Book Description
With Love, From Malaysia is an intimate look at Malaysia in the 1970s, through a series of letters home by a young Canadian mother. With two toddlers and her Malaysian surgeon husband, she adjusts to life in a new country and strange culture. Karen E. Musa chronicles the challenges of tolerating a stifling bureaucracy and accommodating "how they do things differently." With Love, From Malaysia narrates the young family's rich and varied experiences, from their royal audience with the Sultan of Johore to visits to the kampong. For Karen Musa, the warmth of her husband's large extended family considerably eased her culture shock of "enjoying" the "luxury" of household maids, her continuing "saga of the telephone," and other tribulations in dealing with Third World officialdom. The family's adventures in the mundane chores of daily living, which the natives take in stride, make for entertaining reading. This is the Malaysia that natives and foreigners alike rarely experience or appreciate.

Book Description
CITY, PEOPLE and ARCHITECTURE No matter hom impressive or iconic building or tall skyscraperis upon the skyline of a city, these buildings are concieved with people as their users. Yet the question is, for which layer of citizenship do they serve ? Have the stakeholder of the built environment give adequte attention towards the lives of those in between the cities’ sprawl of structures ? The topic of Archinesia vol.10 is “City, People and Architecture”, in which we try to reassess the position of architectural projects apart from being iconic attractors in the cityscapes. We ought to examine the role of architects in the ever-crucial process of creation within an increasingly populous contect. Without understanding how architects impact people, the profession will fatally disconnect itself from society.

Book Description
This book intends to reset and make Malaysia into a nation for the rakyat, not just for a select few. Resetting Malaysia compiles articles that put forth ideas on how every Malaysian can make changes that will eventually bind us into a single nation that respects the faiths, cultures and lifestyles of all—by challenging inherited perspectives, narratives and perceptions. Mohd Tajuddin Mohd Rasdi explores how educational institutions impart imitative and uncritical practices, how spirituality can inspire personal and political change, and how our fractured past can be critically understood, to underline that the rakyat are the true owners of the country.

Book Description
On March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 loaded 239 people on board and took off for what should have been a six-hour flight. It never made it—and it’s still missing. It’s been a year since Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished, and there’s still no sign of the aircraft, its passengers, or its crew—nor confirmation of what happened or where the aircraft resides. In this gripping investigation of the events that led to the plane’s disappearance—and why they could happen again—CNN aviation analyst David Soucie exposes the flaws in the aviation industry, shares what needs to be done so a plane doesn’t go missing again, and uses a Bayesian analysis model to reveal what most likely happened on board the plane that led to its downfall. Comprehensive in scope, personal and empathetic in voice, Soucie draws on his thirty years of experience as an accident investigator working with the Federal Aviation Administration. He allows you to put the wild speculation about the plane’s disappearance aside and assess the facts through the eyes of an experienced accident investigator.

Book Description
How do visitors immersing themselves in material places such as shopping malls or video sites online make sense of the experience, enabling criticizing - or consenting to content? How is this evident in behaviour? Reflecting on accounts by Chinese, Indian, Malay and Indigenous members of Malaysian society, this book addresses these questions from a practices perspective increasingly adopted by scholars in marketing and media studies. The volume provides an account of practices theory from its origins in critical hermeneutics (such as Heidegger, Gadamer and Ricoeur), as reflecting on the processes of embodied understanding, developing alongside interpretive and reception theory. Part I draws upon authors as diverse as Heidegger and Henry Jenkins, with a practices perspective on media and mall consuming shown as developing from forty years of theorizing about audience activity. An empirical study of Malaysian blogging and branding on YouTube exemplifies this approach. Part II considers Malaysians absorbed in social media sites, as everyday visitors and the subjects of consumer research. The book then returns to the material world, exploring the horizons of understanding from which Malaysians enter their mediated malls, and concludes by positioning media practices theory within a spectrum of philosophical ideas. Recognizing the current (re)turn in Consumer and Media Studies to employing hermeneutics as an account of our embodied human understanding, this book presents its major philosophical proponents, showing how close attention to their writing can now inform and shape research on ubiquitous screen users. As such, it will be of particular interest to students and scholars of Media Studies, Asian Studies and Marketing Studies.

Book Description
This text contains an examination of processes of cultural citizenship in peninsular Malaysia. In particular, it focuses upon the diverse residents of the southwestern state of Melaka and their negotiations of belonging and incorporation in Malaysian society. Following political independence and the formation of the Federation of Malaysia in 1957 Malaysian citizenship was extended to most members of these diverse social identities. In this post-colonial context, Timothy P. Daniels examines how public celebrations and representations, religious festivals, and patterns of social relations are connected to processes of inclusion and exclusion.
