Bencana Alam di Bali dalam Perspektif Ilmu Geografi
Bali adalah gabungan epik antara keindahan alam tropis dan ancaman bencana alam yang mengintai. Dari perspektif ilmu geografi, Bali terletak di Cincin Api Pasifik, kawasan yang dikenal dengan aktivitas vulkanik dan gempa bumi yang tinggi. Aktivitas geologis ini mempengaruhi morfologi pulau, membentuk pegunungan yang indah namun rentan terhadap erosi dan longsor. Selain itu, dengan pemanasan global, ancaman kenaikan permukaan laut, perubahan musim dan badai tropis juga meningkat, mengancam keberlanjutan ekosistem pesisir dan daratan Bali. Buku ini tidak hanya menggambarkan kerentanan geografis Pulau Bali terhadap bencana, tetapi juga bagaimana seharusnya masyarakat lokal dan pemerintah bekerja sama dalam mitigasi dan adaptasi untuk melindungi kehidupan dan keindahan pulau ini. Buku ini dapat menjadi gambaran ringkas namun mendalam tentang hubungan kompleks antara geografi, bencana, dan manusia di Pulau Dewata.
Creating Hawai'i Tourism
In his memoir Creating Hawai'i Tourism, Robert C. Allen, a leader in the tourism-related ground transportation, airline, hotel, and cruise industries, describes the events and people that transformed Hawai'i from a small resort into a world-class tourist mecca. Allen includes them all: the hotels, airlines, travel agents, beachboys, musicians, and, most important, the builders, the men and women who propelled Hawai'i to the forefront of the visitor industry.
The Cambridge History of the Kurds
The Cambridge History of the Kurds is an authoritative and comprehensive volume exploring the social, political and economic features, forces and evolution amongst the Kurds, and in the region known as Kurdistan, from the fifteenth to the twenty-first century. Written in a clear and accessible style by leading scholars in the field, the chapters survey key issues and themes vital to any understanding of the Kurds and Kurdistan including Kurdish language; Kurdish art, culture and literature; Kurdistan in the age of empires; political, social and religious movements in Kurdistan; and domestic political developments in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Other chapters on gender, diaspora, political economy, tribes, cinema and folklore offer fresh perspectives on the Kurds and Kurdistan as well as neatly meeting an exigent need in Middle Eastern studies. Situating contemporary developments taking place in Kurdish-majority regions within broader histories of the region, it forms a definitive survey of the history of the Kurds and Kurdistan.
The Flagellants
"The Flagellants is the story of the romantic relationship between Ideal and Jimson. After a brief prologue establishing Ideal's childhood connection to a black community called "the Bottom," the novel unfolds as a series of arguments between the couple, representing the historical gender conflicts between black men and women."--ENotes.
Showdown with the Shepherd
Over 1 million sold in series! The key to adventure lies within your imagination! Cousins Patrick and Beth go to the Holy Land in the tenth century BC. Their goal is to get back the ring Hugh stole and return him to 1450s England where he belongs. But troubles await them as soon as they step out of the Imagination Station. First they meet an angry bear and later an angry giant. Set against the backdrop of the David and Goliath story, the cousins learn that having a giant faith is more important than having a giant on your side.
Alberto Breccia's Dracula
Alberto Breccia's Dracula is composed of a series of brutally funny satirical misadventures starring the hapless eponymous antihero. Literally defanged (a humiliating trip to the dentist doesn’t help), the protagonist’s glory days are long behind him and other, more sinister villains (a corrupt government, overtly backed by American imperialism) are sickening and draining the life out of the villagers far more than one creature of the night ever could. This is the first painted, full-color entry in Fantagraphics’ artist-focused Alberto Breccia Library, and the atmospheric palette adds mood and dimension. It also includes a sketchbook showing the artist’s process.
Out of the Blue
Both volumes of the WWII aerial combat classic now in one complete softcover edition! A WAR IS A DIFFICULT THING TO KILL The Second World War is almost over, but no one seems to have told the Germans - as Royal Air Force pilot Jamie McKenzie finds out when he's assigned to deadly shipping strikes along the enemy coast. Flying the Mosquito fighter-bomber against heavily armed targets is dangerous enough at the best of times, but after incurring the wrath of his vengeful commanding officer, Jamie is assigned the most unpopular navigator in the unit- not to mention the least reliable aircraft. Worse still, the commander's sights are firmly set on Jamie's beautiful young wife, Beth. Writer Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys) and artist Keith Burns (War Stories) re-unite after the success of their series Johnny Red, presenting another tale of World War Two aerial combat - featuring skies black with flak and enemy fighters, nail-biting low-level action, and the dark humor of men whose lives can be snatched away at any second... Out of the Blue.
