also don't drag. The cover is thick so it doesn't penetrate the sun. The handle for pushing is also
comfortable and not slippery. There is a place to store luggage underneath so it's not a hassle again

want to review)

ISBN: (fill in according to the ISBN in the book)

Author: Yuliana Utami

Publisher: Media Library

Issued: August 25, 2020

Pages: 156 pages

Book Category: Non Fiction

 The book, entitled Understanding the Heart, tells the story of ethics in understanding one's
heart when viewed from various perspectives, including from the point of view of
psychology.
 The contents of a person's heart that is considered mysterious can be read through various
things that appear in a person, one of which is through his movements. Yuliana Utami, who
is a talented young writer, writes about how the heart process works in general.
 From a psychological point of view, Yuliani Utami describes how the heart is in every
situation. What I like about this book is when the author gives real-life examples of every
heart condition being discussed.
 Readers can better understand how the heart process works in certain situations. The
language used is also quite friendly, so it is easy to understand.
  However, there are parts of this book that I didn't like. In some explanations of
understanding the heart in this book, the author does not include a strong source. Even
though this book is included in the non-fiction category, which means that every insight in it
can be strengthened by existing sources.
 Even so, the author managed to attract the reader's attention with case examples and
language arranged in a relaxed but clear manner. The book, which has a thickness of 156
pages, has a pretty good cover.
 The selection of images and colors illustrates the contents of this book at a glance. In the
writing section of the title there is also a bold or embossed print that adds to the luxurious
impression of this book. This non-fiction book has sold quite a lot among the public.
 This book 'understanding the contents of the day' is not only suitable for adults to read,
teenagers can also learn a lot from the contents of this one book. Moreover, the explanation
in it can also guide the reader to be able to behave and be civilized in front of many types of
people.
 Although it has some shortcomings as mentioned above, this book has received a good
appreciation and welcome from non-fiction book readers in Indonesia. This can also be
proven from the many positive comments by reading experts behind the cover.
 For the rating, I think this book deserves an 8 out of 10 rating. The content and purpose of
this book is quite good in the eyes of the readers. Sales are quite a lot within 3 is also not a
proof that this book is recommended enough for everyone.

Malaysia Chaotic, Thousands Arrested

Kuala Lumpur-Political chaos in Malaysia. Demonstrations demanding reform in the neighboring

country led to clashes between

security forces and thousands of demonstrators. In the clashes that occurred in the capital Kuala
Lumpur, at least 1,400 people were arrested.

Dozens of people were reported injured, but there were no reports of serious injuries. As a result of
barricades installed throughout the city and clashes, since Friday (8/7) night Kuala Lumpur has
become like a dead city. Some analysts said the police action was excessive and would tarnish the
image of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Strict action was taken by the Malaysian police because they considered yesterday's demonstration
illegal. Polls! also repeatedly threw tear gas to disperse demonstrators and arrested activists for
refusing an offer by the authorities to hold a demonstration in a more suitable place.
