Описание: When the American journalist told me he hoped to report the truth about the Kashmir uprising, I decided to help. "The government people won't let you see what is really happening," I said. "Why not let me take you around?" It was foolish of me to make such an offer. I knew I was risking retribution by the security forces. But I was a headstrong, independent young man. I wanted the truth to get out, and I would do what I could to help that happen.
Farooq Kathwari's extraordinary life began in politically divided Kashmir, where his family was separated by government decree. He had to leave home as a refugee, helped his mother survive shock therapy, joined student activists in street demonstrations, and faced down a gun-wielding security officer--all by the age of seventeen.
Forced to become self-reliant, Kathwari journeyed to the United States, talked his way into a bookkeeping job, and earned a degree from NYU graduate school. He launched his first entrepreneurial venture selling Kashmiri crafts out of his Brooklyn apartment. When Kathwari's best customer, the iconic furniture maker Ethan Allen, needed fresh leadership, he was asked to become its president. He transformed the company and become one of America's most successful--and admired--CEOs.
Meanwhile, spurred by the tragic loss of his teenaged son in war, Kathwari dedicated himself to the cause of peace in Kashmir and around the world. He hosted meetings with diplomats, shuttled messages between heads of state, and worked with global leaders on issues from human rights to refugee resettlement.
Brimming with drama, insight, and unexpected humor, Trailblazer recounts a unique life story, offering readers not just an engrossing journey but also the wisdom of an exceptional leader.
The diaries of Dr Hussein Fakhri al-Khalidi offer a unique insight to the peculiarities of colonialism that have shaped Palestinian history. Elected mayor of Jerusalem - his city of birth - in 1935, the physician played a leading role in the Palestinian Rebellion of the next year, with profound consequences for the future of Palestinian resistance and British colonial rule. One of many Palestinian leaders deported as a result of the uprising, it was in British-imposed exile in the Seychelles Islands that al-Khalidi began his diaries.
Written with equal attention to lively personal encounters and ongoing political upheavals, entries in the diaries cover his sudden arrest and deportation by the colonial authorities, the fifteen months of exile on the tropical island, and his subsequent return to political activity in London then Beirut. The diaries provide a historical and personal lens into Palestinian political life in the late 1930s, a period critical to understanding the catastrophic 1948 exodus and dispossession of the Palestinian people. With an introduction by Rashid Khalidi the publication of these diaries offers a wealth of primary material and a perspective on the struggle against colonialism that will be of great value to anyone interested in the Palestinian predicament, past and present.

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.

Описание: The rapid pace of technological change constantly gives rise to new ethical dilemmas. This provides a practical introduction for engineering students that emphasizes ethical decision-making. The authors situate engineering ethics in the wider context of business and environmental ethics and guide students through case studies emphasizing value conflicts often encountered in engineering.
"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"
