Think of the tales you may have heard about tribes that travel, carrying with them their families, livelihoods, and homes, only to move again in a couple of weeks, leaving nothing but footsteps. It is fascinating, and as if these tribes have a life so large it could be established anywhere â across towns, countries, and even borders.
This Wood issue encapsulates these lives led by the nomads of Asia, stories of powerful women, and a look at the unprecedented challenges facing China and the wider region due to the coronavirus pandemic. We have taken the element through its numerous definitions: growth and being, its physical properties, its shapes and forms, and its symbolism. Because just like bamboo, so symbolic of the wood element, we bend, we twist, but we never break.

Keep it real, keep it fun, keep it compellingâŠ
In this issue, we examine the origins of everything in the way of the human condition - from evolution, to artistic expression, to the birth of monotheistic faith, and the violent beginnings of modern warfare. We also take a look at how scientific developments are challenging everything we thought we knew about the origins of life and civilisation. We place current debates within historical context, such as the development of the war of drugs, and the mythical roots of Pokemon and popular gaming culture.
This issue compares the mobile phone scene in Asia and the West and delves into everything related to the gadget that has become very much a part of our everyday lives. We zoom in on apps, wireless networks, mobile service providers and phone manufacturers â the people and technologies that fuel the burgeoning global mobile phone market. We illustrate the evolution of the mobile phone and what actually goes into its production with informative timelines and carefully crafted infographics. In addition, we explore the problems and possibilities that come with the ever-evolving mobile phone scene. Be inspired by winning photographs from international mobile photography competitions in the mobile photography special and reminisce about pagers, phonebooks and other essentials that kept people connected in the past.

In order to witness the beauty of Natureâs tiniest marine creatures in their hidden habitats, weâve combed through the different layers that are found in the muck in this issue of Asian Diver. Whether itâs the plastic trash that has made its way into the oceans from polluted rivers that now provides shelter for critters like octopuses, the artificial tyre reefs humans have created to attract marine wildlife that may be doing more harm than good, or the diminutive marine organisms like the algae shrimp and the âShaun the Sheepâ nudibranch that live on the algae found on the seabed â weâve pored over the minutiae of the muck and its inhabitants to understand what makes this type of diving so thrilling.

Dive in some of Asia's glorious marine protected areas where life is thriving, find out what real eco-tourism is, find out why Wakatobi needs to be at the top of your bucket list, and how to get your buoyancy under control.

There is nothing so pure as donning a simple pair of fins, snapping on a mask, and chomping down on a snorkel bit before a beach entry into a silvery turquoise lagoon. Freediving is like a first love, the one that taught us how to move through this three-dimensional world. Together we felt the wonder at the profound beauty of life but also learned that without respect, all is lost. In this issue, Asian Diver looks at the evolution of freediving through the centuries, from its beginnings more than 7, 000 years ago in ancient cultures such as the Chinchorro to its current status as one of the most popular underwater sports in the world.

The 2019 edition of The Big Blue Book focuses on the perils of plastic pollution on the very source of life â the ocean. We look into the creation of plastic, its long life span, durability and opinions from prominent scientists on how plastics affect marine species â for example how microplastics affect coral reefs. We also investigate the solutions that can prevent further plastic pollution of our oceans so that marine species can be protected.

It is with great pride that ASIAN Geographic partakes in a major role as we celebrate 50 years of independence for Singapore. Being a proud Singapore company and publisher of coffee table book Singapore My Home, we will showcase the history, heritage, culture and wildlife of Singapore, along with Singaporeâs achievements over the years and uplifting moments during our growth as a nation.
In this issue, we unpack several health controversies and crises, from MSG to processed foods to the insect food revolution and diabetes. But itâs not all doom and gloom: The regionâs varied cuisine is an intangible part of its heritage. We pay homage to the enduring art of the longevity noodle â handmade and visually evocative. Asiaâs food culture is perhaps best summed up through the humble hawker, peddling the sheer diversity of this regionâs culinary innovation through their roadside food carts. But even the ubiquitous street food vendor faces an uncertain future, as regulators of hygiene standards and urban planning brandish eviction â or ârelocationâ â notices. Itâs time to eat smarter: to be more conscious of what we buy, how we waste, and what we ignore on that little label on the side of a can. Perhaps never before has this phrase been more weighty: "You are what you eat". Bon appĂ©tit!

This year, the quadrennial Asian Games â a massive sports event that often gets mixed up with some of its regional variants â will be hosted here in Southeast Asia. We appraise several local sports that set the Asiadâs lineup apart from its Olympic counterpart, and drop in on three unique sportspeople gearing up for August. But the 18th Gamesâ most interesting aspect could just be its return to Indonesia, a place where, over a half-century ago, Jakartaâs controversial hosting decisions shocked the 1960sâ worlds of sports and politics. Indonesian politics also kicks off another fascinating tale: how five Southeast Asian men managed to create the first Asian miracle of the 20th century: the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Helped by a few rounds of golf and drinks, these powerful diplomats succeeded in getting their respective countries â many with histories of bitter grudges and border invasions â to team up into a bloc that today still merits international admiration. Their surviving family and friends share memories of these master negotiators.

We will look at two decades of captivating photography and stunning art, as well as scientific discoveries and cultural exploration.
