Kamal Shair's book is a classic rags to riches story: the village boy, who with determination and education, achieves business success, wealth, more wealth, and then influence and power. What makes it unusual is that it emanates from the Arab world. Rarely among Arabs have individuals from thoroughly modest backgrounds, with no access to links, networks or connections become truly global commercial players. Shair was born in a small town in what was then Transjordan and dragged himself through school (his mother was illiterate), moved to college in Beirut, then sailed off to America (Michigan and Yale) and returned to the Middle East to create a multinational corporate empire engaged in trade, construction and manufacturing. Dar al Handasah - Arabic for House of Engineers - was founded in a small flat in Beirut and today, spans the globe with offices in 37 countries. In its early years, Dar al Handasah fought off competition from established western consultancies to win contracts for prestige engineering throughout the Middle East. Eventually, its activities extended further to Europe, the United States, Africa and Asia. By not following the usual pattern of patronage and favours, Kamal Shair applied a fresh kind of ethic in an environment with a loosely-structured business ethic. In the process, he lived through and witnessed at first hand and at close quarters some of the most dramatic events of the modern Arab world. This is quite an extraordinary tale and a very original prism through which to read the turbulent post-World War II history of the Middle East. At the same time we see the growth, despite all the odds, of one of the world's great engineering and business enterprises in a narrative of epic and inspirational proportions.

The Emergence of an Arab Global Business

Out of the Middle East

Workplaces in the post-pandemic era have witnessed several drawbacks - along with the perks - amongst employees. Exploring these growing challenges, this book examines the link between disengagement and turnover in modern workplaces. The study distinguishes between active disengagement, where employees deliberately withdraw and impact productivity, and emotional disengagement, where employees disconnect emotionally while still physically present.This volume offers valuable insights based on responses from employees across diverse sectors. It highlights the roles of management, leadership, and peers in tackling disengagement and turnover. Furthermore, it examines whether these issues are rooted in ethics and whether emotionally intelligent employees can help address them. By incorporating phases of organizational and individual crises, the research offers a comprehensive view of these issues. With practical recommendations and real-world insights validated by interviews with senior leaders, this book provides employee-centric solutions to boost engagement, improve retention, and navigate the challenges of a post-pandemic workplace.The book will be of interest to researchers of human resource management, leadership studies, economics, management, sociology, public relation, applied psychology and for HR professionals as well.

An Applied Study

Emotional Disengagement and Employee Turnover in Workplaces

A thrilling history of how we fell in and out of love with a technology that changed not just the world, but changed us. 'Science and technology never seem more exciting than when James Gleick is writing about them' - Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction 'Forces you to see the world with new eyes. Blending expertise with a thrilling narrative . . . I loved it!' - Alice Loxton, author of Eighteen and Eleanor 'Masterful. I learned so much and enjoyed every page of this richly researched, playful, and insightful book' - Tiffany Jenkins, author of Strangers and Intimates A supernatural instrument bringing voices from afar, the telephone burst onto the world stage 150 years ago, a triumphant story of individual ingenuity and vision. Instantly, the ability to speak across vast distances began to transform every part of life: from business organization to military tactics, from news gathering to sex work. But the story of The Telephone is also one of corrupt scheming and ruthless tactics; the race to the patent office, to make money, a contest replete with bribery, fraud and speculation. And no one, not even its inventors, realised what the telephone was good for or how ubiquitous it would become. As the telephone settled into the background - in offices and on streets, on bedside tables and kitchen walls - people forgot how they ever lived without it. Now, as landlines, telephone books and telephone boxes vanish into the past, science writer James Gleick - bestselling author of Chaos - shows how this commonplace object irreversibly changed not only the world but who we are as human beings. 'Charts our distance-compressing, time-shifting telephonic adventure with exceptional brio and subtlety' - Stacy Schiff, author of The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams

A New History

The Telephone

The Book of Tea ¿A Japanese Harmony of Art, Culture, and the Simple Life (1906) by Okakura Kakuz¿ (1906) is a long essay linking the role of chad¿ (teaism) to the aesthetic and cultural aspects of Japanese life and protesting Western caricatures of "the East".

Addressed to a Western audience, it was originally written in English and is one of the great English tea classics. Okakura had been taught at a young age to speak English and was proficient at communicating his thoughts to the Western mind. In his book, he discusses such topics as Zen and Taoism, but also the secular aspects of tea and Japanese life. The book emphasizes how Teaism taught the Japanese many things, the most important of which were simplicity and humility:

It (Teaism) insulates purity and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the romanticism of the social order. It is essentially a worship of the Imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in this impossible thing we know as life.

This, Okakura believed, was an aesthetic that should inform everything from the arts and architecture to daily life and was already informing them in Japan.

Mit scharfem Humor, feministischer Power und einer Extraportion Sexpositivität erzählt sie unverblümt von spicy Momenten, Tabubrüchen und dem Mut, man selbst zu sein.Statt Hochglanz-Ratschlägen gibt es bei Susanna rohe Anekdoten, ehrliche Reality-Checks und Trost für all die Momente, in denen Selbstliebe wie ein Fremdwort klingt. Zwischen Seelenstriptease und praktischen Tipps zeigt sie, wie man Scham und Bullshit über Bord wirft - und das eigene Leben, mit all seinen Facetten, mutig selbst in die Hand nimmt. Lust, Körper und Fehler inklusive.Für alle, die es satthaben, sich vom gesellschaftlichen Lärm, engen Rollenbildern und Sex-Scham bremsen zu lassen. Denn echte Selbstbestimmung ist kein Nice-to-have - sie ist das größte Geschenk, das man sich selbst machen kann.

The TV and Movie industries created the Italian American stereotypes we know today. 
These stereotypes don't reflect the extraordinary impacts of Italian American individuals of all ages and economic backgrounds on the cultural and economic advancement of the United States to address this, the Italian American Reputation Lab (IARL) is presenting an analytic report on how the historical and current Italian diaspora depict a very different narrative than the mainstream media of how Italian-Americans have contributed to shaping the cultural and economic fabric of the United States.

Davide Ippolito is one of the foremost international experts on Reputation Literacy, Reputation Management, and Contents Creation. He's a publisher, a filmmaker, and a producer of both feature films and documentaries which are available on Amazon Prime and Pluto. Founder of the streaming media platform Business+, he serves as the Chief Scientific Officer for the USA-based Italian American Reputation Lab (IARL). For a decade Ippolito consulted with prominent Italian organizations and media/TV outlets operating in the diplomatic, academic, and industrial sectors. In recent years he has been engaged by international and US entities such as the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF), the Columbus Foundation, and the United Nations. Davide has authored several books on the Reputation Management topic and on September 12th, 2023, he released his new docu-film "New York Solo Andata" at the Italian Cultural Center of New York City. Davide regularly writes for several Italian magazines and newspapers, and he participates in various Italian national television news programs and talk shows.

The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind (French: Psychologie des Foules; literally: Psychology of Crowds) is a book authored by Gustave Le Bon that was first published in 1895.

In the book, Le Bon claims that there are several characteristics of crowd psychology: "impulsiveness, irritability, incapacity to reason, the absence of judgement of the critical spirit, the exaggeration of sentiments, and others. Le Bon claimed that "an individual immersed for some length of time in a crowd soon finds himself - either in consequence of magnetic influence given out by the crowd or from some other cause of which we are ignorant - in a special state, which much resembles the state of fascination in which the hypnotized individual finds himself in the hands of the hypnotizer.

The Crowd

Freemasonry, the world's oldest and largest fraternity, has been famously described as "a system of morality, in allegory and illustrated by symbols." One of the fraternity's hallmarks, however, is a relaxed attitude in regard to the interpretation of symbolism, since very few of its symbols are clearly explained in the rituals. Rather, the Fraternity encourages its members to investigate the symbols themselves. In this never-before-published work, Albert Pike turns his profound erudition and penetrating intellect to an investigation of the sources and meanings of the oldest and most frequently encountered Masonic symbols. Pike was arguably the most notable character in the history of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, as he revised its constitutions and rituals, and wrote scores of works that influenced the practices of virtually every Supreme Council worldwide. Pike, who believed that symbolism was the "soul of Masonry," was dissatisfied with the "diet of straw" fed to students of Masonic symbolism. is led him to investigate the esoteric sources he believed contributed their wisdom to the Fraternity in an attempt to rationally account for their introduction and significance. He prepared and printed, in limited editions, two studies on Masonic symbolism, but many questions were left unanswered. In addition, he prepared the present text under the title, Esoterika, but he considered it too esoteric to be printed. It thus remained in manuscript in the private archives of the Supreme Council where only a handful Masons have been allowed to see it. 

Now in its second edition, this book includes the summation of Pike's many private discourses and lectures which kept audiences spellbound for hours on end. It treats such topic as the "Square and Compasses," "Weapons and Blows of the Assassins," "The 47th Problem," and much more. The editor has added an introduction, additional illustrations, copious critical notes, and several appendices, which double the length of the original manuscript. Among the appendices are the complete texts of four early catechisms and exposés Pike mentioned throughout his study. Although these exposures differ greatly from Freemasonry as practiced today, they may help us understand how Pike arrived at his ideas.
