Sinopsis

Indus Valley explores the fascinating story of the Indus Valley Civilization (IVC), one of history’s earliest urban societies. This book sheds light on the IVC's remarkable achievements in urban planning, evident in cities like Mohenjo-daro and Harappa, which featured grid-pattern layouts and advanced sanitation systems. It also investigates the civilization's extensive trade networks, revealing connections with Mesopotamia and Central Asia, highlighting the exchange of goods and cultural influences. A key focus is understanding the factors that led to the IVC's societal collapse, including environmental challenges and potential internal pressures. 

 
The book approaches the IVC by examining its geographical setting, urban innovations, and trade relations before delving into the theories surrounding its decline. It draws upon archaeological evidence, artifact analysis, and paleoclimatological data to provide a comprehensive picture. One intriguing aspect is how the IVC's sophisticated systems, initially strengths, may have contributed to its downfall, challenging simplistic views of progress.

 
The book highlights the importance of considering the long-term consequences of societal choices, offering valuable lessons for contemporary urban planning and resource management. The narrative progresses systematically, beginning with an introduction to the civilization's timeline and geography, then exploring its urban planning and trade networks, and finally synthesizing theories about its decline. By focusing on evidence-based analysis and acknowledging ongoing scholarly debates, Indus Valley provides a balanced and nuanced perspective on this ancient civilization.

    I'm a teenager and I call my shrink

    “It's better to talk to you than to my parents; I wouldn't want to hurt their feelings. “Anguish, when it takes hold of me, is a terrible abyss! “I don't know who I am anymore. It's like voices are talking to me, it's weird; I'm scared” ... Today, teenagers dare to consult on their own. We welcome the end of the taboo, and the fact that it's easier to talk, but beware of the dizzying distress that can be caused, because it only takes a little for a teenager's life to turn upside down. The precipitous and uncertain evolution of society, of the family, of the relationship to work and to culture, upsets the reference points of the teenager and his parents. Adolescence is therefore a crucial time for talking: it's the time to make it a priority. Thierry Delcourt guides us and suggests concrete situations to help parents and teenagers find their way towards greater well-being and dialogue. Let's not forget that the teenage period is rich in creative potential, which needs to be revealed. The book is aimed at teens and parents alike. It can even be read together, as a way of talking and hearing each other differently.

    Huey Newton was born on February 17, 1942. He was an African-American revolutionary, notable as the founder of the Black Panther Party. Newton crafted the Party's ten-point manifesto with Bobby Seale in 1966. 
     
    The Black Panther Party founded over 60 community support programs including food banks, medical clinics, sickle cell anemia tests, prison busing for families of inmates, legal advice seminars, clothing banks, housing cooperatives, and their own ambulance service. The most famous of these programs was the Free Breakfast for Children program which fed thousands of impoverished children daily during the early 1970s. Newton also co-founded the Black Panther newspaper service, which became one of America's most widely distributed African-American newspapers. 
     
    In 1989, he was murdered in Oakland, California, by Tyrone Robinson, a member of the Black Guerrilla Family. Newton was known for being an advocate of self-defense and used his position as a leader within the Black Panther Party to welcome women and LGBT people into the party, holding the belief that homosexuals "might be the most oppressed people". 
     
    Huey Newton was never shy in talking to the media because after all the powerful movement he started with bobby Seale was all about communication and understanding leading to meaningful change. 
     
    What follows is a collection of interviews with the controversial charismatic leader commencing from his prison cell in 1968 right up until 1989 just weeks before his tragic death. Here is a chance to get to know and understand not only Huey the forward-thinking and intractable black rights advocate but also the sensitive and sensible intellectual ultimately compassionate and caring man.

    Jonathan Corcoran was the youngest and only son of three siblings in a family balanced on the precipice of poverty. His mother, a traditional, evangelical, and insular woman who had survived abuse and abandonment, was often his only ally. Together they navigated a strained homelife dominated by his distant, gambling-addicted father and shared a seemingly unbreakable bond. 
     
     
     
    When Corcoran left home to attend Brown University, a chasm between his upbringing and his reality began to open. As his horizons and experiences expanded, he met the upper-middle-class Jewish man who would become his husband. But this authentic life would not be easy, and Corcoran was forever changed when his mother disowned him after discovering his truth. In the ensuing fifteen years, the two would come together only to violently spring apart. As the COVID-19 pandemic raged in 2020, the cycle finally ended when he received the news that his mother had died. 
     
     
     
    In No Son of Mine, Corcoran traces his messy estrangement from his mother through lost geographies as well as the lost relationships with friends and family and the sense of home that were stripped away when she said he was no longer her son. Through grief, anger, questioning, and growth, Corcoran explores the entwined yet separate histories and identities of his mother and himself.

Dari Anas, dia berkata: Pada suatu hari ketika Rasulullah berada di tengah kami, Beliau mengantuk sekejap. Kemudian Beliau mengangkat kepalanya dengan senyum. Maka kami bertanya: “Apa yang membuatmu tertawa, wahai Rasulullah?” Rasulullah menjawab,”Baru saja turun kepadaku sebuah surat,” maka Beliau membaca surat Al Kautsar. Kemudian Rasulullah bersabda,”Apakah kalian tahu apakah Al Kautsar itu?” Maka kami berkata,”Allah dan RasulNya lebih mengetahui.” Rasulullah bersabda,”Al Kautsar adalah sungai yang dijanjikan Allah SWT untukku. Disana terdapat kebaikan yang banyak. Ia adalah telaga yang akan didatangi umatku pada hari Kiamat. Jumlah bejananya sebanyak bintang-bintang” (Hadist Sahih)Surah Al-Kawthar or Al-Kautsar ("Abundance or The River of Paradise) is the 108th and shortest chapter (surah) of the Quran. There are several differing opinions as to the circumstances under which it was supposedly revealed. According to Ibn Ishaq, it was revealed in Makka, some time before the Isra and Mi'raj.Imam Ahmad recorded from Anas bin Malik that a man said, "O Messenger of Allah! What is Al-Kawthar He replied: (It is a river in Paradise which my Lord has given me, It is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. There are birds in it whose necks are (long) like carrots.) Umar said, "O Messenger of Allah! Verily, they (the birds) will be beautiful. The Prophet replied, The one who eats them (the people of Paradise) will be more beautiful than them, O Umar. (Sahih Hadith)
