THE ART OF SOLITUDE: What I Think About When IÕm on My Own (ed. Bhs Inggris)
If there is one thing that the Covid 19 Pandemic has taught us, it is how to deal with being alone. Quarantine and Social Distancing, while keeping us away from each other, has forced us to confront that person we normally have the least time for. Which is our own Self. The Self that we have neglected and ignored during our busy lives interacting with the outside world, but which many of us could no longer avoid as we spend more time at home and shy away from public places. We can however, turn these difficult times into a learning lesson that is both transformative and beneficial. Reducing our social interactions allows us more time for self-reflection and for reconnecting with our selves. ...
A Simple Life (Edisi Bahasa Inggris)
If there's one thing we're good at, is making our lives complicated. We fill it with expectations, anxieties and fears. We fret about the past, we worry about the future, we ignore the present. We seek fulfi llment in material things and happiness in wishful thinking, often at the expense of the riches that already surround us. A Simple Life is a collection of musings, observations and thoughts that Desi Anwar gathers from her experience, childhood recollections and perspectives, as well as habits she tries to adopt in navigating the complexities of our every day life. Ordinary things such as appreciating Nature, fi nding time to sit back and relax, developing a cheerful and positive attitude, taking care of our physical and mental health, keeping an open mind and a host of other things that may seem simple on the surface, but often diffi cult to achieve because we seldom give ourselves the time for it. And yet, these are the very things that can make us feel truly content and give meaning to our lives. Read the essays at your leisure, fi nd inspiration from the anecdotes and make the book a friend when you need comfort and cheering up anytime of the week.
INDONESIAʼS POLICY AND REGULATION OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY - Optimising Geothermal Utilisation
The lack of academic references on geothermal law is my primary motivation to write this book to provide insight for the academic world, lecturers, students, activists, government officials and the public interested in energy issues, particularly geothermal. This book will provide comprehensive references in geothermal law and policy, including a global perspective of energy, geothermal potential in Indonesia, borderless concept of geothermal management, challenges in geothermal utilisation in the country, and a comparative perspective of geothermal utilisation in New Zealand. It also highlighted reformulation geothermal legal formation.
Scandal and Democracy
Successful transitions to enduring democracy are both difficult and rare. In Scandal and Democracy, Mary E. McCoy explores how newly democratizing nations can avoid reverting to authoritarian solutions in response to the daunting problems brought about by sudden change. The troubled transitions that have derailed democratization in nations worldwide make this problem a major concern for scholars and citizens alike. This study of Indonesia's transition from authoritarian rule sheds light on the fragility not just of democratic transitions but of democracy itself and finds that democratization's durability depends, to a surprising extent, on the role of the media, particularly its airing of po...
Indonesian Destinies
How can such a gentle people as we are be so murderous? a prominent Indonesian asks. That question--and the mysteries of the archipelago's vast contradictions--haunt Theodore Friend's remarkable work, a narrative of Indonesia during the last half century, from the postwar revolution against Dutch imperialism to the unrest of today. Part history, part meditation on a place and a past observed firsthand, Indonesian Destinies penetrates events that gave birth to the world's fourth largest nation and assesses the continuing dangers that threaten to tear it apart. Friend reveals Sukarno's character through wartime collaboration with Japan, and Suharto's through the mass murder of communists that ...
OFFLINE: Finding Yourself in the Age of Distractions
This collection of reflections is to remind us of some of the things we can turn our distracted minds to, when we can direct our attention to what are in front of us, above us, and more importantly, within us, using all the senses that we were all born with. They are a rediscovery of some of the things we have forgotten how to do or have put aside in favour of our allconsuming electronic toys, and an attempt to help us reconnect once more with our senses and our natural gifts. So, why not put your smart phones, tablets, games, gadgets and anything with a screen, down for a few minutes. Take a deep breath and look up. Because at the end of the day, it is not just any journey we are making, but a journey to discover and appreciate who we are and what makes us human.

Indonesia
In this timely work, leading scholars analyze the causes of the social, political, and economic crises that erupted in Indonesia in the late 1990s, the responses of the elite and civil society, and the prospects for continuing reform. In the process, they explore such issues as the relevance of the nation-state in an age of globalization, the role of Islam in politics and violence, the strengths and weaknesses of a negotiated route to democratic governance, the relationship of corruption and structural reform to economic growth, and the prospects for stability in Southeast Asia. The first book to grapple with the scale and complexity of this historic transition, this work offers a clear and compelling introduction to the Indonesian experience for students with an interest in the problems of post-colonial states, to scholars in comparative Asian studies, and to anyone seeking a serious yet accessible introduction to the world's largest Islamic democracy.
