Adriana
“Jika karpet itu berganti lima kali, aku akan menjumpaimu di tempat dua ular saling berlilitan pada tongkatnya, saat Proklamasi dibacakan.” Siapa yang peduli dengan karpet tua depan lift di Perpustakaan Nasional, apalagi tentang kapan bergantinya? Mungkin hanya Mamen… dan cintanya. Ya, cinta yang diuji oleh Adriana dalam teka-teki demi teka-teki. “Harinya adalah tiga hari setelah Fatahillah mengusir Portugis dari Pelabuhan Sunda Kelapa. Masanya sampai pada Perang Diponegoro. Namun orang-orang merana itu tahu, saat mati, jasad mereka akan merana terkubur jauh dari tanah tumpah darah mereka sendiri. Aku yang menunggumu adalah Adriana, pada mimpinya yang tak pernah mati.” Patung demi ...

Global Political Ecology
The world is caught in the mesh of a series of environmental crises. So far attempts at resolving the deep basis of these have been superficial and disorganized. Global Political Ecology links the political economy of global capitalism with the political ecology of a series of environmental disasters and failed attempts at environmental policies. This critical volume draws together contributions from twenty-five leading intellectuals in the field. It begins with an introductory chapter that introduces the readers to political ecology and summarizes the books main findings. The following seven sections cover topics on the political ecology of war and the disaster state; fuelling capitalism: e...
Clipped
Clipped is a quirky memoir about a new mother whose desperation to get her baby to sleep catapulted her into becoming an inventor and a small business owner-just before the world fell apart in 2008. As a full-time mother and entrepreneur, Adrienne Alitowski rolled out her invention, blankyclip(R), to retailers across the country, including over thirty stores in the Buy Buy Baby national chain. LA Parent Expecting and Kids Today both made blankyclip a "Top Pick." The United States Patent and Trademark Office awarded her three utility patents and a trademark. All that fabulous glory aside, Adrienne also learned what it's like to fly halfway around the world to a Chinese factory and to be pregnant, throwing up on the street just before an investor meeting. These experiences led her down a path to write this memoir about sticking to your vision and being open to finding gold in the muck.
Making Meaning
David Bordwell's new book is at once a history of film criticism, an analysis of how critics interpret film, and a proposal for an alternative program for film studies. It is an anatomy of film criticism meant to reset the agenda for film scholarship. As such Making Meaning should be a landmark book, a focus for debate from which future film study will evolve. Bordwell systematically maps different strategies for interpreting films and making meaning, illustrating his points with a vast array of examples from Western film criticism. Following an introductory chapter that sets out the terms and scope of the argument, Bordwell goes on to show how critical institutions constrain and contain the...
Registers of Communication
In any society, communicative activities are organized into models of conduct that differentiate specific social practices from each other and enable people to communicate with each other in ways distinctive to those practices. The articles in this volume investigate a series of locale-specific models of communicative conduct, or registers of communication, through which persons organize their participation in varied social practices, including practices of politics, religion, schooling, migration, trade, media, verbal art, and ceremonial ritual. Drawing on research traditions on both sides of the Atlantic, the authors of these articles bring together insights from a variety of scholarly disciplines, including linguistics, anthropology, folklore, literary studies, and philology. They describe register models associated with a great many forms of interpersonal behavior, and, through their own multi-year and multi-disciplinary collaborative efforts, bring register phenomena into focus as features of social life in the lived experience of people in societies around the world.
