After Office Hours
Setelah semua lampu dan komputer dimatikan, semua karyawan pulang, kantor menjadi lebih senyap daripada pekuburan. Tapi tak jarang satu-dua orang memberanikan diri bekerja lembur, menutup telinga dari suara-suara tanpa wujud, mengabaikan bayangan putih yang melintas di sudut mata. Mungkin kau pun pernah mengalaminya. Aku mendengar obrolan bisik-bisik dari ruang keuangan. Tidak jelas mereka membicarakan apa. Lega karena ternyata masih ada karyawan yang bekerja di lantai ini, aku bermaksud menyapa. Namun, pintu ruangan terkunci. Tunggu… itu bukan obrolan. Itu nyanyian. Dan ketika kuintip ke dalam dari balik jendela kaca, seseorang sedang menari di atas salah satu meja. Memunggungiku. Perempuan dengan daster putih terawang. Tangannya bergerak lentik seperti penari Bali. Sesekali dia melompat ke setiap meja sambil mendecakkan, "Cah… cah… cah…" Lalu, kepalanya meliuk-liuk cantik, dan rambut panjangnya berayun. Beberapa saat kemudian, dia menoleh. Dan wajahnya merah. Seperti Barong. [Mizan Publishing, Novel, Fantasi, Horror, Hantu, Indonesia]
Singgah
"Terminal, bandara, pelabuhan, stasiun: Tempat persinggahan, keberangkatan, perhentian. Ada banyak kisah tentang pertemuan dan perpisahan. Tentang orang-orang yang menanam kakinya di sana. Mereka yang berbagi luka dan cinta. Tentang rindu yang diam-diam dipendam. Tempat yang selalu ingar bingar, tetapi juga melesapkan sepi yang menggerogoti jiwa—tanpa suara. Seorang lelaki menapak tilas jejak kekasihnya yang hilang ke sebuah dermaga, lelaki lainnya memancing bintang. Di stasiun, pak tua berpeci lusuh duduk menanti mataharinya setiap dini hari. Di bandara, koper-koper tertukar, dan ada cinta yang menemukan pelabuhannya. Di terminal, panas kopi membakar lidah dan hati. Sebelas penulis merangkai kenangan di tempat tempat persinggahan. Mengantar pergi, menjemput pulang."
Perkara Mengirim Senja
Antologi ini memantik kreasi baru tanpa kehilangan napas awalnya seperti yang tersurat dalam senja yang memerangkap dua perempuan yang tanpa sengaja ter-jebak cinta bercabang, perselingkuhan seorang “istri setia” yang “dipasung” suaminya, suami tak setia yang diselingkuhi istrinya, hubungan perempuan-lelaki yang rumit tapi lucu, dusta cinta yang perlahan tersingkap kedoknya, patah hati yang unyu, serta pertanyaan-pertanyaan galau tentang hakikat cinta dan percintaan. " Sebagai penghormatan terhadap Seno Gumira Ajidarma, Perkara Mengirim Senja mewujud dalam rangkaian lima belas cerita karya empat belas pengarang dengan ber-bagai latar belakang dan gaya penulisan. Cerita-cerita ini merupakan penafsirulangan karya SGA yang dikarang oleh generasi penulis yang lebih segar. Diterbitkan oleh penerbit Serambi Ilmu Semesta" (Serambi Group)

Management for the Public Domain
In this important attempt to reorient the theory and practice of public management, Stewart Ranson and John Stewart argue that public organisations must be analysed in terms of the distinctive values, purposes, tasks and conditions of the public domain. They show how it is only on this basis that they can meet the needs of citizens in a mature democracy and support the processes of a learning society.
Mindfulness and Mental Health
Being mindful can help people feel calmer and more fully alive. Mindfulness and Mental Health examines other effects it can also have and presents a significant new model of how mindful awareness may influence different forms of mental suffering.

It looks at the roots and significance of mindfulness in Buddhist psychology and at the strengths and limitations of recent scientific investigations.

A Philosopher Looks at Science
What is science and what can it do? Nancy Cartwright here takes issue with three common images of science: that it amounts to the combination of theory and experiment; that all science is basically reducible to physics; and that science and the natural world which it pictures are deterministic. The author's innovative and thoughtful book draws on examples from the physical, life, and social sciences alike, and focuses on all the products of science – not just experiments or theories – and how they work together. She reveals just what it is that makes science ultimately reliable, and how this reliability is nevertheless still compatible with a view of nature as more responsive to human change than we might think. Her book is a call for greater intellectual humility by and within scientific institutions. It will have strong appeal to anyone who thinks about science and how it is practised in society.
