Reason and Passion
This book provides a historical and ethnographic examination of gender relations in Malay society, in particular in the well-known state of Negeri Sembilan, famous for its unusual mixture of Islam and matrilineal descent. Peletz analyzes the diverse ways in which the evocative, heavily gendered symbols of "reason" and "passion" are deployed by Malay Muslims.

Hijrah Zaman Now
Bukan proses mudah bagi seseorang yang sedang melalui fase lebih dekat dengan penciptanya. Fase di mana ia harus berjibaku dengan hawa nafsunya. Banyak rintangan yang harus dilalui dengan berbagai ujian dan cobaan dari-Nya. Kadar keimanan yang naik turun menjadi ujian terberat baginya. Orang yang melihatnya mungkin akan berkomentar, "Hidupmu belum seberapa", Namun bagi para penulis dalam buku ini, menjadi suatu pengalaman mendalam dan tak akan pernah dilupakan seumur hidupnya. Sedih, haru, serta bahagia mengiringi setiap episode kisahnya. Buku ini berkisah tentang perjuangan para penulis wanita yang selalu berproses menjadi pilihan pribadi yang dicintai oleh-Nya. Akankah ia terus melangkah dengan perubahannya? Ataukah menyerah begitu saja? Hanya tekad dalam dirinya. Serta rida Illahi yang menguatkannya.
Women Warriors for Allah
Dutch investigative journalists Janny Groen and Annieke Kranenberg offer an indispensable corrective to the conventional view that Muslim women in jihad are either pacifist nurturers who steer their husbands and brothers away from violence or passive bystanders who play a mere supporting role in networks run by domineering men.

Same-sex relations, transvestism and cross-gender behaviour have long been noted amongst a wide range of Indonesian peoples.

The Goldfish Bowl
This is not where I saw myself in five years. It’s not where I said I’d be during the job interview either. Now I’m stuck in a low-level, dead-end job I have no interest in. At least I’m good at what I do – that’s something, I guess. So, when I uncover suspicious activity on a new account that threatens to launder hundreds of millions through the company I work for, I report it to my superiors, going through all the official channels exactly like you are supposed to. But what do you do when they refuse to take suspicions seriously? How far do you go when you only suspect a crime is happening? What desperate measures do you resort to in order to bring these crimes to light, especially when there’s the possibility of losing everything?
