People need a degree of free choice for creativity and change to happen. But they must also have boundaries. At one level this is what politics and business are all about. Too much of the wrong sort of control and the system becomes bureaucratic or tyrannical, too little and it becomes arbitrary and chaotic.

A physician-anthropologist explores how public health practices--from epidemiological modeling to outbreak containment--help perpetuate global inequities. In Epidemic Illusions, Eugene Richardson, a physician and an anthropologist, contends that public health practices--from epidemiological modeling and outbreak containment to Big Data and causal inference--play an essential role in perpetuating a range of global inequities. Drawing on postcolonial theory, medical anthropology, and critical science studies, Richardson demonstrates the ways in which the flagship discipline of epidemiology has been shaped by the colonial, racist, and patriarchal system that had its inception in 1492.

When you go to the ballot box hoping to force a change, are you frustrated by the lack of good choices? The answers to these dilemmas as well as viable options demand your attention. Patriotic Illusions shatters twelve common misconceptions regarding racism, military service, warfare, the American dream, and leadership.

Every chapter presents and exposes a unique problem and offers creative solutions which you have likely never considered. Buckle up for a roller coaster ride which will make you both laugh and squirm and will most assuredly change the way you view America. It is a call to action for true Patriots-those with the courage to demand change!

Is leadership a mystery? Do leaders really understand the value, risk, and reality of the leadership brand? Or is leadership an illusion where ignorance is bliss? The purpose of this book is to unveil the mystery of leadership. Leadership is a risky proposition and not as easy as it seems. In naivety, leaders or those aspiring often are misguided by the perception of the pot of gold at the end of the leadership rainbow. With time, they quickly realize that leadership is costly, has consequences for others, and is riddled with challenges. Thus, what leaders don't know them will harm them and others eventually. In The Mystery of Leadership (Unlocking the Code to Value, Risk, and Leadership Illusions), readers will learn: How to find and leverage the leadership voice. The importance of timing and the value of waiting. The cost of being a sage and choosing an authentic leadership brand. The illusion of leadership political capital. How to assemble the right leadership room, set goals, and identify effective leaders for the optimal team. The cost of being a leadership watchman. How to recover from leadership falls and weather leadership storms.

There are widespread literatures and concepts in the Palestinian political, media, scientific and cultural realms that promote visions and perceptions whose implementation seems to be an illusion that has no experimental or systematic scientific reading bases. This book is intended to expose these illusions and their impact in terms of misconceptions, miscalculations, loss of direction, dilemmas in paths and outcomes, failure in decision-making, and waste of time, efforts and capabilities. These illusions were concisely discussed, identifying their main ideas and critiquing their concepts, terms and paths. The aim is to reach the widest possible audience interested in the Palestine issue, with plain and simple language, devoid of prolonged discussions. Although what’s written is based on scientific, methodological and objective foundations, and on documented information, however, since this book is more of an essay-like book, there is no referencing. At the same time, this book includes summaries based on hundreds of studies and books, and on tens of years of research and preoccupation with the Palestine issue.
