  Malaysia is no easy country to analyse, or even to understand. With so many narratives about the country, its peoples, and its histories, the noise generated — both online and off — can be as deafening as that of any rave party. 
   
  Since 2019, Malaysians have lived through a unique period in the country’s history: Amid the Covid pandemic and its many challenges, Malaysia experienced three prime minister changes, and countless other political dramas and plot twists. 
   
  Signals in the Noise is not just a book on politics, though. Moving with ease between different sociopolitical and socioeconomic discourses, this collection of Ooi Kee Beng’s columns and commentaries — published between 2019 and 2023 — showcases more than ever his talent as a historian and philosopher, alongside his prowess as a political scientist. 
   
  This wide-ranging collection is a must-read beginner's guide to Malaysian politics. It also highlights Ooi’s love for his hometown of Penang, his concern for the environment, and how the arts define a society and its perceptions of the world.

  A.J. Baime’s The Arsenal of Democracy (2014) is partly a history book about American President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who led his nation through the Great Depression only to face the threat of a looming war. It’s also a chronicle of the golden years of Detroit, which formed the center of American vehicle and war material production during World War II. Most importantly, though, it details the rise of the Ford Motor Company and the legacy of its founder Henry Ford and his son Edsel, who were torn apart over how to best serve the country and the company they loved.

  Nicole M. Joseph investigates factors that contribute to the glaring underrepresentation of Black female students in mathematics. Joseph's account calls attention to educational structures and practices that contribute to race- and gender-based stratification in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. 
   
   
   
  In her assessment of the intersectional difficulties facing this marginalized group, Joseph offers a critical view of the existing mathematics education research, practice, and policies that have neglected Black girls and women; confronts the problematic history of mathematics education policy; and considers imbalances in the current teacher workforce in United States mathematics programs. She then provides suggestions for reform. Joseph invites students, families, and educators, as well as researchers, policy makers, and other relevant stakeholders to disrupt systems, structures, and ideologies. She calls for an end to racism and sexism in many areas of mathematics education. 
   
   
   
  A must-listen for anyone concerned about supporting the mathematical learning and development of Black girls and women, this work advocates for coalition-building so that greater, more equitable opportunities for learning and engagement may be offered to Black female students.

  Intelligence is a multifaceted and complex concept that has intrigued scholars, psychologists, and philosophers for centuries. While it is often linked to academic success, intelligence encompasses far more than the ability to solve problems or excel in standardized tests. At its core, intelligence is the capacity to learn, adapt, reason, understand, and apply knowledge to navigate the world around us. Its study has evolved significantly over time, with numerous theories and models aiming to define, measure, and understand it in its various forms. 
    
  The concept of intelligence is not fixed; rather, it changes depending on cultural, environmental, and societal contexts. Different societies may value specific cognitive abilities, such as logical reasoning, creativity, or emotional understanding, over others. This variance has led to the development of numerous theories that attempt to capture the essence of human intelligence. From early psychological studies to contemporary research, the exploration of intelligence continues to spark debate among scholars and practitioners alike.
