Mencari Telur Garuda (Jilid Kedua)
Setelah 12 tahun jilid pertama terbit, buku ini kembali hadir dengan 75 persen penambahan isi. Buku ini menghidupkan ingatan bersama dan sekaligus menggelitik kritisisme bagaimana Garuda ditafsirkan dan diperlakukan sejak dalam proses menjadi lambang negara. Membaca buku ini tiba-tiba saja kita (di)dekat(kan) kembali kepada memori masa silam dengan (visual) Garuda di rumah atau gapura kampung. Lalu, dari buku ini kita tertawa bercampur ironi melihat penampakan Garuda di kehidupan harian, baik dalam lingkup birokrasi negara maupun lingkup (suku) bangsa di berbagai kampung di perkotaan maupun perdesaan. ***** “Cara pandang unik terhadap lambang Garuda Pancasila dari aspek visual sosiologisnya dan asal usul penciptaan” ~ GARIN NUGROHO, sutradara film "... sosok burung garuda berungsi sebagai sarana untuk mewujudkan imajinasi kita, mengingatkan kita terus-menerus, tentang sebuah bangsa dan negara, sebuah negara-bangsa: Indonesia" ~ KRIS BUDIMAN, penulis dan pengajar "Apa yang disampaikan dalam buku ini menyadarkan kita tentang lambang resmi negara yang menjadi 'tidak ada'karena sudah tidak lagi jadi subjek yang dianggap penting" ~ M. DWI MARIANTO, kurator seni
Man Tiger
A wry, affecting tale set in a small town on the Indonesian coast, Man Tiger tells the story of two interlinked and tormented families and of Margio, a young man ordinary in all particulars except that he conceals within himself a supernatural female white tiger. The inequities and betrayals of family life coalesce around and torment this magical being. An explosive act of violence follows, and its mysterious cause is unraveled as events progress toward a heartbreaking revelation. Lyrical and bawdy, experimental and political, this extraordinary novel announces the arrival of a powerful new voice on the global literary stage.
The Geography of Genius
An acclaimed travel writer examines the connection between surroundings and innovative ideas, profiling examples in such regions as early-twentieth-century Vienna, Renaissance Florence, ancient Athens, and Silicon Valley. --Publisher.
Aku & Buku #1
Menarik menyimak bacaan dan cerita tentang literasi dari orang-orang yang kini banyak memberikan manfaat kepada masyarakat. Mereka berkisah tentang berbagai macam buku bacaan yang sudah mereka tekuni sejak kecil. Tak semudah sekarang, mereka membaca buku saat pasokan buku di tanah air sangat minim. Atau buku yang mereka gemari ternyata masuk dalam daftar buku terlarang oleh pemerintah. Tetapi mereka masih bandel membaca meski dalam kegelapan di balik selimut dengan penerangan lampu sorot atau senter.

The Question of Red
From award-winning Indonesian author Laksmi Pamuntjak comes a tale of profound love against the backdrop of myth, culture, and politics. In this sweeping saga of love, loss, revolution, and the resilience of the human spirit, Amba must find the courage to forge her own path. Amba was named after a tragic figure in Indonesian mythology, and she spends her lifetime trying to invent a story she can call her own. When she meets two suitors who fit perfectly into her namesake's myth, Amba cannot help but feel that fate is teasing her. Salwa, respectful to a fault, pledges to honor and protect Amba, no matter what. Bhisma, a sophisticated, European-trained doctor, offers her sensual pleasures and a world of ideas. But military coups and religious disputes make 1960s Indonesia a place of uncertainty, and the chaos strengthens Amba's pursuit of freedom. The more Amba does to claim her own story, the better she understands her inextricable bonds to history, myth, and love. Revised edition: This edition of The Question of Red includes editorial revisions.
Heirs to World Culture
This volume brings together new scholarship by Indonesian and non-Indonesian scholars on Indonesia’s cultural history from 1950-1965. During the new nation’s first decade and a half, Indonesia’s links with the world and its sense of nationhood were vigorously negotiated on the cultural front. Indonesia used cultural networks of the time, including those of the Cold War, to announce itself on the world stage. International links, post-colonial aspirations and nationalistic fervour interacted to produce a thriving cultural and intellectual life at home. Essays discuss the exchange of artists, intellectuals, writing and ideas between Indonesia and various countries; the development of cultural networks; and ways these networks interacted with and influenced cultural expression and discourse in Indonesia. With contributions by Keith Foulcher, Liesbeth Dolk, Hairus Salim HS, Tony Day, Budiawan, Maya H.T. Liem, Jennifer Lindsay, Els Bogaerts, Melani Budianta, Choirotun Chisaan, I Nyoman Darma Putra, Barbara Hatley, Marije Plomp, Irawati Durban Ardjo, Rhoma Dwi Aria Yuliantri and Michael Bodden.

Teach Like Finland: 33 Simple Strategies for Joyful Classrooms
The best-selling book of easy-to-implement classroom lessons from the world’s premier educational system—now available in paperback. Finland shocked the world when its fifteen-year-olds scored highest on the first Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), a set of tests evaluating critical-thinking skills in math, science, and reading. That was in 2001; even today, this tiny Nordic nation continues to amaze. How does Finnish education—with short school days, light homework loads, and little standardized testing—produce students who match the PISA scores of other nations with more traditional “work ethic” standards? When Timothy Walker started teaching fifth graders a...
