Sinopse

Persian Engineering unveils the sophisticated engineering of ancient Persia, demonstrating how innovative solutions fostered a thriving civilization. The book explores three core domains: the qanat system, a network of underground aqueducts vital for agriculture and urban development in the arid landscape; the meticulously planned road network, crucial for trade and governance; and the monumental architecture, reflecting imperial power. These achievements underscore Persia's significant impact on global technological advancement, challenging Eurocentric views of engineering history.

 
The book argues that Persian engineering was a cohesive system driven by environmental understanding and imperial vision, essential for Persia's stability and prosperity. For example, the qanat system showcased sustainable resource management, while the road network facilitated efficient communication across the vast empire.

 
Structured systematically, the book progresses from an introduction to ancient Persia through detailed examinations of each engineering domain, culminating in a synthesis of their interconnectedness. It relies on archaeological findings, historical texts, and modern engineering analyses to provide a comprehensive account.

 
This book distinguishes itself by adopting a systems-thinking approach, revealing how the qanat system, roads, and architecture formed a resilient infrastructure. By analyzing underlying principles and socio-political contexts, Persian Engineering offers valuable insights for contemporary challenges in sustainable design and infrastructure development, making it relevant to both historical scholars and modern practitioners.

Tao Te Ching

Lao Tzu

The Tao Te Ching, Daodejing, Dao De Jing, or Daode jing, also simply referred to as the Laozi, is a Chinese classic text. According to tradition, it was written around 6th century BC by the sage Laozi, a record-keeper at the Zhou dynasty court, by whose name the text is known in China. The text's true authorship and date of composition or compilation are still debated, although the oldest excavated text dates back to the late 4th century BC.The Tao Te Ching, along with the Zhuangzi, is a fundamental text for both philosophical and religious Taoism, and strongly influenced other schools, such as Legalism, Confucianism, and Chinese Buddhism, which when first introduced into China was largely interpreted through the use of Daoist words and concepts. Many Chinese artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers, and even gardeners, have used the Daodejing as a source of inspiration. Its influence has also spread widely outside East Asia, and is among the most translated works in world literature.

The Perception Revolution - How...

Peter Allen Mann

A Fast Company Press Book

Uncover the Hidden Advantage of Neurodiversity in the Workplace

Corporations are hemorrhaging their most innovative talent, and it’s entirely preventable. The Perception Revolution presents a transformational blueprint that goes beyond accommodation of neurodiverse individuals to genuine inclusivity where the workplace works for everyone, fixes retention issues, and stops innovation loss.

With empathy, humor, and actionable advice, entrepreneur and CEO Peter Mann writes from a neurodivergent perspective and shows how those who have been labeled “too sensitive”—because they can process sensory and emotional information deeply—are actually highly perceptive and possess the very skills needed to prevent million-dollar mistakes, spot opportunities before competitors, and create a better culture for all. Mann offers his SHIELD framework: a battle-tested protection system combining neuroscience, workplace research, and lived experience that help you learn to identify and combat the toxic behavior that saps the strength of perceptive employees so that they can be their most productive.

This book is a must-read for neurodivergent employees who are ready to soar, as well as anyone who manages, works with, or wants to retain top, perceptive talent. Join The Perception Revolution and learn how valuing highly sensitive employees can help you shape your organization into a talent magnet where innovation and productivity flourish.
