Kita sebagai manusia, hanya beranjak dewasa atas nama cinta yang seakan bahagia, tanpa ada yang memberitahu soal kecewa yang datang beriringan. Seringkali kita dikejutkan dengan hal-hal yang berjudul anugerah Tuhan. Manusia yang datang dan pergi. Mimpi yang wujud dan waham. Buku ini menyatukan berbagai aspirasi kita menjadikan sebuah larik puisi yang indah, rangkaian puisi ini menjadi sebuah jejak kita beranjak tahun ke tahun. Kita sekarang mampu beranjak lebih karena adanya perasaan yang mengelilingi batin kita. Disini, kami, 30 manusia banyaknya, pandangan berbeda, yang bahkan tak seiras narasinya, akan berkisah. Tentang takut yang menyelimuti. Tentang tangan dari para sobat yang menggenggam. Hingga amarah yang tak dapat lagi terbungkam. Kecewa yang datang tanpa mengucap salam, dan tentu dengan akhir bahagia, tuntas semua rasa ketika menemukan seseorang yang merayakan semua hal-hal sepele kita. Buku ini memberikan kesempatan kepada siapapun jiwa yang menafsirkannya, untuk menyaksikan bagaimana kami mengolah rasa menjadi sajak-sajak indah.
A new and distinctive analysis of the dramatic fall of Soeharto, the last of the great Cold-War capitalist dictators, and of the struggles that reshape the institutions and systems of power and wealth in Indonesia.
Beginning with a general overview of nanocomposites, Bionanocomposites: Integrating Biological Processes for Bio-inspired Nanotechnologies details the systems available in nature (nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids) that can be integrated within suitable inorganic matrices for specific applications. Describing the relationship between architecture, hierarchy and function, this book aims at pointing out how bio-systems can be key components of nanocomposites. The text then reviews the design principles, structures, functions and applications of bionanocomposites. It also includes a section presenting related technical methods to help readers identify and understand the most widely used analytical tools such as mass spectrometry, calorimetry, and impedance spectroscopy, among others.

In this rich, eye-opening, and uplifting digital anthology, dozens of esteemed writers, poets, and artists from more than thirty countries send literary dispatches from life during the pandemic. Net proceeds benefit booksellers in need. As our world is transformed by the coronavirus pandemic, writers offer a powerful antidote to the fearful confines of isolation: a window onto lives and corners of the world beyond our own. In Mauritius, a journalist contends with denialism and mourns the last days of summer, lost to the lockdown. In Paris, a writer struggles to protect his young son from fear. In Chile, protesters who prevailed against tear gas and rubber bullets are now halted by a virus. I...
The first text to take a truly inter-disciplinary approach to critically examining the impacts of tourism on marine environments and coastal regions, focusing on the negative environmental impacts but also looking at the social and economic context of marine tourism and coastal zone management. The book sets tourism against the background of the crisis facing our oceans due to climate change and the effects of global warming. Tourism adds another layer of challenges for our marine environment, and its rapid growth globally means that these challenges have grown dramatically in recent years. We have seen a number of trends in the relationship between tourism and our oceans which pose a threat...
Scientists have identified southern China as a likely epicenter for viral pandemics, a place where new viruses emerge out of intensively farmed landscapes and human--animal interactions. In Virulent Zones, Lyle Fearnley documents the global plans to stop the next influenza pandemic at its source, accompanying virologists and veterinarians as they track lethal viruses to China's largest freshwater lake, Poyang Lake. Revealing how scientific research and expert agency operate outside the laboratory, he shows that the search for origins is less a linear process of discovery than a constant displacement toward new questions about cause and context. As scientists strive to understand the environm...
Medieval England, a prince's love is torn apart at the hands of a hired assassin. Four hundred years later his spirit is reincarnated to the body of James Scott who is inspired to create music following a visit from the ghost of his friend who was killed by a mobster. By the grace of a bird spirit he surmounts a tragic childhood of murder and sexual abuse. He meets John Lennon and is compelled to leave home. Starving and alone he encounters a mysterious hermit who guides him towards success. He emerges from the turmoil of addiction, fame and corruption, to be reunited with his love from centuries past, completing the circle.
"The field of metamaterials arose from a deeper understanding of how electromagnetic waves interact with materials and subwavelength-scaled scattering structures. This opened up the field of metamaterials or engineered materials through advances in understanding how material properties not found in nature could be designed along with advances in fabrication capabilities. Metamaterial advances span the electromagnetic spectrum, with examples being more common at lower (e.g., microwave) frequencies. The microwave or x-band regime has proven to be a good testbed for the first generation of metamaterials, but recently we have seen optical and IR metamaterials emerging as well. The exploitation o...
This book analyzes the changes brought on to economic and business activities in Latin America due to the new scenarios, environments and social dynamics the world is facing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, at both micro- and macroeconomic levels. Recent changes to working environments has brought discussions on work-life balance to the forefront, and creating support mechanisms to attract and retain the next generation of workers has become a primary focus for talent managers. At an industry level, there are expectations that once the crisis passes, there will be massive capital inflows toward ESG investments in emerging markets driving the transformation of companies. Consequently, ES...
