Minxin Pei: Listed among his five books on his favourites list via the Sacramento Bee newspaper in late 2014. "Pei has been a contributor to a number of periodicals, including The China Quarterly, The New York Times,[4] Foreign Policy, China Today, The Diplomat,[5] and Foreign Affairs,[6] and a frequent guest commentator on CNN, and National Public Radio, among others." --Wikipedia
This is a book that is a kind of a hand-book for Tibetan's or those who may have an interest in the historical background of Tibet that has led to the current situation. The cover on the right was designed by Leyre Castro a Spanish artist who, ironically, has travelled to Ladakh and experienced Tibetan culture and has provided a few photos that are included. So, I said to Leyre, design a chariot with the industrialism of a Hummer to illustrate Beijing's forcefulness within Tibet and their strength to maintain control at all costs. She came up with this concept and I offered suggestions here and there. It is an ugly cover like the situation in Tibet, although with its own grace.

This is a follow up with an up to date account of the situation in Tibet. A sort of "White Paper" if you will.
Dr. Lo was simply the hardest working Professor that I have come across and is so well informed in the realm of Political Science and International Studies. Sonny is a prolific author of many full length books on Asian politics and is a regular columnist on Macau and Hong Kong affairs in Southeast Asia.

"Kevin was one of my best students at the University of Waterloo. His sharp political insights and shrewd analyses could be seen in his commentaries on a whole range of issues, including Tibet's development and relations with the central government in Beijing. His works are provocative, insightful, critical and penetrating."

by Kevin Joseph Kieswetter (Author), Leire Ramos Castro (Illustrator)
China's insistence on sovereignty over Tibet has caused furor on the Tibetan Plateau since the Dalai Lama fled to Dharamsala, India in 1959. The rise in self-immolations is cause for concern within the International Community that help is required to temper Chinese oppression against Tibetans and Buddhist culture. I spend a good portion in this book refuting China's claim to Tibet and offering facts along the way.
PROFESSIONAL AWARDS
• Chariots of Fire: A Tibetan Historical Perspective: Recommended Reading - Agency & Strategy in Non Western Political Thought. University of St. Andrews- Scotland. 2016 - 2022 ((Acknowledgement))
• Sameer Ahuja Award for perseverance in academic studies from University of Waterloo (2006)
• Manager of the Year’ for the Naturalizer Canadian Division based on best store performance in sales and management (1991
• ‘Best Increase in Sales’ award for “Highest Increase in Sales” over budget for the Canadian Division (1991)
- These final two were from a previous life as a manager. I list them because 1991 was an incredibly challenging year. The right staff hires and training, attention to detail, and laser focus made the year a successful one. Ultimately, a move to academia was the correct move that could only be achieved part time due to previous commitments and health issues.
