ALL THE PUBLISHER'S PROFITS WILL BE DONATED DIRECTLY TO CHARITIES HELING TO PROTECT THE CHILDREN OF UKRAINE. "I wrote this book about different children from different Ukrainian families in 2017, when Russia had conquered Crimea and temporarily occupied parts of Donetsk and Luhansk. I write these forewords in the bathroom of my Kiev home in the roar of a Russian assailant's fire. I can imagine that one of Maja's classmates is now praying in a bomb shelter, another is writing a letter to his imprisoned father in Russia, and a third has already lost a loved one. It is less likely that one of the boys or girls will start their life in Helsinki. War is always against children. With this text, I want to shout to the world that the children of my country need international protection." Larysa Denysenko, February 2022 Since the occupation of Crimea in 2014, Ukrainian families with children have had to live their daily lives in the shadow of the threat of war. Maja and Friends tells the story of ordinary Ukrainian children and their families. Nine-year-old Maja has 16 classmates, all with different home backgrounds. Sofia's father has disappeared in the battles against Russia. When the war ends, he will hopefully be found. Aksana lives with her father because her mother is dead. Hristina lives with her grandmother because her parents are working abroad. Rais is a Crimean Tatar whose family had to leave his homeland due to the Russian occupation. Timko's parents are divorced, and he lives alternately with his mother and father. Petro is a Roma and has a huge family clan. Maja herself, on the other hand, has two mothers.

This book is a selection of forty beautiful Hadith from Sunan Ibn Majah. The Hadith are accompanied with an easy to follow explanation accessible to readership of all levels and all age ranges. The aim of this book is to give the reader a flavour of Hadith literature within Sunan Ibn Majah. The themes of the Hadith will reflect the unique Hadith collection in Sunan Ibn Majah. The idea is to present a selection of Hadith showing various aspects of the Islamic teachings. The Hadith will mainly reflect themes regarding manners and etiquettes, character of a Muslim, exhortations and admonitions, remembrance of Allah, knowledge and action and beliefs. The goal was to select Hadith with the view to build character, promote spirituality, morals, manners and ethics. Within this volume is a simple discussion of the theoretical parameters of praiseworthy characters every Muslim should aspire to achieve, supererogatory virtuous acts of worship, and the moral philosophy (in particular normative ethics) of these Hadiths. It is hoped that this will open the doors for readers to enquire more about Hadith.

Flourishing in East Java, Indonesia, between the late 13th and the early 16th centuries, art from Majapahit had a decisive influence on the development of Southeast Asian culture: its highly distinctive style was characterised by the subtle balance between form and decoration and by a rich iconography strongly influenced by Sivaism and Buddhism. Today, these Majapahit artworks still constitute a highly interesting field of research, but they have been surprisingly far too little studied or published worldwide. This volume presents an exceptional selection of 86 Majapahit terracotta sculptures covering a wide range of sophisticated iconography - animals, images of motherhood, divinities - all drawn from popular legends of the period and part of a broader narrative series waiting to be discovered.

As part of documenta fifteen, ruangrupa publishes two issues of a magazine, “majalah," in Indonesia exploring the exhibition’s pivotal concept—working collectively. lumbung, which directly translates to “rice barn," refers to a collectively governed building where a community’s harvest is gathered, stored, and distributed according to jointly determined criteria as a pooled resource for the future, but is also understood in a broader sense as a way of working and living together. The two issues — Harvesting and Sharing – combined here in one volume, explore the implications of sharing resources for the collective wellbeing. Featuring short stories and features by leading journalists, researchers, and writers from Indonesia, Majalah lumbung touches on themes such as cosmology, food, and architecture, providing a contextualized foundation for documenta fifteen.
