God of the Earth
Author:   Ho Thean Fook
Publisher: Perak Academy

Ho Thean Fook portrays Malaya at the beginning of the 20th century through the eyes of his grandfather as a child. This book is about the experiences of Pak Foo, a boy growing up in Papan, a small mining town in Perak. For Pak Foo there are fighting spiders and crickets to catch, Chinese classes to attend, 'wild rat' mines and wooden dredges to explore, weddings and festivals to celebrate, and ghosts and a monster serpent to encounter. Under the author's magical touch, the people of Papan spring to life, drawn in all their ordinariness and in vivid colours. These are tales about squatters, rich towkays, beggers, school teachers and matchmakers.

IPOH : When Tin was King
Author:
Ho Tak Ming
Publisher: Perak Academy

She did not become the capital of the State of Perak until she had reached the Biblical age of three score and ten, and even then not by the deliberation of her founders or administrators but by the fiat of a brief wartime occupier. She was not even capital of the Kinta district, although within twenty years of her existence, she far outstripped the district's administrative headquarters. In spite of being sidelined as an "official town" by the Colonial Government, Ipoh could still consider herself the most favoured of Malayan towns. For she had one thing in abundance - TIN! Tin gave Ipoh more millionaires than any other Malayan towns; it gave her confidence and vibrancy; it gave her a soul.

IPOH WHEN TIN WAS KING is the story of Ipoh's Golden Age, an era that is now shrouded in the mist of time, but which present-day Ipohites can take pride in and draw inspiration from.

Kinta Valley
( Pioneering Malaysia's Modern Development
Authors: Khoo Salma Nasution / Ninian Smart
Publisher: Perak Academy

Kinta Valley in Perak, West Malaysia is the ancient home of the indigenous Senoi, and the realm of the Datoh Panglima Kinta and other Malay chiefs. After British intervention, this secluded basin was exploited for the secrets of its earth - tin. More tin has been produced from Kinta than from any other district in the world. This richly illustrated book details the development, from the later 19th century, of the many charming towns of Kinta. It charts the rise of Ipoh as the "hub of Malaysia", and the vicissitudes of tin and rubber booms and busts.
