Pena Sejuta Rasa (Penerbit Pustaka Tunggal)
Aku tersentak. Memaki diriku sendiri dalam hati. Aku tak tahu, apakah keputusanku untuk bergabung dengannya adalah sebuah kesalahan. Namun mau bagaimana lagi, tak ada orang yang mau bergabung dengan diriku yang over talk. Atau mungkin memang diriku yang ingin dekat-dekat dengan dirinya. Tak ada pilihan lain. Aku mengusap dada. Sabar, Sarah…! Fighting...! Lantas aku mengejar ketertinggalan langkahku mengikuti lelaki jutek itu. “Oke, aku janji nggak bakalan telat lagi. Sorry, ya?” Tak ada jawaban. Galih hanya tersenyum kecut. Dia menikmati pergantian langkahnya sembari menghunjamkan pandangannya ke sawah yang menghampar. “Nng... apa tempatnya masih jauh? Dari tadi belum nyampe-nyampe juga. Kakiku mulai pegal, nih,” keluhku. “Lo capek? Kalo gitu ngapain lo ngikutin gue? Mendingan lo diem aja di rumah.” “Euum... nggak, kok. Tenang aja, aku kuat kok. Perjalanan segini tuh nggak ada apa-apanya,” kataku kikuk. Lelaki jutek itu hanya mendengus. Wajah tampannya terlihat menyebalkan. Namun tak urung aku tetap bisa bertahan, dan tetap mengoceh walau dia tak menimpaliku di sepanjang perjalanan. document.getElementById('_getDocumentWindow').onclick(window);
Revolution and World Politics
Reassesses the role of revolution as a force that has shaped the development of world politics.
Elites, Crises, and the Origins of Regimes
Most political regimes, whether authoritarian or democratic, are born in abrupt, brutal, and momentous crises. In this volume, a group of prominent scholars explores how these seminal events affect elites and shape regimes. Combining theoretical and case study chapters, the authors draw from a wide range of historical and contemporary examples to challenge mainstream developmental explanations of political change, which emphasize incremental changes and evolutions stretching over generations.
Rethinking the Soviet Experience
Written in 1985, this book cuts through the Cold War stereotypes of the Soviet Union to arrive at fresh interpretations of that country's traumatic history and later political realities. The author probes Soviet history, society, and politics to explain how the U.S.S.R. remained stable from revolution through the mid-1980s.
A Profile of the Global Auto Industry
This is the first book on the global auto industry viewed through the lens of technology. It starts by tracing how innovation shaped the first century of its history, then it examines the industry’s shifting footprint in Europe and North America, and the rise of new producers, particularly China. Succeeding chapters emphasize the role of suppliers in what is now a high-tech industry. This book describes new forms of collaboration that challenge traditional supply chain relations, analyzing regulation as a driver of innovation, and the enabling role of the materials science revolution, such as the shift of steel from a commodity to a highly engineered product. It covers innovations in management, from computer-aided engineering, roadmapping, and just-in-time methods to the evolving role of workers and public policy. The authors finish with an overview of electric vehicles, shared mobility, and autonomous vehicles, concluding that they will not prove disruptive.
A Research Agenda for Entrepreneurship and Context
There is growing recognition that entrepreneurship can be better understood within its context(s). This carefully designed book invites readers to take a journey: from reflecting critically on where the discussion on context and entrepreneurship stands today towards identifying future research questions and themes that deserve the attention of entrepreneurship scholars. This collection draws attention to the research challenges the entrepreneurship field faces by reviewing the many facets of contexts and by reflecting on methods and theoretical approaches that are required in order to contextualize entrepreneurship research. Students and academics interested in context and entrepreneurship will benefit from this far-reaching and forward-thinking book.
Dimensions of Register Variation
Douglas Biber's new book extends and refines the research and methodology reported in his ground breaking Variation Across Speech and Writing (CUP 1988). In Dimensions of Register Variation he gives a linguistic analysis of register in four widely differing languages: English, Nukulaelae Tuvaluan, Korean, and Somali. Using the multi-dimensional analytical framework employed in his earlier work, Biber carries out a principled comparison of both synchronic and diachronic patterns of variation across the four languages. Striking similarities as well as differences emerge, allowing Biber to predict for the first time cross-linguistic universals of register variation. This major new work will provide the foundation for the further investigation of cross-linguistic universals governing the pattern of discourse variation across registers, and will be of wide interest to any scholar interested in style, register and literacy.
An Introduction to Lean Work Design
This book provides a short, concise overview of lean work design, which sees lean systems as the result of a systematic implementation of appropriate work processes. It discusses lean tools, but views tools only as a means of achieving a desirable work design and does not see the use of lean tools as a goal in themselves.

Accounting For Fun and Profit
Accounting is an economic information system, and can be thought of as the language of business. Accounting principles cannot be discovered; they are created, developed, or decreed and are supported or justified by intuition, authority, and acceptability. Managers have alternatives in their accounting choices; the decisions are political, and trade-offs will be made. Accounting information provides individuals, both inside and outside a firm, with a starting point to understand and evaluate the key drivers of a firm, its financial position, and performance. If you are managing a firm, investing in a firm, lending to a firm, or even working for a firm, you should be able to read the firm’s financial statements and ask questions based on those statements. This book explains the fundamentals of financial statements. It is designed and meant to explain the language of accounting to non-accountants (i.e., those who hire accountants). After reading this book, you should be able to pick up an annual report, read it, understand much of it, and have a solid foundation to start asking questions about the firm. This book will show you that accounting can be informative and fun!
