The Journey of Humanity: The Origins of Wealth and Inequality
The Journey of Humanity: The Origins of Wealth and Inequality
The Journey of Humanity: The Origins of Wealth and Inequality
Author:
Oded Galor
Publisher:
Dutton, 2022
Oded Galor, a well-known economist and thinker, takes us on a fascinating trip from the beginning of human history to the present day. Along the way, he solves two of humanity's biggest mysteries.
Why is it that humans are the only species that have only recently gotten out of the subsistence trap, allowing us to live in a way that is far better than any other? And why have we developed in different ways in different parts of the world, making it so that today there are big differences between countries? Galor's story is huge in scope and full of surprising connections. It tells how technology, population size, and adaptation led to a shocking "phase change" in human history just 200 years ago. But by tracing that same journey back in time and peeling away the layers of influence—colonialism, political institutions, societal structure, and culture—he finds an explanation for the root causes of inequality: ancestors who lived in areas with good geography and a lot of diversity were set on the path to prosperity, while those who didn't had disadvantages that are still felt today.
As we face ecological crises all over the world, The Journey of Humanity is a book full of urgent truths and lasting lessons. Gender equality, investing in education, and finding a balance between diversity and social cohesion are the keys not only to our species' thriving, but to its survival.

Author:

Publisher:
Summersdale, 2021
The burden of expectation can be relentless. It’s this pressure that first sparks our fear of failure, a flame fanned by the expectations of others over time, which can lead us to value ourselves based on our academic achievement. So what can we do about it? After all, we are each so much more than our achievements, our belongings and our looks. The truth, whether you believe it we are all enough.
You are Enough is a book about freeing ourselves from the “shackles of should” which come from multiple sources in society. It’s a guide to cultivating an attitude of “enoughness”, providing practical ways to turn down the volume on comparison, criticism and expectation and turn up the volume on acceptance, balance and compassion. A good self-help book for those who are facing self-oriented perfection and often seeking for external validation.

Emma Smith
Publisher:
Pelican Book, 2020
A genius and prophet whose timeless works encapsulate the human condition like no others. A writer who surpassed his contemporaries in vision, originality and literary mastery. Who wrote like an angel, putting it all so much better than anyone else.
I like this book very much. It explains accessibly, with learning lightly worn, why Shakespeare retains such a hold in our culture. Smith has done an exemplary job of restoring the greatest of English writers to his own time, and explaining why he then speaks to ours. An invigorating examination of the pre-eminence of the most revered figure of English letters.

Kim Jiyoung lives in a small, clean apartment on the edge of the busy city of Seoul. She is a ‘millennial everywoman’ who is in her thirties. She recently quit her white-collar desk job to care for her newborn daughter full-time, which is what many Korean women are expected to do. But she soon starts to act strangely, which scares her husband, parents, and in-laws. Jiyoung starts to imitate the voices of other women, both living and dead, some of whom she knows and some of whom she doesn't. As her psychosis gets worse, her husband, who is scared, sends her to a male psychiatrist.
Jiyoung's whole life is told to the psychiatrist in a chilling, eerie third-person voice. The story is full of different parts about frustration, persistence, and giving up. Jiyoung was born in 1982 and given the most common name for Korean girls. She quickly becomes the sister no one likes because her little brother is a prince. Men are always telling her what to do, from the elementary school teachers who make girls wear uniforms to the coworkers who put a hidden camera in the women's bathroom and post photos of the women online. In the eyes of her father, it's Jiyoung's fault that men bother her late at night. In the eyes of her husband, it's Jiyoung's duty to quit her job and take care of him and their child to put them first.

Ali Chu, a 17-year-old student in her rural Indiana school, is aware that in order to get by, she must be as bland as white bread because she is the only Asian student there. This entails trading in her congee lunch for PB&Js, disregarding the ignorance of her classmates and instructors on racism, and remaining silent when Allie is incorrectly used in place of her real name, which is pronounced Ah-Lee after a mountain in Taiwan.
As soon as she learns that Chase Yu, the new student at school, is also Taiwanese, her life on autopilot is upended. Ali and Chase quickly ignite a connection founded in competitive martial arts, laughing in two languages, and most importantly, fighting back against the discrimination they endure. This happens despite some initial reluctance due to the rumours that "they belong together. "However, Ali's mother pressures Ali to break up with the relationship when she learns about it. Ali is forced to reevaluate all she believed she understood about life, love, and her unpredictable future as she stealthily investigates the reasons behind her mother's displeasure and unearths truths about her family and Chase.
The narrative of Ali is interlaced with passages from a love story set in nineteenth-century China that are connected to her fate.

Recipes, tales, history and stories, maps, techniques, stylings, utensils, and native ingredients are all included in this colourful invitation to learn about the appearance, fragrances, and flavours of Japan.
How do you cook sushi at home? What is the conventional approach to preparing miso soup? What are the steps involved in preparing a traditional Japanese meal? What are the dishes that are prepared in the izakaya the majority of the time? How should a bento box be packed and adorned with the many toppings?
The solutions are presented in a book that is both endearing and lovely to look at, and it is published in paperback format.
The graphics in this book are crystal clear, evocative, and inspiring. They cover everything from how to use Japanese knives, chopsticks, and cooking utensils to common and rare fish (and seaweed!), Japanese vegetables, fruits, and soy. The topics covered in this guide range from the components of a dish to the locations where those components can be purchased, as well as both individual components and entire courses.
This is a cookbook that every home cook will want to buy, and it is the kind of book that they will want to present to their loved ones and friends because the design is so entertaining.

Jane might be able to deal with dating the man who has been with the most women in the world, but she wishes she didn't have to share him with so many other women. Aggie, his ex-wife, still has Duncan mow her lawn. Aggie has shiny hair and pale skin like a milkmaid. Jimmy, a person he works with, comes and goes from Duncan's apartment at the worst times. Jane sometimes wonders if a relationship with three people can even work, let alone with four. If you count Gary, Aggie's strange husband, then there are five.

In which case, elephants certainly have the attributes to have an excellent memory. Elephants use their memories to survive. The great size means they need large quantities of food and water to remember where the resources can be found.
Containing over 45 of the most important questions you have ever asked (and some quite silly ones, too), do elephants ever forget? Is an utterly random collection of fiendishly fascinating and perplexing ideas.

Synopsis
‘A Glimpse Of A Mystery’ by reverend Dr. Charles Chiew has been visualized clearly in his writing and became a historical fact especially the challenges faced by missionaries during the Japanese era in North Borneo. A location map and illustrations of the various place mentioned by the writer would enable readers to remember the sequence of events clearly during the Japanese occupation and the second World War. Dr. Chiew’s tireless effort to do his research and in getting this book published is timely and deserved my sincere appreciation and heartiest congratulation.

Mystery is not something we do not know about, we can come to know about it bit by bit, but there will still be more to discover. The book ‘A Glimpse Of A Mystery’ by Rev. Dr. Charles Chiew helps to uncover the mystery about how the missionaries perished in Sapong, Tenom during the second World War. All this while, we used to hear various stories, imaginary tales and hearsays about their disappearance. At the same time, the service and sacrifice they had rendered are not forgotten. All these began with the prayer of a mother who spent an hour a day praying before the Blessed sacrament. This book also unveils to us the appalling consequences of war.

Author
PETER B. ADAMS
Synopsis
Dendrobium species are attractive, conspicuous and numerous along the entire eastern coast of Australia, and are popular plants for culture and breeding of colourful hybrids. In contrast to the other books in the series so far, where a selection of species was made, all Australian species and their variants (around 80) are included. There is a full spectrum of plant form from some of the smallest mat-forming dendrobiums to the largest in the genus, being over two metres tall and several metres across. The unusual and rarer species of Cape York Peninsula and central Queensland are uncommon in collections and seldom seen, requiring travel to remote places. Some of the most striking Dendrobium habitats are illustrated.
There have been a number of approaches to the classification of Dendrobium and related genera over the past 30 years. Classification and nomenclature are always evolving as new information becomes available. Genera Orchidacearum Volume 6 (2014) included evidence from morphology, DNA and all other areas of study and provided an international consensus for Dendrobium, bringing a long-awaited degree of stability to the genus. This book follows the Genera Orchidacearum Vol. 6 approach and the Kew Monocot Checklist, and considers all available published evidence on the genus. An identification key to the sections is provided, and species are arranged in a checklist according to sections.

Synopsis
The genus Hoya was established by Robert Brown in 1811 and was named after Thomas Hoy, gardener at Syon Park in England. Hoyas are mostly herbs with creeping or climbing stems and mostly epiphytic in trees, but some are small shrubs that do not produce climbing stems. Many produce umbels of colorful and scented flowers and because they are easy to propagate from cuttings or seeds have become popular house plants in the cooler temperate countries or garden plants in the tropics and sub-tropics. Hoya belongs to one of the ten largest families of flowering plants — the Apocynaceae — with 5100 species, and fall into one of the five subfamilies, the Asclepiadoideae, and specifically the tribe Marsdeniae, with 26 genera. With 350–450 species, Hoya is the largest genus in the family with the main distribution of species being in the tropical forests of Malesia, where it is found growing with the closely related genus Dischidia. Borneo is one of the top 10 biodiversity hot spots in the world and Hoya diversity on the island is only surpassed by the Philippines at present. Currently it is estimated that there are about 80 species in Borneo, with 72 named, of which 67 are covered in this Guide. Of the 72 named species, 36 species, or 50% are endemic to Borneo. Hoya are used by native people for medicinal and other purposes and medical research is now finding chemical constituents that may have future potential in the industry. Because of the colorful and scented flowers, over 100 species are now commercially available as ornamentals from nurseries that specialize in Hoya . This Guide covers some aspects of their cultivation, both as outdoor climbers in gardens in tropical and subtropical counties as well as indoor house-plants in colder climates. As a result, Hoya Societies have sprung up in many countries in Europe, the USA and Australia as well as in some tropical countries such as Thailand.

Synopsis
The edible wild fruits, nuts and seeds of Borneo that are found in the different forests from coastal seashores and islands, through the lowlands and hills, to the montane forests, and on different soils, are estimated to be in the region of 500 different species. These were consumed by the many groups of people inhabiting the island, over many decades. They were the ones who had initially discovered whether different fruits, nuts and seeds were edible, and that some otherwise toxic species become edible only after cooking or fermentation processes. Botanists and taxonomists have subsequently provided the scientific names for these plants and classified most of them into their respective families and genera. However, there are still new species being discovered in what are some of the most species-rich forests in the world, and for many genera, Borneo is their centre of diversity. Many species are rare and little known, and over 30% of plant species are endemic to Borneo.
The lowland forests are particularly rich, with most of the species being trees, but treelets, shrubs and herbs also have species with edible fruits. This guide mostly introduces the better-known species, but to showcase this diversity, some examples of rare or little-known species are also included, resulting in a total of 34 families, 55 genera, and 109 species being illustrated.
Many of the lowland forests have now been cleared for the development of agriculture, forest plantations, towns and roads, and the diversity of varieties of some species has become greatly reduced. Though some germplasm has been conserved in agricultural stations and research facilities, much more needs to be done so that those species with good commercial potential can be selected and bred as future crops for farmers. Some species have already been researched, and selected clones made available, but there are still many more with good horticultural potential.

Kuala Lumpur.Dewasa Bahasa Dan Pustaka, 2014
Synopsis
Buku Amfibia Sabah merupakan satu-satunya buku yang memberikan gambaran secara komprehensif tentang keunikan amfibia yang terdapat di Sabah dan memuatkan hampir kesemua spesies amfibia di negeri di bawah bayu ini. Fauna amfibia, yang sinonim dengan haiwan katak, kurang diberikan tumpuan berbanding dengan hidupan megafauna yang lain, seperti gajah dan badak. Masyarakat umumnya lebih mengenali haiwan mamalia berbanding dengan katak dan tidak banyak penyelidik tempatan yang pakar dalam bidang herpetofauna. Sumber-sumber bacaan mengenainya lebih menjurus kepada penyelidikan sainstifik dan sukar difahami individu yang bukan pakar dalam bidang tersebut. Oleh itu, buku ini ditulis dengan cara yang mudah difahami supaya dapat dihayati oleh semua golongan masyarakat, terutamanya para pelajar. Teks yang dikomplemenkan dengan gambar-gambar spesies amfibia membolehkan pembaca mengenali haiwan tersebut dengan lebih mudah lagi.
Buku ini boleh dijadikan rujukan oleh golongan amatur atau profesional yang terlibat dalam bidang akademik dan penyelidikan. Diharapkan buku ini akan membawa kesedaran awam mengenai kepentingan dan keunikan amfibia di sekeliling kita.

Synopsis
This Sabah Society Monograph is devoted to commemorating 40 years since the Royal Society Expeditions to Mount Kinabalu. which was declared a national park in 1964. The Royal Society Expeditions (RSE) of 1961 and 1964 took place when Sabah was in transition from a British administered colony to an independent state within the Malaysian Federation. The First RSE was the last of a long series of major scientific expeditions undertaken during the colonial era. The First RSE was also the first team to undertake an exploration of the long and difficult Eastern Ridge of Kinabalu. All previous explorations of the mountain had focussed on its western side. The same Expedition was also the first to explore the Pinosuk Plateau, on which thrived a unique forest at 5000 ft, on rocky detritus washed down from the mountain. Sadly, this forest does not exist any more, as it was cleared in the 1980s to make way for the Agricultural Station and the Golf Course. Kotal, a Dustin hunter hailing from Kg. Kundasang, was the first to pioneer a route to King George V Peak-the summit above the Eastern Plateau-in June 1963. Corner engaged his services as the chief guide for the Second RSE in 1964. It was he who guided John Corner and, later, Gathorne Medway (now Earl of Cranbrook) to the summit. Kotal was a silent and enigmatic personality. In Corner's words, "He is the class of Dusun as silent. rugged and detached as a granite pinnacle". Kotal guided many subsequent expeditions through the same route that now bears his name. He passed away in 1998. The names of many peaks and pinnacles on Kinabalu East-the Eastern Plateau and the North and East Ridges, such as Gully Peak, Outpost, North Peak, Lion's Rock, Echoing Rocks, Rhino Horn, etc., were given by John Corner himself which are in current use in mountaineering literature on Kinabalu and referred to by climbers who frequent this mountains.

Summary
Finding Jesselton is about George’s search to discover why a historical trading post in the South China Seas was so intriguingly once named after his great-grandfather, Sir Charles James Jessel. So over the past ten years whenever possible, he have tried to collect various photographs and articles and have now, with the help of Gill and Roger Joye, published authors who live in Goudhurst, been able to start his own version of his family association with North Borneo. George’s original aim was to tell the story of his great-grandfather, Sir Charles James Jessel, but as he started to research his greatgrandfather’s life he realised that, as is so often the case in many family histories, it is always about more than just one man and in this case his connection with the British North Borneo Company. And so George’s story starts with Aaron Jesel of Frankfurt in the mid-18th century and finishes with his grandfather who died in 1977 – plus a few recent trips to Kota Kinabalu, North Borneo (Sabah) to round it off!

'Cerita ini hanyalah rekaan dan imaginasi penulis semata-mata. Imaginasi yang sering berlegar-legar di ruang minda manusia ada kalanya sukar untuk ditebak. Begitu juga dengan setiap kejadian yang berlaku dan baik buruknya nasib setiap makhluk-Nya juga sukar ditebak hamba-Nya. Namun, semuanya sudah sedia tercatat di lohmahfuz. Sebagai manusia yang waras dan beriman, kita hanya mampu berusaha dan berdoa. Selebihnya, reda dan bertawakallah. Walaupun karya ini bukanlah sebuah karya yang berpaksikan cerita di sebalik misteri kehilangan MH370 yang sebenarnya, jauh sekali ingin menumpang kehangatan misterinya, namun sekurang-kurangnya karya ini memberikan gambaran bagaimana emosi, persepsi, dan kesannya terhadap waris mangsa yang terlibat dalam apaapa nahas sekalipun.'

Synopsis
Melalui buku ini kita dapat melihat lebih dekat mengenai kebudayaan orang Gana’ yang berasal dari satu rumpun dengan masyarakat Kadazandusun yang hanya terdapat di negeri Sabah.
Isi buku ini menjurus khusus kepada kebudayaan suku kaum Gana’ kerana selama ini tidak pernah diketenggahkan oleh mana-mana pihak dalam bentuk buku. Etnik Gana’ adalah etnik yang sedikit dan tidak subur membiak, ia hanya terdapat di beberapa tempat (Kampung) di dalam daerah Keningau dan pada masa ini sedang menuju ke ambang kepupusan bersama dengan bahasanya.
Menulis buku ini bukan semudah yang difikirkan orang kerana semua etnik Dusun termasuk Gana’ tidak ada menyimpan rekod berkenaan sejarah, budaya, seni sastera dan sebagainya sebab tidak memiliki aksara, mereka hanya menurunkan segala perkara (hal), termasuk budaya dan tradisi melalui hafalan.

Synopsis
The people of Sabah possesses on this famous mountain of what I believe is the most richest and most remarkable assemblage of plants in the world. There is no other place in the world that supplies in so short a journey such a stupendous transect of plant-life … I conclude that, if ever there was a nexus of natural phenomena demanding biological research, it is around Kinabalu.” — Professor John Corner, Royal Society Expeditions 1961 and 1964
Mount Kinabalu (4095 m) in the East Malaysian state of Sabah on the island of Borneo is the highest mountain between the Himalayas and the mountains of New Guinea, as well as the most biodiverse place on earth for its size with an unparalleled ecology with many endemic species. Scientific research undertaken over the last 160 years has recorded over 5500 plant species comprising over 200 plant families in an area roughly 30×40 km in size, making it truly a ‘pinnacle of biodiversity’. Mount Kinabalu also has the richest orchid flora in the world. Half of all Borneo’s birds, mammals, reptilian species and amphibian species including- many rare and endangered species occur on Mount Kinabalu; these include approximately 90 species of lowland mammals and 22 montane mammal species and 326 bird species. The Park was established in 1964, and includes Mount Kinabalu, and the little-known Mount Tambuyukon (2579 m), the highest ultramafic mountain in Asia. As a World Heritage Site, Kinabalu Park is also the most important tourism ‘hotspot’ in Sabah with close to 500,000 visitors annually, of whom about 10% make it to the highest point in Borneo, a tough 2-day climb.

Summary
Phaius are spectacular terrestrial orchids, widespread from tropical and subtropical Asia, Australasia, Madagascar and Africa. The genus comprises just over 40 species and used to include the endemic Madagascan genus Gastrorchis which has nine known species. For historical reasons and because they have frequently been artificially hybridized, both genera are covered in this monograph. They have a fascinating history: Phaius tankervilleae was the first tropical orchid to be grown and flowered in England some 250 years ago. It certainly stimulated interest in the growing of exotic orchids that took off spectacularly in the following century as tropical plants flowed into Europe and once growers had established the appropriate cultural conditions for them. This book introduces many showy and little known species to the reader and will, no doubt, stimulate interest in them and their attractive and easy-to-grow hybrids.

Kota Kinabalu, David Buku Sooning@ Suning (Langkawit)
Synopsis
“Langkawit kasi buli saja” merupakan buku kartun terkini versi Bahasa Malaysia Karya saya yang ditampilkan dengan sedikit kelainan tetapi saya anggap sebagai istimewa. Ini kerana cara persembahan ‘page layout’nya berorentasikan potret. Beberapa mukasurat mengandungi dua (2) bahagian cerita kartun yang disusun mengikut jalan cerita atau kesinambungan cerita tersebut. Ini bermakna, pembaca mendapat lebih banyak cerita atau lukisan kartun walaupun masih dengan jumlah mukasurat keseluruhan yang sama seperti keluaran terdahulu. Dalam keluaran ini juga, terdapat “sisipan khas kartun dalam Bahasa Dusun” bagi menambahkan lagi keunikan serta kepelbagaian sesuai dengan konsep penerbit buku kartun ini iaitu “intergrasi Bahasas Suku Bangsa Sabah”. Diharapkan juga agar penampilan buku kartun ini dapat menarik minat pembaca dari suku atau bangsa lain di seluruh Malaysia untuk mempelajari atau sekirang-kurangnya mengenali bahasa dan budaya sesame kita rakyat Malaysia.
Penerbit ingin memaklumkan bahawa sebahagian ejaan dan bahasa yang digunakan dalam buku kartun ini bukanlah menggunakan ejaan serta bahasa Malaysia kebangsaan yang sebenar. Oleh itu ianya tidak sesuai sebagai bahan rujukan rasmi. Pembaca diharap dapat menggunakan kebijakan sendiri dalam menilai dan menapis ejaan dan bahasa yang digunakan dalam buku bacaan humor ini.

Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah 2009
Editor

Synopsis
Buku ini merupakan sejarah perkembangan teknologi menangkap ikan di Sabah bermula dari era pemerintahan kesultanan Sulu hingga Kerajaan Negeri Sabah. Berdasarkan kajian ini didapati berlaku perkembangan dan kemunduran dalam teknologi menangkap ikan yang digunakan oleh nelayan di Sabah. Kemajuannya banyak dipengaruhi oleh polisi pemerintahan, peranan golongan pemodal, pasaran domestik dan antarabangsa, perkembangan teknologi menangkap ikan dunia dan lain-lain lagi. Bermula dengan penciptaan beberapa teknologi mengkap ikanyang mudah dan bercirikan tradisional oleh kesultanan Sulu, teknologi mengkap ikan di Sabah terus berkembang pesat di bawah pentadbiran British North Borneo Chartered Company (1881 hingga 1941). Hasil daripada pengubahsuaian teknologi menangkap ikan warisan kesultanan sulu dengan teknologi menangkap ikan baharu yang diperkenalkan oleh pemerintah dan pemodal ikan, jumlah pendaratan hasil-hasil laut di Sabah telah dapat ditingkatkan terutamanya untuk menampung permintaan daripada buruh-buruh yang bekerja di sektor pembalakan, perladangan dan perlombongan dan pasaran eksport amnya. Namun, perkembangan teknologi menangkap ikan ini nampaknya telah mengalami zaman kemunduran apabila Sabah diperintah oleh Jepun antara tahun 1942 hingga 1945 dan dipulikan semula semasa pentadbiran British (1946 hingga 1957). Di bawah pentadbiran Kerajaan Sabah, teknologi menangkap ikan terus diberi perhatian dan dimajukan lagi selaras dengan hasrat kerajaan untuk membasmi kemiskinan dalam kalangan nelayan dan menjadikan Sabah sebagai antara penyumbang hasil-hasil laut utama di Malaysia.

Summary
Molig, seorang anak perempuan sulung menjadi ‘barang cagaran’ kepada Alaat dan Daing kerana hutang sekampit beras oleh ibu bapanya. Alaat dan Daing memerah tenaga Molig menguruskan kerja-kerja rumah, mendera fizikal dan mentalnya. Namun, Molig tabah dan sabar demi keluarganya. Nasib Molig mula berubah apabila muncul seorang lelaki tua yang cedera meminta bantuan daripadanya. Sapu tangan berwana kuning keemasan serta bersulamkan dua bilah keris hadiah daripada lelaki tua itu menjadi punca perubahan. Kulit Molig menjadi mulus dan kelihatan cantik manakala fizikal Alaat serta Daing menjadi seperti orang utan. Orang kampung semuanya gembira dengan perubahan Alaat dan Daing kerana menganggap itu balasan terhadap sikap orang yang sombong dan jahat kepada Molig dan juga orang-orang kampung. Apakah yang berlaku kepada Puteri Molig seterusnya?

Synopsis
“Bonda… I present to you, Ihraz Zahin, my boyfriend..”
Ya Allah, aku? Ihraz Zahin terkaku saat mendengar ayat itu dari bibir si tuan puteri. Mata membulat. Darah sudah lama terhenti saat ayat tadi ternoktah. Wajah Eshal Rania dipandang tak berkelip. Tak guna punya tuan puteri. Siapa boyfriend kau?
“Awak dah gila ke? Saya tak nak kahwin dengan awak!” –Ihraz Zahin
“Excuse me?! You ingat I ni kemaruk sangat ke nak kahwin dengan lelaki macam you? Hu… Please!”-Eshal Rania
Kerana terlajak kata, Eshal Rania sudah tidak boleh menoleh lagi. Membohongi bonda hanya kerana tidak menyenangi Syed Ameer XXX. Akhirnya, dengan restu ayahhandanya, tuan puteri sah menjadi isteri kepada pemandu keluarganya. Ihraz Zahin dengan rasminya menjadi pemilik hati Eshal Rania.
Tuan Puteri vs driver?
Sejak dari itu, bermulalah kisah dongeng Eshal Rania. Kononnya mampu mengekalkan ego sang puteri. Dia diva! Dia mementingkan segalanya. Malah, hanya orang yang setaraf sahaja boleh mendampinginya.
Namun bagi Zahin, kekayaan bukan ukuran. Walaupun dia beristerikan si tuan puteri, tapi dia tetap seorang raja. Rumah flat kepunyaannya kini menjadi rumah mereka berdua. Apa sahaja yang ada di situ, Eshal Rania perlu hormati. Mati kutu! Itulah yang terjadi pada Eshal Rania.
“Habis tu… Bilik you pulak kat mana?” –Eshal Rania
“Kat bilik awak tu la.”-Ihraz Zahin

Synopsis
Himpunan cerita rakyat ini merupakan hasil penyelidikan dengan kerja lapangan. Temu bual dilakukan bersama dengan penutur asli bahasa etnik dalam rumpun Kadazandusun. Hasil penyelidikan ini telah berjaya mendokumentasikan 57 cerita rakyat daripada 12 etnik iaitu Talantang, Liwan, Kimaragang, Bundu, Garo, Tindal, Kadazan, Tobilung, Tagahas, Minokok, Labuk om Sungei. Cerita rakyat ini didokumentasi menggunakan etnik asal untuk mengekalkan keaslian selain sebagai pelestarian bahasa-bahasa etnik di Sabah.
Secara umum, cerita rakyat ini mengisahkan suasana kehidupan seharian yang meliputi pekerjaan, aktiviti sosial dan hubungan sesama manusia, alam juga dengan pencipta. Penceritaan diselitkan dengan nilai-nilai pendidikan yang menjadikan buku ini sesuai dijadikan sebagai bahan pengajaran. Umpamanya cerita yang pada awalnya, watak melalui pelbagai rintangan tetapi akan berakhir dengan kejayaan setelah melalui rintangantersebut dengan usaha yang gigih dan sabar menempuhi kesengsaraan serta sentiasa berkelakuan baik terhadap sesama manusia dan alam. Sebaliknya, bagi yang selalu mengambil jalan singkat maka balasan yang setimpal akan diterima. Penceritaan seperti ini pasti sesuai untuk dijadikan panduan dalam kehidupan seharian kepada pembaca agar mencontohi teladan yang baik. Keadaan ini menjadikan cerita rakyat terus relevan sebagai salah satu cara penerapan nilai-nilai murni.

Synopsis
This is a pictorial treasury of Tawau, with more than 260 photos, maps and diagrams showing the people and places of its 150 year story. Words in both English and Bahasa Malaysia help tell the tale. Look closely at these pictures and the strange yet familiar world of the past will come alive. Ken Goodlet collected many of the images over the 50 years from his arrival in Tawau as a teacher. Others have come from sources in Malaysia and Australia, including friends and former students. This is a companion book to the author’s 360-page history, Tawau: the Making of a Tropical Community (2010).

Synopsis
The story of Tawau and its people is only around 130 years old. People alive today, including this author, have known those who were present at the very start of a recognisable settlement at the mouth of the Tawau River. Ken Goodlet's interviews cover around 21 linguistic groups in those early days, making this record of Tawau rainbow-coloured in its diversity. The book shows that Tawau has had at least two natural advantages: its location and its natural wealth. Situated at the meeting point of three states that were formerly very different (and competing) colonies, Tawau has been a haven of prosperity and peace, first under the British and then as part of Malaysia. This has attracted trade and immigration (and, at times, envy) not only from far distant Japan and China, but from the Dutch East Indies (later, Indonesia) to its immediate south and from the Spanish and American and, later, independent Philippines to its east. Tawau's natural wealth, evidenced in a favourable climate, large pockets of excellent soil and coal deposits, has provided residents with jungle produce, then mining and timber, then rubber and hemp and cocoa, and finally oil palm prosperity, augmented by a host of less important agricultural products. The book shows how this has led to extensive migration and capital investment and to the growth of a diverse agriculture-based economy with a complex infrastructure. While previously unimagined wealth has brought better health and a higher standard of living, inevitably it has brought problems unsustainable exploitation of natural resources, illegal immigration, wealth inequity and loss of some community values. But the final chapters make clear the present is a better world for most than it was at any time in the past.

Synopsis
This beautiful book describes 32 Schefflera taxa, including 29 species, from the Malaysian state of Sabah on the island of Bomeo. Prior to this work, only seven species of Schefflera in Sabah had published names and none had been described from the state in the last 100 years. Thus this treatment provides a long overdue contribution to our understanding of the genus, in particular, and the Sabah flora, in general. Beyond including an enumeration of the species of Schefflera in Sabah, introductory material on both the history and systematics of the genus and natural history of Sabah is provided. Numerous photographic images and line drawings are provided to illustrate the taxa and their distinguishing characteristics. In addition, distribution maps document the occurrence of each species and variety. This account will be an invaluable addition to botanical libraries and aid to herbarium curators worldwide with an interest in Schefflera from Bomeo.

Synopsis
This work is an attempt to preserve the beliefs of the Kadazan People of Sabah, on how the world and everything in it were created according to the earliest media available to them – The Inaits. Kinoingan chanted the mantras to the first Bobohizan, who in turn passed it down in similar way, to the others – over the centuries. The Bobohizans (Kadazan Priestess) cannot read nor write but they have an unsual gift – they can memorise a few day long mantras. They were just the people who could do that and today, Kadazan Mythology is an attempt; the first of its kind to have put that in a Book Form – with the hope it can sustain along the ages, ahead. It is also attached to the heart of the Author that may this Literature be found helpful to those who loves mythology and see if this can be made into a Kadazan Literature, of all time?

'Antologi cerpen Topi Jelita ini menghimpunkan cerpen-cerpen penulis wanita yang membawa dimensi atau sudut pandang wanita terhadap dunia kehidupan-menepati konsep bahawa sastera itu merupakan penyalinan kehidupan manusia sebenar yang diolah menjadi cerita dengan segala struktur dan kesannya. Cara kumpulan cerpen ini disusun sesungguhnya menampkkan sifat egalitarian tanpa membezakan tahap atau nama besar di kalangan penulis wanita yang ada. Lantaran itu sifat egalitarian kumpulan cerpen ini memberi sebuah keunikan yang tersendiri. Walaupun kesan pembaca turun naik oleh tahap kekuatan cerpen yang berbeza-beza, namun pemerhatian secara keseluruhannya menemui sudut pandang penulis wanita yang walaupun kelihatan pelbagai tetapi akhirnya menemukan titik yang satu- iaitu jiwa kewanitaan yang rapi, halus dan dipenuhi gelembung perasaan. Hal ini memperlihatkan wajah tipikal penulis wanita ynag tekal dan tepu. Wajah tipikal ini memberikan kekuatan yang tersendiri, malah keperibadian yang unik terhadap karya-karya dalam kumpulan cerpen ini.'
