"The first duty is to remember."Beirut Veterans of America6:22 on Sunday morning, October 23, 1983. A terrorist truck bomb destroys the Barracks of the U.S. Marine peacekeeping mission in Beirut, killing 241 Marines and gravely wounding many more. Minutes later, the French peacekeeping headquarters is hit, and scores die. At same time, David Klein, an American, the Director of the University Hospital, is kidnapped from the streets of the city by Hezbollah, the militia responsible for the bombings. The Lebanese Civil War has returned in all its fury, bringing chaos to Beirut.In Arabia recounts the events leading to these assaults and follows their consequences through the eyes of six witnesses.Four of the witnesses are Americans: Robert Maisel, an intelligence officer, who is the narrator; Tony Robson, a young Foreign Service Officer on his first posting in Beirut; and Captain Terry Timmons, a warrior who trains Lebanese security forces in the techniques of urban warfare; and Klein, the hostage. Two are Arab women, both physicians. One is Shareen Khairallah, a Lebanese Christian, who returns to Beirut from medical school in Chicago. Her friend and colleague is Hind Khataeb, a Palestinian Muslim, and a surgeon at Makassed Hospital in Jerusalem. Each witness understands and reacts to the acts of terror through the prism of culture, family, and history.The witnesses are driven by duty and bonds of love, and they unite in a common cause to find and rescue Klein, the hostage. Who are the terrorists? What drives them to acts of appalling violence? Difficult questions to answer in a world where tribal identity, religious faith, and the weight of history condition every political act.In the months following the terrorist bombings, Western politicians ordered the Marines and the French peacekeepers to retreat from Lebanon. Government officials lose interest in the fate of the hostage, Klein.But the witnesses are relentless, and their years-long search will lead them to a violent confrontation in a village of antiquity in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley.

Game of Thrones with LightsabersA secret is trivial for one, adequate for two, and fatal for three. There's power in blood. Such is the legacy of House Vega, a Sovereign fiefdom standing on the brink against General Basil Zeren of Taras. There, Jase Vega of Attica declares neutrality in his family's war, in vein and virtue. A militant pacifist, he ventures beyond the neon city to train his clandestine daughter, Seva, how to wield their inherited powers: the roaring tides of Hydrokinesis and the collateral-inducing damage of Super Strength. Far across the Royal Strait, along the secular shores of Siteia, lie devote conjurers and more-an innate power severed from the dynastic kings during the generation-long uprising, yet emerging with grievous consequences and divine authority not seen in centuries. But a more civil disturbance rises to the east, where Shoshana Vega, the General of War, has decreed an ultimatum for her heretic brother: join the destructive conflict or face execution for treason. Now, Basil is charging west to Attica, bringing his daughter, the apostatized but fierce Rome, her daughter, the infamous, immeasurable acolyte Seva, and the indomitable genetic powers of House Zeren-the first an inferno like Dragon's breath, the second a psionic enhancement of hearing. All are colliding in Attica, unaware of a fifteen-year mystery condemning Seva's birthright that will link the two feuding houses in blood forever.Meanwhile, in the City of Sin, Chaya, Czar of House Petra, which has never fought a war on Siren soil, prepares the Sovereign Summit of every nation on Madish-whose misanthropic ideologies will clash over proper course of action: defend their world from global annihilation, together. The Blood of Houses Volume II will be released in 2024. This novel features supernatural abilities, battle sequences, and political intrigue.

"Nie wiem, kiedy nadejdzie ten bunt"Я не знаю, коли прийде це повстання"Nic nie mówi, że nie może to byc za tydzień"Ніщо не говорить про те, що цього не може бути через тиждень"Albo może nadejśc za sto lat"Або це може статися через сто років"Widzę to tak wyraźnie, jak widzę slomę pod moimi stopami"Я бачу це так само ясно, як і солому під ногами"Prędzej czy później sprawiedliwości stanie się zadośc"Рано чи пізно справедливість відбудеться"Skoncentrujcie wzrok na tym celu, towarzysze"Зосередьтеся на цій меті, товариші"Pamiętajcie o tym przez calą krótką resztę waszego życia!"Пам'ятай про це на весь короткий залишок свого життя!"A przede wszystkim nie pozwólcie, aby to moje przeslanie tutaj umarlo"І, перш за все, не дайте цьому моєму посланню згаснути тут"Przekażcie to przeslanie tym, którzy przyjdą po was"Передай це послання тим, хто прийде після тебе"Wtedy przyszle pokolenia będą kontynuowac walkę"Тоді майбутні покоління продовжать боротьбу"Będą walczyc, dopóki nasz rodzaj nie zwycięży"Вони боротимуться доти, доки наш рід не переможе

This book documents a paradigm shift, not only in the sciences but also in society. Everywhere in society systems are becoming networks. This implies not only a new understanding of social science but also of society and ourselves. The book describes the systems model based on Luhmann's theory of social systems and compares this to Latour's actor-network theory. It argues that present day society cannot be successfully modeled as a system and illustrates the transformation to a global network society by citing many examples from business, education, and healthcare. The authors argue that actor-network theory provides a more comprehensive account of these changes than systems theory. Based on actor-network theory, they propose a theory of the "digital transformation" that is ushering in the global network society.Although people in all areas talk about systems, adaptive behavior, evolution, complexity, and networks, few know where these concepts come from, and what they mean in the theories they belong to. This book is for all who are concerned with clarifying the often taken-for-granted assumptions and concepts that are implicitly or explicitly derived from systems theory and network theory. It offers an introduction to the work of Luhmann and Latour and a critical and constructive development of these important theories for the 21stcentury.
