"When your views are at odds with the system, how do you walk your talk? What does it mean to live ethically in a world at war?"
Disillusioned with the religious and political models of the 9/11 age, Rafiq asks a question that we all face in our desire for authentic lives: how can he remain in the world and still be true to himself?
His quest for an answer carries him to a job at an Islamic university in Indonesia, where the US embassy is looking for terrorists, and then to the Sufi communes of northern India in search of the mystical. It pulls him into the trenches of 9/11 truth activism in Montreal before immersing him in the peyote ceremonies of the Huichol shamans of Mexico.
"Days of Shock, Days of Wonder" is the eye-opening true story of one man's confrontation with the spiritual and cognitive dissonance of our times - and how at last he escapes Babylon to find wisdom in the earthbound ways of the ancients.
Praise for "Days of Shock, Days of Wonder"
"If Kerouac or Bukowski had shunned alcohol for cannabis, encountered Sufism, and faced 9/11 truth and its implications, the result might have looked a bit like this. An engrossing read and an important document of our time." Kevin Barrett, author of "Truth Jihad" and "9/11 & American Empire"
"Rafiq narrates a twofold journey of discovery, describing how the 9/11 attack was engineered by the Bush administration and why humanity needs to replace religion, based on an external God, with devotion to the divine as a unifying force that lives in all of us." David Ray Griffin, author of "9/11 Ten Years Later" and "God Exists, although Gawd Does Not"
"This book links one man's luminous journey with a nation's crisis of identity and waywardness in the aftermath of the state crime that was 9/11. Rafiq gives us a deeply engaging account of arriving on the other side of a new awareness of our world from which there is no returning. Having shared this experience, I drew much solace and inspiration from his lyrical meditation on choice, doubt, determination, and resolve." Matthew Witt, co-editor of "State Crimes against Democracy"

Описание: This book provides extensive practical knowledge on Interface Management and how it influences the overall life- cycle of project management on oil & gas mega-projects. Also provides a review on how interface management enhanced the Concurrent Engineering, its multi-discipline design & engineering performed concurrently. The Interface Management augments safety, quality and savings on the projects, is an integral part of the overall project management, and mechanism to manage the internal & external interfaces. The Interface Management encompasses all the ten facets of PMI's "PMBOK" that includes Integration, Scope, Time, Cost, HSEQR*, Procurement, HR, Communications, Risk, and Stakeholder Managements. The Interface Management processes ensure prompt, regimented and documented mode of coordination amongst the disciplines, various entities & project team members called the Work-groups - (WG's). The Clients, Operators and EPC Companies are all in agreement that an ineffective Interface Management is one of the major root-causes of budget over-runs & schedule delays that also impact the Safety & Quality. An effective interface management ensures project scope completion, delivery on time and budget to the satisfaction of project stakeholders. The conclusion is with path forward & lessons learned, etc.
