A History of Classical Malay Literature
This is a detailed, narrative–based history of Classical Malay Literature. It covers a wide range of Malay texts, including folk literature; the influence of the Indian epics and shadow theatre; Panji tales; the transition from Hindu to Muslim literary models; Muslim literature; framed tales; theological literature; historical literature; legal codes; and the dominant forms of poetry, the pantun and syair. The author describes the background to each of these particular literary periods. He engages in depth with specific texts, their various manuscripts, and their contents. In so doing, he draws attention to the historical complexity of tradisional Malay society, its worldviews, and its place within the wider framework of human experience. Dr. Liaw’s History of Classical Malay Literature will be of benefit to beginning students of Malay Literature and to established scholars alike. It can also be read with benefit by those with a wider interest in Comparative Literature and in Southeast Asian culture in general.
Kiai Istiqomah: Biografi RKH. Muhammad Syamsul Arifin
Biografi ini ditulis untuk memperingati 40 hari RKH. Muhammad Syamsul Arifin yang wafat pada 1 Juli 2021 silam. Selain menjadi pengasuh di Pesantren Pesantren Darul Ulum Banyuanyar, beliau aktif berkontribusi dalam Partai Persatuan Pembangunan. Kendati beliau konsisten mendukung Partai Persatuan Pembangunan, tetapi hal tersebut tidak membuatnya lantas meninggalkan pesantren, bahkan pesantren tetap menjadi prioritasnya. Dalam kesehariannya, Kiai Muhammad dikenal sebagai pribadi yang sederhana. Kesederhanaan pribadi Kiai Muhammad itu sungguh sangat terasa dan dirasakan banyak orang ketika ia telah menjadi seorang Kiai besar. Tidak hanya itu, sikapnya yang rendah hati dan pandai bergaul membuatnya disukai oleh orang-orang di sekelilingnya.
Selayang Pandang K.H. Raden As’ad Syamsul Arifin
KH. Raden As’ad Syamsul Arifin—atau yang lebih kondang disebut Kiai As’ad—merupakan salah satu tokoh penting NU dan sekaligus pejuang kemerdekaan Republik Indonesia. Kiprah dan sumbangsihnya bagi NU dan negara begitu besar. Jasa-jasanya terhadap nusa dan bangsa tidak terhitung jumlahnya. Untuk itulah, pada tahun 2016 lalu, pemerintah Indonesia memberinya (gelar) atau menobatkannya sebagai “Pahlawan Nasional Indonesia”. Namun, meski nama Kiai As’ad sudah dikenal banyak orang, terutama di kalangan warga Nahdliyin, tidak menutup kemungkinan masih banyak yang belum mengetahui kisah dan sejarah hidupnya, siapa sebenarnya Kiai As’ad itu, dan bagaimana pemikiran serta perjuangannya. Di dalam buku ini, pembahasan mengenai sejarah hidup Kiai As’ad disajikan dengan detail. Mulai dari sejarah kelahiran, silsilah keluarga, perjalanan pendidikan, sifat dan kepribadian, kiprah dan perannya dalam NU, perjuangannya mempertahankan kemerdekaan Indonesia, hingga kisah-kisah karamah yang dimilikinya. Juga tidak lupa, disajikan ulasan tentang pemikiran-pemikirannya dalam bidang pendidikan Islam.

Pintu rumah itu kini selalu tertutup. Suasana di dalam rumah di Jalan Jenggala I No. 4 di kawasan Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta, ini sangat lengang. Padahal, beberapa waktu lalu, rumah milik pengusaha Arifin Panigoro itu selalu riuh dengan datangnya mahasiswa dari berbagai kampus, Arifin Panigoro dengan mobilnya yang dirusak, 1998 antara lain karena tempat ini memang nyaman, luas, fasilitasnya lumayan komplet, dan yang paling penting, strategis.

Designing Low Carbon Societies in Landscapes
This book focuses on three major means of achieving a low carbon society: conservation of the ecosystem complex, changes of arrangement of landscapes, and creation of biodiversity. There are specific countermeasures to be taken for carbon absorption in the three types of landscapes—urban, cultural, and natural—because their carbon balances differ. Urban landscapes are promising sites because they have the potential for greening and the creation of biodiversity. Cultural landscapes in the tropics had not been actively researched until recently, but this book now presents a collection of several cases focused on those areas. Natural landscapes had existed in abundance in developing countri...
The Indonesian Economy
"Indonesia is one of the few countries that came through the global economic crisis in 2008-09 with positive economic growth. Despite some recorded positive domestic economic performances, Indonesia faces new challenges as its economy keeps growing and the global economy remains uncertain. A new economic development paradigm is needed to overcome old problems (poverty and unemployment, inadequate infrastructure, corruption, a complex regulatory environment, and unequal resource distribution among regions) with global market opportunities. This book provides a new perspective on how Indonesian’s economic policies should be developed by considering its past and future challenges." - Firmanza...
A Country in Despair
In late 1997 Indonesia's economy went into a tail-spin, culminating in social and political upheavals that saw Soeharto's resignation in May 1998, and resulting in a succession of presidents as Indonesia entered a period of democratization. These events are well known, even to casual observers, but Kees van Dijk has penned a magnificent account of Indonesia between 1997 and 2000 that fleshes out the story in rich detail and analysis. The volume itself closes as the soon to be ousted President Abdurrahman Wahid is facing two major corruption, collusion, and nepotism (korupsi, kolusi, and nepotisme or KKN) scandals and the political forces are arraying against him. The author has clearly sifte...
