Sains untuk Manusia is a book carrying articles written by Tan Sri Dzulkifli about the possible effects and influence of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (or Industry 4.0) on scientific research and science education in Malaysia. The articles featured in this book were previously published in MajalahSains. Meanwhile, The Ashes of Hiroshima, an English translation of Othman Puteh’s Debu Hirohima, tells the experience of a young man who experienced the tragic atomic bombing in Hiroshima in 1945.
