Ancoats, in Manchester, was once unimaginably different. One of the world's earliest industrial suburbs, it was dark and dense, noisy, frenetic, violent and unhealthy. It was also vibrant and creative. It had a striking vapour, sound and feel. The area today has undergone a striking regeneration. New streets, pavements and civic spaces have been laid down. A series of installations, known as The Peeps, have been created for the area. Built into the fabric of the buildings, the brass peep holes offer a fleeting glimpse of a walled-in space, a tunnel, a disused toilet, a bell tower, a gauge. Dan Dubowitz, given the title of 'cultural masterplanner', records through photographs, interviews, commentary and contemporaneous texts, the recent past and the current regeneration of the suburb. It is a fascinating, beautifully illustrated and designed volume that eloquently depicts the common narrative of industrialisation, slow decay and rebirth.
In 2008, Manchester decided to embark on a counter-cyclical project, much as the city fathers had done in the last great recession, and invest significantly in two civic buildings, two buildings that were cornerstones of the making of the first modern industrialised city: Manchester Town Hall Extension and Manchester Central Library. Early on in this major redevelopment project, artists Dan Dubowitz and Alan Ward were given privileged and open access to witness this transformational period in the life of these two iconic buildings. Through large-format photographs and interviews taken and conducted over a period of eighteen months, they captured the moment when the city's citizens and workers had been locked out and the spaces were being stripped bare; revealing both a glimpse of what they had been and what they might become. The artwork provides insights on the reciprocal relationship between people and place, and reveals how the refurbishment of a building can go far beyond physical refurbishment, questioning the relationships between a city, its citizens and place.

Andalusia reached the peak of the glory of Islamic art civilization with the construction of the Alhambra palace in Granada during the reign of the Nasriyyah kingdom. The rulers of the Christian kingdom always attacked the Islamic kingdom in order to take back the colonies that were occupied by Islam and then eliminate Islam. The Christian dream of seeing the Islamic rule wiped out in Andalusia was successfully fulfilled by Queen Isabella and her husband, King Ferdinand when they conquered Granada, the last stronghold of the Muslims. Abu Abdullah became the last Muslim ruler in Andalusia when he was forced to surrender Granada to the hands of Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand. When leaving Granada, she shed tears until her mother said, "Don't cry like a woman for something you can't stand like a man.

Enrique from Malacca is a man of Malay descent who participated in Ferdinand Magellan's voyage around the world. Enrique became a slave of the Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan in 1511 at the age of 14 when the Portuguese colonized Malacca. Enrique is documented to have traveled with Magellan from Malacca to Cebu in two segments, namely from Malacca to Portugal in 1511, and from Spain to Cebu from 1519 to 1521. Enrique's name is recorded in the list of names of the main crew in the voyage to the Moluccas led by Magellan, which is Trinidad.Some historians argue that it is possible that Enrique was the first person to circumnavigate the globe and return to his starting point. However, there are no records or sources to confirm this. Is it true that Enrique was the first Malay to circumnavigate the world?

The Beauty of Malaysian Songket (Keindahan Kain Tenun Songket Malaysia) is one of the publications created by The National Department for Arts and Culture in 2022. This exclusive publication on Malaysian songket encompasses bilingual documented material in both Malay and English that will fulfill the needs of a diverse audience. It also incorporates augmented reality (AR) technology, which will be a pioneering feat and will set a new benchmark for future academic publications. Prof Norwani Md. Nawawi, the author of the book, conducted thorough research involving many of the main songket figures in Terengganu, Kelantan, Pahang, Melaka, Johor and Sarawak. It is hoped that the publication of this book will add to the references on artistic cultural heritage and at the same time provide a clear testament that songket is a treasure of national heritage that should remain as one of the catalysts for national civilisation.

Un ours dans mon lit et un chacal dans mon four De drôles d’aventures d’un zoologue de la vie sauvage israélien par Avinoam Lourie et Cissy Shapiro Combien de personnes peuvent se vanter d’avoir eu un ours syrien dans leur lit ? Ou d’avoir réchauffé un chacal dans leur four ? D’avoir été chargé par les cornes d’un chevreuil jaloux ? D’avoir été attaqué par un tigre ? Ou encore de voir des singes se balancer du lustre de leur salon ? Et d’avoir égaré un serpent dans un avion ? Ce sont quelques unes des expériences passionnées, amusantes et éducatives qu’a vécues, avec une variété d’animaux sauvages exotiques, le zoologue israélien Avinoam Lourie, ainsi que les membres de sa famille. Il les raconte avec enthousiasme et humour, de sa manière spirituelle et la sagesse bien connues qui captivent ses lecteurs. Avinoam Lourie a participé à amener en Israël plusieurs espèces en danger ; il s’est vu décerner la Médaille d’Honneur du Président de l’Etat d’Israël et il a été sélectionné comme l’un des « 100 Notables de la Ville » de Haïfa. « Ayant accompagné Avi sur le terrain quand il apprenait à de nouvelles générations d’israéliens à connaître leurs écosystèmes natifs, c’est une joie de partager le drame, l’humour, et les dessous refermés dans ce recueil fascinant », Sneed Collard III, auteur et éditeur, habitant à Missoula, au Montana, lauréat du Prix des œuvres non fictionnelles de la Guilde du livre d’enfants du Washington Post. « Beaucoup de nos amis avaient des chiens, des chats et autres animaux domestiques, mais aucun n’a vu son père rentrer à la maison avec un tigre, un ours ou même un singe, comme cela arrivait chez nous ! », Dr Barak Lourie (le fils cadet d’Avinoam), de Haïfa, Israël. « Il m’a appris que les animaux sont juste comme les personnes : conduisez-vous bien vis-à-vis d’eux et ils vous traiteront de même » résumé du message d’Avinoam par un de ses étudiants à la classe de 4ème de l’école secondaire de Vie naturelle et d’écologie de premier cycle de Green Bay, au Wisconsin.
