  This book is the premium edition of my book "Modern Iran and Ancient Persia"!
  This book is dedicated to the women's movement in Iran.
  If you announce that you are going to Iran, someone will certainly advise you not to go. Ignore them – this is one of the most exciting countries on Earth. There is much to discover, and explore in Iran, not only cultural and historical sites but mountains, deserts and wilderness.
  Above all, this is a place defined by the hospitality and curiosity of Iranians despite a totalitarian regime. According to Lonely Planet's Atlas of Adventure –  "it might well be the friendliest country you ever visit".
  The Persian Empire, which once stretched from Greece to India, has left remnants of an extraordinary rich cultural heritage not only in today's Iran but across the Ancient Empire. From Persepolis, the ancient capital of Persia, to the World Heritage sites in Esfahan and Yazd.
  With its 26 World Heritage Sites, Iran is one of the top 10 countries in the world that represent a masterpiece of human creativity and an exceptional testimony to human civilisation.
  It was 13,000 years ago on the Iranian plateau that Homo sapiens first settled with the advent of agriculture and the first permanent human settlement.
  Zoroastrianism, the world's first monotheistic religion, originated in Persia 4,000 years ago.
  The biblical Magi, also known as the Three Wise Men, were respected Zoroastrian astronomers who came from Persia to "visit" the baby Jesus on the night of his birth in Bethlehem!
  The game of chess as we play it today was invented in Iran about 2,000 years ago.
  The algorithm as we use it today in AI and computer science was invented 1,000 years ago in Iran.
  The stories of "Thousand and One Nights" are taken from the Persian Pahlavi work Hezār Afsān over a thousand years ago.
  With this book we will travel to all those wonderful places of 1001 Nights tales. This is our historical and cultural journey of two weeks to discover authentic places of those stories from our childhood!
  And Iran is a safe destination for tourists, despite a totalitarian regime!

  Africonomics - A History of...

  Bronwen Everill

  A bold, concise history of Western economic interventions in Africa, by the former director of the Centre of African Studies at the University of Cambridge 
   
  For centuries, Westerners have tried to "fix" African economies. From the abolition of slavery onward, missionaries, philanthropists, development economists, and NGOs have arrived on the continent, full of good intentions and bad ideas. Their experiments have invariably gone awry. 
   
  Historian Bronwen Everill argues that these interventions fail, and frequently cause harm, because they start from a misguided premise: that African economies just need to be more like the West. Ignoring Africa's own traditions of economic thought, Americans and Europeans assumed a set of universal economic laws that they thought could be applied anywhere. They enforced specifically Western ideas about growth, wealth, debt, unemployment, inflation, women's work, and more, and used Western metrics to find African countries wanting. 
   
  The West does not know better than African nations how an economy should be run. By laying bare the myths and realities of our tangled economic history, Africonomics moves from Western ignorance to African knowledge.

  Collaborative Intelligence - CQ...

  Collaborative Intelligence is inevitably the next evolution of the Human. It is a functional presence of life through people, manifesting various capabilities as responses to survive or succeed in a particular environment, as individuals/groups/organizations. It is the intelligence to synergize the unique powers placed in individuals. This fact will be acknowledged to be true upon reading, completing and understanding the book to its detail. We have been living our lives placing a heavy demand on our individual intelligence to achieve many things, and have been squeezing it out for results that is beyond its scope.  
  Teamwork and team spirit are acknowledged globally as the foundation for organisational success. There is a sort of underground “life wire” that ignites team spirit and teamwork in a team, besides coordinated skills and attitude of the team members. This book is attempting to reveal that special understanding. Hope the readers are sufficiently alert to discover it. It is simple but may look abstract for this complex mind; however, one can blissfully sense it upon effective contemplation. Shifting from an individualized mind set (singular) to a universal one (plural), shifts behavioural tendencies, competencies, and sensitivities completely. When every member in a group (family/team/organisation/society, etc.) moves from pursuing individual happiness to universal happiness, that group functions more intelligently towards achieving its wellbeing and success goals. This is the next evolution of consciousness in mankind. 
  Your journey through this book is going to be very interesting and very elevating. Your patience, as you go through this book will connect the dots and cause a paradigm shift. You will never be the same when the shift happens.
