  The Mythology of Atlantis -...

  The legend of Atlantis has fascinated historians, philosophers, and adventurers for centuries. First described by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, Atlantis was said to be a powerful and advanced civilization that mysteriously vanished beneath the sea. Despite being written over 2,000 years ago, Plato’s account continues to inspire countless theories, books, and even modern expeditions in search of this lost world. But was Atlantis ever real, or was it simply a metaphor for human folly? Understanding the origins of this myth is crucial to separating historical possibility from pure fantasy.  
    
  Plato’s dialogues, Timaeus* and *Critias, provide the earliest known description of Atlantis. According to him, the island was a technologically superior and wealthy society that existed around 9,000 years before his time. It was said to be located beyond the "Pillars of Hercules," now known as the Strait of Gibraltar. However, due to the moral corruption of its people, the gods allegedly punished Atlantis by submerging it beneath the waves. This dramatic tale has led to endless speculation about whether Plato based it on real events or simply crafted it as an allegory about the dangers of hubris and imperial overreach.  
    
  Interestingly, Atlantis is not the only story of a lost civilization. Cultures around the world have myths of great lands that disappeared under the ocean. In Hindu mythology, the ancient city of Dwarka was said to have been swallowed by the sea. The biblical tale of the Great Flood and even the legends of Lemuria and Mu suggest a shared human fascination with lost worlds. Some researchers argue that these stories could be echoes of real historical disasters, such as the sudden sinking of landmasses due to earthquakes, tsunamis, or rising sea levels. Could Atlantis be another version of these global flood myths?

  Essay for Ezra An - Racial...

  An Essay for Ezra is a critique of terror that begins but by no means ends with the presidency of Donald J. Trump. A father addresses his son and a boy shares his observations in a dynamic dialogistic exchange that is a commentary of and for its time, taking the measure of racial terror and of white supremacy both in our moment and as a historical phenomenon. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on the social and political thought of James Baldwin and Martin Luther King, Grant Farred examines the temptation and the perils of essentialism and the need to discriminate—to engage the black mind as much as the black body. With that dialectic as his starting point, Farred engages the ideas of Jameson, Barthes, Derrida, Adorno, Kant, and other thinkers to derive an ethics of being in our time of social peril. His antiessentialist racial analysis is salient, especially when he deploys Dave Chappelle as a counterpoint to Baldwin—and Chappelle's brilliant comic philosophic voice jabs at both racial and gender identity. 
   
   
   
  Standing apart for its willingness to explore terror in all its ambivalence, this theoretical reflection on racism, knowledge, ethics, and being in our neofascist present brings to bear the full weight of philosophical inquiry and popular cultural critique on black life in the United States.

  Disclaimer: This is NOT the official book. This is a Summary book & it does NOT accompany the official book. 
  Grove identifies such moments as Strategic Inflection Points, triggered by various factors such as fierce competition, regulatory shifts, or subtle technological changes. When these points occur, conventional business rules no longer apply. However, if managed correctly, these moments of upheaval can serve as springboards to marketplace victory and an opportunity to emerge more robust than ever. 
  Our summary encapsulates Grove's wisdom, highlighting his experiences and how he dealt with significant events, such as the Pentium flaw crisis that threatened Intel's reputation in 1994 and the rapid expansion of the internet. "Only the Paranoid Survive," a lifetime's worth of work, stands as a crucial resource for managerial and leadership skills.
