M uhammad SAW : Putera Lembah Bakkah memaparkan sirah hidup Rasulullah SAW bermula dari beberapa

tahun sebelum kelahiran sehinggalah baginda berusia 25 tahun. Persembahan memfokuskan pada anekdot­anekdot tertentu yang popular dalam sejarah. Dihidangkan secara pengisahan iaitu dalam bentuk persembahan sastera kreatif—memasukkan unsur­unsur latar peristiwa, situasi, sub plot dan pergolakan perasaan.

Pembaca dibawa mengikuti setiap episod secara bersahaja, tetapi menghiburkan dan mengasyikkan. Tanpa sedar, perlahan­lahan menghidupkan bayangan imaginasi di dalam minda bagi babak yang ditatap.

Walaupun dihidangkan dalam gaya persembahan sastera kreatif yang banyak melibatkan ‘campur tangan’ kreativiti penulis, kisah­kisah yang disampaikan adalah berdasarkan fakta yang benar dan tepat. Hanya digubah dengan unsur­unsur kreatif bagi menghasilkan cerita yang lebih hidup, segar dan memberikan nikmat tersendiri untuk dihayati.

Diharapkan buku ini dapat melahirkan rasa cinta kita kepada junjungan besar Nabi Muhammad SAW, seterusnya mengamalkan segala ajaran baginda.

W hile this book does a nice job showing the value of wargaming, I thought it did an even better job showing

the value of stepping out of your comfort zone, looking around at the

bigger picture, and taking the time to plan for the unexpected. Too often,

we are afraid to learn the truth, and this book, through its liberal use of

scenarios, illustrates the potential people have to overcome complex

problems by working together. Some of the scenarios were disturbing,

many were eye­opening, and all were insightful. I highly recommend this

book for anyone interested in strategic planning, training, consulting,

process improvement, or leadership.

T elah dimaktubkan di dalam ayat ke­164 surah Al­Baqarah bahawa satu daripada tujuan Al­Quran diwahyukan ialah

untuk menyeru manusia untuk berfikir:

“Sesungguhnya tentang kejadian langit dan bumi perbezaan malam

dan siang, dan kapal yang berlayar di lautan demi manfaat umat manusia,

dan hujan yang diturunkan Allah dari langit, lalu dihidupkan­Nya bumi

yang telah mati dan berkeliaran di atasnya haiwan yang melata, dan angin

yang bertiup serta awan yang terbentang di antara langit dan bumi, adalah

tanda bagi golongan yang berfikir.”

Di dalam Al­Quran juga terdapat beratus­ratus ayat yang seumpama

dengan tujuan mengajak manusia menghayati dan memikirkan setiap

ciptaan­Nya. Dengan memahami keindahan ciptaan tubuh badan atau pun

makhluk hidupan lain di dalam alam, manusia pasti akan mengiktiraf akan

rekaan bijaksana, kehebatan, perancangan dan keagungan Allah SWT.

Buku ini ditulis untuk mendedahkan akan petanda Maha Pencipta. Perpustakaan MAMPU ­ 5 ­

Surat daripada Dr. Mahathir adalah edisi tambahan kepada Dr. Mahathir di Sebalik Tabir hasil karya Zainuddin Maidin yang cetakan pertamanya diterbitkan oleh Utusan Publications & Distributors Sdn. Bhd pada tahun 1994 dan diulang cetak dua kali sehingga mencapai jumlah jualan lebih 50,000 dalam edisi Bahasa Melayu, Inggeris, Tamil dan Mandarin.

Edisi tambahan ini mencatatkan babak dramatik dan kontroversi yang terus mewarnai kehidupan Dr. Mahathir Mohamad selepas persaraannya yang mulanya disangka ramai, beliau akan sepi menyendiri dan tidak lagi akan terdengar suara dan aksinya dalam kancah percaturan politik negara. Tindakannya yang paling menggemparkan selepas persaraannya ialah keluar daripada UMNO sebagai kemuncak persengketaannya dengan Perdana Menteri yang dilantiknya Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

Adalah benar seperti yang dicatatkan dalam terbitan pertama buku ini, Dr. Mahathir adalah tokoh yang membingungkan, digerakkan oleh politiknya yang pragmatik seperti yang terzahir oleh visinya membina Malaysia baru sebagai negara industri dalam menempuh abad ke­21. Semasa kekuasaannya, beliau banyak melakukan perkara yang menghairankan baik dalam kalangan rakan­rakan mahupun musuh­musuhnya. Beliau menyaksikan pemergian tiga timbalan beliau yang amat dipercayai.

E xperience may be a leader's best teacher­­but there's a hitch. Two people can have identical experiences, but one blossoms while the other is depleted. The same can be said for any pair of fired CEOs, unsuccessful political candidates, or rookie supervisors.

In Crucibles of Leadership, Robert J. Thomas concludes that what matters most is what one makes of experience, particularly the traumatic and often unplanned crucible events that challenge one's identity as a leader. What distinguishes leaders who grow through a crucible experience? Their approach to learning. Like accomplished athletes or artists, they practice as strenuously as they perform. And because the line between performance and practice is often hard to discern, they learn how to practice while they perform.

But theirs is no ordinary practice. It's a regimen tailored to individual aspirations, motivations, and learning styles­­a Personal Learning Strategy. Building on insightful and moving stories told by accomplished leaders, Thomas offers probing self­assessments and innovative tools designed to help you develop your own Personal Learning Strategy.

Provocative and original, with examples drawn from business and politics as well as from the inner workings of the Mormon Church and the Hell's Angels, Thomas's book will revolutionize the way you think about leadership and learning.

companies, John Knapp provides a valuable service to all who believe that

business ethics is a fundamental driver of business success. The strong

the courage to speak out, even when it may mean controversial critiques

of their own companies or professions. This book should be read by every

executive in business today both as a primer on ethical business

leadership, and as a guide to action in an increasingly complex and

challenging global business environment.

M inda adalah anugerah Allah kepada manusia. Ia adalah pintu gerbang segala kehebatan. Semakin dalam manusia mengkaji dan meneroka mindanya, semakin banyak kehebatan yang terpancar dalam dirinya.

Namun, minda yang tidak dipandu oleh wahyu mudah tersasar. Kehebatan yang terpancar tidak menyumbang kepada peningkatan kualiti diri manusiawi. Akhirnya, semakin dalam minda diterokai, semakin menebal perasaan bongkak dalam hati.

Revolusi IQ­EQ­SQ menyoroti tirai misteri struktur dan fungsi minda yang kompleks. Ia menjelaskan aspek berkaitan minda daripada dua perspektif iaitu agama dan sains. Ia membahaskan teori IQ­EQ­SQ melalui landasan Quran tanpa menafikan penemuan­penemuan dalam disiplin ilmu neurosains. Setiap aspek dijelaskan melalui bahasa yang mudah dicerna bagi memudahkan pembaca memahami, menghayati dan menterjemahkannya dalam realiti.

Justeru, marilah bersama­sama memanfaatkan ia dalam meningkatkan kefahaman dan penghayatan kepada potensi minda supaya ia dapat diserlahkan secara maksimum dan bijaksana.

Arshad Ayub born on 15 November 1928, was late bloomer. Not by choice but by circumstances beyond his control. He was incredibly poor, malnourished, often ill and had much to bear at a young age. Being the eldest he had to look after his siblings; especially when his parents died, one after another, due to illness caused by abject poverty.

However his star was cast­bright, purposeful and lustrous. Life could have passed him by if not for samaritan friends and teachers. Not one to be easily daunted, Arshad took on every educational chance afforded him to advance and improve his position in life. He learned the attributes of determination, resourcefulness and hard work early in life.

ITM was Arshad’s gauntlet. He put heart and soul into its beginnings, nurturing it concepts and programmes then unknown and unexplored in the higher education sector. The fact that the students were in some ways ‘late bloomers’ like him, only spurred him on.

There is no doubt that Arshad valued being ITM’s director. He ‘ruled’ with vision and made long lasting decisions that affected the lives of thousands bumiputras and imbued the staff regardless of ethnic background, gender, race or religion with high teaching morale, commitment and work ethics.

What would life be if not for another chance? For Arshad, A Second Chance is more than a metaphor, as such chances do not come along by accident. Opportunities are often available but such opportunities only become truly second chances when we recognize them and use them to achieve success.

The seventy­one letters by Dr Mahathir, Bush, Chirac, Blair, Thatcher and Prince Charles (among others) are unique as they argue their contrasting positions on terrorism, globalization, economic and diplomatic relations, as well as war and conflicts. The correspondence presents a less­than­ideal world for the reader to inhabit.

The correspondents were transparent, solid, informative, and sometimes robust. The memories they and their words leave behind are always startling.

Dr Mahathir writes directly, in his own recognizable voice and style, an extremely unique correspondence by a very remarkable Malaysian Prime Minister. An excellent book to be enjoyed, on many different levels, by all who love politics, diplomacy and international relations.

None of these letters has been published before and the most obvious feature for English language students (in Malaysia and Asia) is that the style of explanations on various complex issues are written in ordinary English sentences. Readers, teachers, students and politicians will welcome this book, as the publisher and editor do. Reading this book inspires us to love and serve politics even more.
