        MALAYSIAN EDIBLE FRUITS

        by Ismail Saidin, Azly Yusof

        Fruits have a special place in our traditional cultures and in our everyday life. However, one can only conclude that our edible fruits form a less understood which so far has benefit little for us, except for a few species such Durian, Pineaple, Banana, Langsat. Nangka. Nangka cultivated in the Malay village orchards or in small holdings. We depend so much on imported fruits. So much so, our indigenous fruits are left in the forest, under developed, vunerable and facing extinction.

        India and Asian Geopolitics

        The Past, Present

        by Shivshankar Menon

        A clear-eyed look at modern India’s role in Asia’s and the broader worldOne of India’s most distinguished foreign policy thinkers addresses the many questions facing India as it seeks to find its way in the increasingly complex world of Asian geopolitics. A former Indian foreign secretary and national security adviser, Shivshankar Menon traces India’s approach to the shifting regional landscape since its independence in 1947. From its leading role in the “nonaligned” movement during the cold war to its current status as a perceived counterweight to China, India often has been an after-thought for global leaders—until they realize how much they needed it.Examining India’s own policy choices throughout its history, Menon focuses in particular on India’s responses to the rise of China, as well as other regional powers. Menon also looks to the future and analyzes how India’s policies are likely to evolve in response to current and new challenges.As India grows economically and gains new stature across the globe, both its domestic preoccupations and international choices become more significant. India itself will become more affected by what happens in the world around it. Menon makes a powerful geopolitical case for an India increasingly and positively engaged in Asia and the broader world in pursuit of a pluralistic, open, and inclusive world order.

        MAKE UP BREAK UP

        by Lilly Menon

        The sparkling and heartfelt romantic comedy debut from Lily Menon, Make Up Break Up…. Love, romance, second chances, fairy-tale endings…these are the things Annika Dev believes in. Her app, Make Up, has been called the “Google Translate for failing relationships.” High efficiency break-ups, flashy start-ups, penthouses, fast cars…these are the things Hudson Craft believes in. His app, Break Up, is known as the “Uber for break-ups.” It’s wildly successful—and anathema to Annika’s life philosophy. Which wouldn’t be a problem if they’d gone their separate ways after that summer fling in Las Vegas, never to see each other again. Unfortunately for Annika, Hudson’s moving not just into her office building, but into the office right next to hers. And he’ll be competing at the prestigious EPIC investment pitch contest: A contest Annika needs to win if she wants to keep Make Up afloat. As if it’s not bad enough seeing his irritatingly perfect face on magazine covers when her own business is failing. As if knowing he stole her idea and twisted it into something vile—and monumentally more successful—didn’t already make her stomach churn. As the two rival app developers clash again and again—and again—Annika finds herself drawn into Hudson Craft’s fast-paced, high velocity, utterly shallow world. Only, from up close, he doesn’t seem all that shallow. Could it be that everything she thought about Hudson is completely wrong? Could the creator of Break Up teach her what true love’s really about?

        What Lies Beneath

        How Organisations Really Work

        by Menon, Ajit

        This book looks beyond the public face and below the surface of organisations. Using a deceptively easy-to-read and accessible narrative concerning eight international organisations, it covers many fields: real estate, banking, finance, retail, market research, wildlife reserve, fashion, and IT. Each case presents a particular situation or event ranging from dealing with conflict to working with culture and team dynamics. Opened by an incisive foreword from Vega Zagier Roberts, there comes a clear introduction of the authors’ journey so far within the field of organisation development. Each compelling story demonstrates the complexity of working with organisational problems. The supervision conversations captured within clearly show how consultants can get caught up in and derailed by the dynamics of the organisational system. This book is written for those who work in and with organisations – for founders and executives, for leaders and managers, and especially for other organisational consultants and those who work with or are considering working with them. Through these accounts, the authors encourage interest and curiosity in a way of working with what lies beneath the surface.

        by Ekaterine Togonidze

        An earthquake completely shatters Nia’s world. The crack that appeared in her house is a sign that everything she holds dear – her family, relationships and future – is about to be destroyed. Nia is alone and that’s the fate of a lonely warrior, but life gives her another chance by offering her a long-desired role in a film. Together with film shooting starts a new phase in her life, a kind of parallel reality: art as a shelter, as a way of escape. Or possibly the only way of connecting to the reality and finding her own self. In this labyrinth the reader travels with the rhythm of Nia’s quickened heartbeat and breathing, but holds onto Ariadne’s thread to get back, hoping to restore the connection with the lost past and, all the way, noticing something even Nia fails to see, which is the truth of the others in her life. Home – You is Ekaterine Togonidze’s new novel. She is already well-known for collection of short stories, Anesthetic and Listen to Me, novels Another Way, Hurricane Margot and Asynchronies. Ekaterine Togonidze is a two-time participant of the Berlin Literary Colloquium and received the literary prize SABA.

        Twin Flame

        by Nish Amarnath

        TWIN FLAME is an inter-racial love story with literary overtones, multicultural stripes and strands of magical realism.   A South Asian Math prodigy’s wish for a boy in a painting to come alive materializes in the form of an Austrian-Jewish writer. But a troubling secret wrenches them apart, forcing them to confront their worst fears, if life is to give them one final chance. Sherry Kasal, diagnosed with type-1 diabetes at the age of five, hopes to draw upon her passion for Math to discover a cure for conditions like her own. She stumbles upon a painting of a boy trapped in a snowstorm. She talks to the boy in this picture whenever she's sad, frustrated, angry and/or dejected. When writer Shaddy Haas enters her life, Sherry is motivated to resume work on a concentric model of electromagnetism that she had abandoned as a teen. Alas, circumstances wrench Sherry and Shaddy apart. Sherry, who reluctantly marries a lawyer, lands in Manhattan, where she scrambles to pick up the vestiges of her shelved research dream and realizes that she’s living a lie. Sherry must also unravel a flabbergasting secret that links Shaddy to the painting of the boy in the snowstorm as they try to find their way back to each other.   Twin Flame, whose narrative is embedded with the alternating voices of its protagonists in both first-person and third-person points of view, combines the mystical ethos of Elif Shafak's 'Forty Rules of Love' with the futuristic cadence of Erich Segal's 'Prizes' and the exotic romanticism of Jan-Philipp Sendker's 'The Art of Hearing Heartbeats.'

        STOLETJE BORISA PAHORJA

        by TATJANA ROJC

        The life story of BORIS PAHOR (1913), a Slovene writer and centenarian, is at the same time a story about one of the most turbulent centuries in human history. With his clear standpoints and engagement, the author has always challenged current authorities and found himself in some of the most difficult situations of the 20th century. That’s How I Lived is also a story about Trieste and the lives of the people who moved there from rural areas, about the sad fates of Pahor’s patriotic friends and, of course, about his own Calvary through the Third Reich’s concentration camps. It offers an insight into Pahor’s private life, his first experiences of love and the first meetings with people with similar intellectual views and allies. The reader follows Pahor through his much-noticed conflicts with Slovene politicians and his activities on the international stage in favour of the rights of minority cultures. The narrative is supplemented with documents and photographs.
