Dalam Buku Kebenaran dari Timur Vol. 1 dan 2, saya fokus mengulas tokoh-tokoh besar yang hadir di dunia sejak masa yang sangat kuno — untuk menjalani peran mereka sebagai "Pemberi dampak besar" dalam perjalanan sejarah umat manusia (dalam hal baik maupun hal buruk). Tema penting seperti asal-usul bahasa (etimologi), kosmologi, serta simbol-simbol — sebagai "instrumen peradaban" yang mendasari terbangunnya peradaban sejak di tahap paling awal — juga saya bahas dalam buku ini. Tidak terlewatkan, interpretasi nubuat dari berbagai tradisi agama, suku dan budaya di dunia. Selain berisi tanda-tanda yang mengawali dimulainya fase akhir zaman, nubuat tersebut juga berisi informasi tentang akan hadirnya satu sosok yang menjalani perannya sebagai tokoh kunci "Penyelamat" di akhir zaman. Satu sosok dengan begitu banyak nama atau sebutan.

Above all, this book is an outstanding report valuable to those who are interested to delve into the core of Javanese culture and to the deliberation of social science in general.

In general, comprehensive grammars are a rarity. The SignGram Blueprint is an innovative tool for the grammar writer: a full-fledged guide to describing all components of the grammars of sign languages in a thorough and systematic way, and with the highest scientific standards. The work builds on the exi...
Over the past decades, the field of sign language linguistics has expanded considerably. Recent research on sign languages includes a wide range of subdomains such as reference grammars, theoretical linguistics, psycho- and neurolinguistics, sociolinguistics, and applied studies on sign languages and Deaf communities.
