系畢業,目前於倫敦大學金匠學院習攝影。影像以快拍方式捕捉日常物件和場景的超自然樣貌,構築關於身體與其周遭空間的連結關係。作品曾刊載於《Dazed Digital》,《Neon Magazine》以及《Bloomberg BusinessWeek》,並於倫敦、柏林、冰島、聖保羅、曼谷、上海和台北等地展出。她的夢想是建造一個供藝術家居住的行動樹屋,一起旅行並造訪外星公路。
CHENG Ting earned her BA degree in School of Fine Arts from Taipei National University of the Arts, then went to London to dive into Photography at Goldsmiths College. Building a connection between the body and the space around it, Cheng captures everyday objects and situations in snapshots that seem positively otherworldly. Her works has been featured in a variety of media, such as Dazed Digital, Neon Magazine, and Bloomberg BusinessWeek; She has also exhibited her work internationally, including London, Berlin, Iceland, Sao Paulo, Bangkok, Shanghai, and Taipei. Her dream is to build a mobile treehouse artist residence then travel together with all the artists to visit an Extraterrestrial highway.
