Book Description
Dear Diary, I never thought I'd say this—I'm going camping, OUTDOORS, on Pulau Ubin overnight. It's not like I had a choice, because it counts towards our grades. Luckily, Pink, my BFF, will be there with me. All I have to do is survive one night, right? After all, what could go wrong in the JUNGLE? The best thing about going to Pulau Ubin is the chance to get away from little brother Alex and his spider. But Rosie soon comes face to face with monitor lizards, bats and a haunted house. Ahhh! Not only that, she gets lost! Thank goodness her best friends Pink and Ben are with her, and together they try to find their way to the camp site. One thing's for sure—life in Singapore is exciting!

The Jungle Grows Back
Author: Robert Kagan
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0525521666
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
"An incisive, elegantly written, new book about America’s unique role in the world." --Tom Friedman, The New York Times A brilliant and visionary argument for America's role as an enforcer of peace and order throughout the world--and what is likely to happen if we withdraw and focus our attention inward. Recent years have brought deeply disturbing developments around the globe. American sentiment seems to be leaning increasingly toward withdrawal in the face of such disarray. In this powerful, urgent essay, Robert Kagan elucidates the reasons why American withdrawal would be the worst possible response, based as it is on a fundamental and dangerous misreading of the world. Like a jungle that keeps growing back after being cut down, the world has always been full of dangerous actors who, left unchecked, possess the desire and ability to make things worse. Kagan makes clear how the "realist" impulse to recognize our limitations and focus on our failures misunderstands the essential role America has played for decades in keeping the world's worst instability in check. A true realism, he argues, is based on the understanding that the historical norm has always been toward chaos--that the jungle will grow back, if we let it.
