The Arab Manager! The Call!


Book Description

About The Book! This is a book re-do of my previous book - Original Book - A Cry For Help! It was suggested to me by an American CEO friend of mine who had read all my books - including the Arab Management ones! He commented that though this particular book was very important - it did not take off well in reading and reception like the Psychology book which had won The USA Gold Seal Literary Excellence for 2013 (Eric Hoffer)! The reasons were plain people misjudging the book by a cover of a Crying Lady who was not even Arab - and the first chapter being dominated as being traumatized at the time of the death of my Mother! With changes in removing some of those chapters (and images!) of The Arab Office Environment showing radicalization, extremism and fundamentalism of The Society as most of the events are now past in references with the current status in The Middle East Post The Arab Spring Uprisings! Though the original book had acted as an Omen and Predictor of events that came to realization post the book publication in 2009. It was my earnest prayer and wish that people - especially in The Leadership - to have read this book! Anyway, I am not the person that likes to say - again and again - I told you so! I have decided also not to add many images than necessary to expedite the book coming out together with the new book - Arab Management: Reality or Myth? The Arab Manager! www.createspace.com/4960056 and previous book - Psychology of Arab Management Thinking! - www.trafford.com/08-0889 This book, therefore, will be the 4th book in Arab Management Series and my 18th book to date - 3 books are also in Road Safety - and the rest assorted from my Columns and Writings. 2 of the books are about Reviews and Accolades received on all my books to date! My Columns, Writings etc. are here at www.majidwrite.com and www.majidall.com Also, another important and pertinent remark to make here is that this book was being published at the time of death of my late Mother PBUH and was so emotionalized and traumatized to make her article - I wrote for her - titled Goodbye; Our Mama! In Memoriam! Thus Readers may have felt the book was more 'of a novel' rather than serious stuff in Arab Management lapses, shortcomings etc. For the same reason few images will be added to this book also. I hope those who had misread the original Book Cover of a Crying Lady! And the aforementioned will now read this book having clarified and in transparency all the aforementioned. Suffice also to say that despite 6 years later things at the work front - its surroundings and atmosphere has just gone more bad and stale - on the verge of the precipice, decadence, malaise and associated - just like that cinder fire burning intensely underground before it erupts. For this status quo - and how it may have even gone worse - I recommend that you read this book with my new Arab Book as aforementioned. I hope you will enjoy reading the book! Have tried to be as frank, forthright, sincere, truthful and genuine as I can be!

Psychology of Arab Management Thinking


Book Description

A.02 - About The Book - Psychology of Arab Management Thinking M For a long time now, I have been putting off the idea of writing this book - though it had been on my mind for a long time now. The mere idea of writing this book scared me to bits and pieces - for many valid and pertinent reasons. As Arabs, work is worshipped (Islamic Religion calls on us to respect work like as if it is in praying). We are also brought up to be polite, courteous and decent (at least a majority of us). Abrupt, ugly, rudeness and distort are discouraged. Also it is not easy to say NO - as part of the culture, customs, traditions and heritage. So what went wrong here - especially in Management circles? Why are we behind the rest of the world, despite all our riches and resources? I hope you will enjoy the book. I have tried to be as frank, open, forthright, honest, sincere and genuine as I can - as Readers who know me can give credence and credibility to me and will vouch and authenticate my works. It is a no punch-spared, no barrels held stiff, no frills - play but to be as frank, open and honest as possible - so it can be a learning process for this generation and others to come in the future. I have not spared myself, so there is just for it to be honest, sincere, genuine and hard hitting - sparing no one. Just No One.

"This Is Jerusalem Calling"


Book Description

Modeled after the BBC, the Palestine Broadcasting Service was launched in 1936 to serve as the national radio station of Mandate Palestine, playing a pivotal role in shaping the culture of the emerging middle class in the region. Despite its significance, the PBS has become nearly forgotten by scholars of twentieth-century Middle Eastern studies. Drawn extensively from British and Israeli archival sources, “This Is Jerusalem Calling” traces the compelling history of the PBS’s twelve years of operation, illuminating crucial aspects of a period when Jewish and Arab national movements simultaneously took form. Andrea L. Stanton describes the ways in which the mandate government used broadcasting to cater to varied audiences, including rural Arab listeners, in an attempt to promote a “modern” vision of Arab Palestine as an urbane, politically sophisticated region. In addition to programming designed for the education of the peasantry, religious broadcasting was created to appeal to all three main faith communities in Palestine, which ultimately may have had a disintegrating, separatist effect. Stanton’s research brings to light the manifestation of Britain’s attempts to prepare its mandate state for self-governance while supporting the aims of Zionists. While the PBS did not create the conflict between Arab Palestinians and Zionists, the service reflected, articulated, and magnified such tensions during an era when radio broadcasting was becoming a key communication tool for emerging national identities around the globe.




Jesus Boy


Book Description

“A consummate tragicomedy of African American family secrets and sorrows, and of faith under duress . . . a shout-hallelujah tale of transgression and grace.” —Booklist Sixteen-year-old Elwyn Parker is a member of the austere community of Christian believers at the Church of Our Blessed Redeemer Who Walked Upon the Waters, a devout and sincere piano prodigy who learns too late that the saintly girl he has had a crush on all his life is inexplicably pregnant and soon to be wed. Then the beautiful forty-two-year-old widow, Sister Morrisohn, in the midst of the confused emotions of her grieving, ends up in Elwyn's arms. Despite the problems posed by their age difference and the strict prohibitions of their strong religious beliefs, Elwyn and Sister Morrisohn's love is true, and as it grows among the ascetics, abstainers, and holy ghost rollers of their church, it exposes with wit, poignancy, and insight the dark secrets and ancient crimes of the pious. In Jesus Boy, “by turns solemn and funny” (The New York Times), Elwyn learns through tragedy and epiphany that the holy are no different from the rest of us. “Heartfelt and occasionally hilarious, Jesus Boy is a tender masterpiece.” —Dennis Lehane, New York Times–bestselling author of Mystic River and Since We Fell
