  We broke our new series on learning Indonesian down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
  This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Indonesian.  
  In Unit 1 you will hear Indonesian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
  Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Indonesian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
  By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Indonesian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Indonesian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Indonesian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
  In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

  Rise and Fall of the Stuart...

  Editors Charles River

  England has more often been faced with the claims of competing kings and queens than with a period of no monarch at all. The major exception to that rule came in the 11 years between 1649 and 1660, when England was a republic. Following the disastrous reign of Charles I and the civil wars that led to his execution, Parliament and the army ruled England. England’s republican experiment started out as a work of collaboration and compromise; lords, army officers and members of Parliament (MPs) worked together to find a political settlement that did not include the despised royal House of Stuart. Nonetheless, religious and political division made collective rule unworkable, and ultimately, one man emerged from the chaos to rule the country. He had risen from a humble background to become the leading general of the Civil Wars, and as a man of staunch beliefs and ruthless pragmatism, he controlled England from 1653-1658 under the title of Lord Protector. In essence, he was a king in all but name. That man was Oliver Cromwell, and in the popular imagination, Cromwell has overshadowed the rest of the leaders of the parliamentary cause and the New Model Army.  
  Cromwell’s death would lead to a restoration of the royal line, but an uprising of a completely different nature would soon unfold on English soil – the Glorious Revolution, an intriguing story of a power war exacerbated by ruthless ambition, under-the-table plotting, and the treachery of familial betrayal. That said, it’s important to remember that the deposed James II did try to return to England, and there would be generations of war waged for the Stuart cause by the Jacobites, who were not only supporters of the exiled Stuart monarchy, but also against the political and religious settlements agreed to across the British Isles. It’s no surprise the Jacobites continue to interest so many people, as do the plot twists, near misses, and “what-ifs” involved.

  G'day. If you're looking for the official rundown of The Naked Universe of Pigeon Poo, here is what it's all about.Humanity has a serious problem: we think we are in control. We build massive towers, organize our schedules down to the minute, argue on the internet over things that won't matter in three days, and strut around like we own the place. We think we are the main characters in a very serious drama. But the universe isn't a drama; it’s a comedy, and the ultimate punchline is the splatter. You know the splatter. You step out of your house feeling like a million bucks, ready to conquer the world, and a pigeon with a brain the size of a peanut completely ruins your day with pinpoint accuracy. That splatter isn't bad luck. It is the Naked Universe tapping you on the shoulder and saying, 'Hey, mate. Calm down. You’re not that important'. This book is about waking up to that reality. It’s about taking all the loose ends, the deleted text messages, the lost keys slipping through the cosmic mesh, the grand plans, and the sudden chaos, and realizing that it is all part of the same messy, hilarious, beautiful web. We are surrounded by three trillion tales bumping into each other every second of the day. You can fight the splatter, or you can laugh at it. I suggest laughing, because it’s much better for your blood pressure. It is Humankind Everything.

  Finding Genius: Understanding...

  This book is the result of 30+ interviews of genius-level science professionals in various fields. They have all been asked the same set of questions, and have answered, to the best of their ability and knowledge. What you’re about to read is the answers to these questions, not from all the individuals, but from the most interesting 4 or 5 who answered each question. These interviews are for two kinds of audiences: 1) curious amateurs, and 2) science, engineering, or other professionals who have a general knowledge of and curiosity about science, but who are not experts in the field being covered.  
  At the start of my journey in science, I already had a B.S. in Chemical Engineering, but that was from 1998, certainly not 2016 when I started. Reading scientific papers was difficult at first – I understood about 10% of what I was reading. As I interviewed more scientists, researchers, clinicians and others, I started to pick up the vocabulary and thinking process needed to read scientific papers. After a year of reading, my comprehension increased, and now stands at around 70%, typically. In the areas of Physics or other sciences in which I’m not conversant, I understand about 30%. In advanced math, since it’s a language unto itself, especially at high levels, I am back to the 10% level.  
  Apply yourself, and you’ll be surprised at what you can learn in a year’s time.
