Book review: Shining a light on Taiwan
David Pendery’s latest book is an excellent, well-informed, balanced and very clearly written look at what makes Taiwan unique
By Bradley Winterton / Contributing reporter
In Taiwan A Light in the East David Pendery aims to create “a systematic, relevant and in essence scholarly (if somewhat easygoing and personal) study of important issues and topics in Taiwan.”
In my review of an earlier Pendery book, Something Super (the Taipei Times, April 2, 2013), I said that the book had two heroes, Taiwan and the author himself. This time the emphasis is firmly on Taiwan. Pendery is very interested in politics, though admitting his “Chinese skills are not advanced enough that I can read political news in every newspaper and understand every statement that politicians make.”

Owner Danny Caldwell of Poteau, Okla. celebrates his 1,000th career Thoroughbred victory.
Remington Park s all-time winningest owner, Danny Caldwell of Poteau, Okla., hit all kinds of milestones on Monday evening, including clinching at least a tie for top owner of the meet.
He was extremely close to clinching the owner title for himself, needing one more win to eliminate Steve Asmussen going into the ninth race. Caldwell s horse Hansens Mischief crossed the finish line first but was disqualified for bumping the runner-up Euromantic in the stretch. Now, Asmussen at 24 wins, must win with all three of his starters on closing day Tuesday, and Caldwell would have to lose with all five of his entrants for there to be a tie. If one Asmussen-owned horse loses, Caldwell, who already has 27 wins, would be the solo winner.
