The Book of Jakarta
A young woman takes a driverless taxi through the streets of Jakarta, only to discover that the destination she is hurtling towards is now entirely submerged... A group of elderly women visit a famous amusement park for one last ride, but things don’t go quite according to plan... The day before her wedding, a bride risks everything to meet her former lover at their favourite seafood restaurant on the other side of the tracks... Despite being the world’s fourth largest nation – made up of over 17,000 islands – very little of Indonesian history and contemporary politics are known to outsiders. From feudal states and sultanates to a Cold War killing field and a now struggling, flawed d...
On Teaching that Works
As its name shows, that is, On Teaching That Works, this book is about teaching that, hopefully, can empower our students to be better in their life in and after their formal schooling. To be better is, of course, not just dependent on teaching; it also depends on learning. That is, students can indeed be better in and beyond schools if they learn harder/smarter day by day throughout their life span. Learning harder/smarter is, ideally, the result of, among order things, how teachers teach their students. This is why this book covers also some issues related to learning, a process through which learners can move, individually and/or collectively, from being dependent to being independent wit...
The Book of Barcelona
A slighted wife escapes her wealthy family for the evening and stumbles into the city's red-light district... The head of security at Barcelona's container port searches for a figure that only he has seen sneak in... An elderly woman brings home a machine that will turn her body into atoms, so she can leave behind a city that is no longer recognisable... Historically, Barcelona is a city of resistance and independence; a focal point for Catalan identity, as well as the capital of Spanish republicanism. Nestled between the Mediterranean coast and mountains, this burgeoning city has also been home to some of the greatest names in modern art and architecture, and attracts visitors and migrants from all over the world. As a result, the city is a melting-pot of cultures, and the stories gathered here offer a miscellany of form and genre, fittingly reminiscent of one of Gaudi's mosaics. From the boy-giant outgrowing his cramped flat on the city's outskirts, to the love affair that begins in a launderette, we meet characters who are reclaiming the independence of their city by challenging common misconceptions and telling its myriad truths.

Mediating Islam
Broadening an overly narrow definition of Islamic journalism, Janet Steele examines day-to-day reporting practices of Muslim professionals, from conservative scripturalists to pluralist cosmopolitans, at five exemplary news organizations in Malaysia and Indonesia. At Sabili, established as an underground publication, journalists are hired for their ability at dakwah, or Islamic propagation. At Tempo, a news magazine banned during the Soeharto regime and considered progressive, many see their work as a manifestation of worship, but the publication itself is not considered Islamic. At Harakah, reporters support an Islamic political party, while at Republika they practice a “journalism of the Prophet” and see Islam as a market niche. Other news organizations, too, such as Malaysiakini, employ Muslim journalists. Steele, a longtime scholar of the region, explores how these publications observe universal principles of journalism through an Islamic idiom.
Cara Terbaik Menulis Kitab Suci
Sejumlah orang menunggu ilapat dari langit untuk menulis. Untuk menyusun kitab suci, pertanda itu bahkan harus disertai kedatangan makhluk bersayap bermandikan cahaya sebelum mereka yakin untuk menorehkan pena. Tapi, Sinduralutta memilih cara berbeda. Ia menjadikan sejumlah kisah yang ia pungut sepanjang perjalanan ke barat seperti bocah cahaya, telaga di bukit, sepasang mata yang membakar, roh dalam toples, dan perempuan yang menaklukkan batu sebagai bahan utama kitab yang ia tulis. Sinduratulla terlahir kembar Bersama Kantarapajja. Ketika bayi, mereka ditinggalkan di tanah tak bertuan dan hampir menjumpai ajal jika Guru Arangkasadra tidak menyelamatkan mereka. Sesuai janjinya, Sinduralutta menjadikan Kantarapajja sebagai penerima pertama cerita-ceritanya. Tapi, mereka terpisah jarak yang semakin lama semakin jauh… Buku persembahan penerbit baNANA #baNANA
The Book of Reykjavik
Reluctant to observe a new family tradition, a boy finds himself stranded outside a graveyard on the night before Christmas... Three farming brothers, forced to relocate to the city by poor harvests, discover an unexpected demand for their green-fingered talents... Residents of a new apartment block are woken in the early hours by the eerie sound of a table saw that once operated on the building’s grounds... Iceland is a land of stories; from the epic sagas of its mythic past, to its claim today of being home to more writers, more published books and more avid readers, per head, than anywhere in the world. As its capital (and indeed only city), Reykjavik has long been an inspiration for th...
