Romano G: THE $5,000 COMMENT

THE $5,000 COMMENT

How Online Provocations Make You Lose Money, Time and Peace - And How to Fight Back

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.

Out of the Middle East

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.

The Book of Tea

A definitive collection of essays by one of the leading living theorists of social power, brought together here for the first time. In this consolidated summation of his works, Steven Lukes reflects on the central questions and changing nature of 'the power debate' as it has evolved since the publication of his seminal work Power: A Radical View. Including six essays on power as it relates to central themes of truth, domination and moral responsibility, and engaging with nine influential recent and contemporary theorists of power, Power and Domination and Other Essays provides a major critique of a debate that remains as alive and contentious as ever. Bringing up to date Lukes's work on power in one accessible volume, this book is an essential companion to Power: A Radical View, now in its third edition, and useful for all undergraduate and postgraduate students of the history of social and political thought, political science and political sociology.

Power and Domination and Other Essays

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.

Emotional Disengagement and Employee Turnover in Workplaces

"Scheiß drauf, was die Leute denken" - klingt nach Befreiung, fühlt sich aber oft eher wie ein Sprung ins kalte Wasser an. Susanna Bouchain weiß genau, wie es ist, zwischen Dorfklatsch, Social-Media-Shitstorms und den eigenen Unsicherheiten zu schwimmen. 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.

A Complete Guide to Understanding the Hidden Internet - Tor, Anonymity, Cryptocurrency, and the Digital Underground

This volume presents an empirically rich and theoretically grounded exploration of the dynamic and emergent interplay between Design and Science and Technology Studies (STS). Tracing the interwoven histories of both fields, Alex Wilkie and Mike Michael explore their evolving interrelations. Whether as a substantive topic, a source of methodological innovation, or a novel model of engagement with users and publics, Design has come to influence how research is conducted in STS. Conversely, STS now informs ongoing developments in Design's research practices, providing a rich source of concepts, an analytically inspiring resource, and a means to empirical complexification. Cutting across an array of conceptual, methodological and substantive registers, Enfolding Design and STS develops a new treatment of recent interdisciplinary engagements where knowledge production, interventionist methods and practices of making are brought together, re-thought and transformed at both theoretical and empirical levels. Along the way, the authors draw on a diverse set of case studies including examples of environmental, biomedical, computational and domestic processes, and a variety of theoretical framings such as post-Actor-Network Theory, assemblage theory, Whiteheadian process philosophy, and ontological aesthetics. Building on these discussions, this book offers a fresh topological perspective that, tentatively and heuristically, provides a conceptual vocabulary and a methodological toolkit for navigating the unfolding interdisciplinary mutualities of STS and Design

Enfolding Design and STS

Plato's Apology - A Riveting Defense of Philosophy and the Pursuit of Truth
Step into the courtroom of ancient Athens and witness a moment that forever shaped the course of Western thought. Plato's "Apology" is not an apology in the modern sense but a powerful and eloquent defense of philosophy, virtue, and the examined life, as spoken by Socrates himself.

In this timeless dialogue, Socrates stands trial, accused of corrupting the youth and challenging the gods of Athens. Armed only with his words, he confronts his accusers with sharp logic, unyielding honesty, and a fearless pursuit of truth. His defense transcends the courtroom, posing questions that still resonate: What does it mean to live a good life? Is it better to suffer injustice than to commit it? And how should we face death?

Perfect for readers who:

Seek to explore the foundations of philosophy and ethics
Are inspired by courageous thinkers who challenge the status quo
Enjoy timeless debates on morality, justice, and the human spirit
"Plato's Apology" is more than a historical account-it's a bold challenge to live authentically, question boldly, and think deeply. Whether you're a seasoned philosopher or just beginning your journey into the classics, this is a must-read that will ignite your mind and stir your soul.

Dare to embrace wisdom. Add this cornerstone of philosophical thought to your collection today.
