The Sublime Object of Orientalism proposes that globalised Asian physical cultural practices such as taiji, qigong, yoga, and meditation can be understood by examining the intimate connection between Western orientalism and the Romantic aesthetic notion of the sublime. The book recasts ‘orientalist physical culture’ as practices animated by the sublime and argues that this relationship is stronger than has hitherto been recognised by commentators.Bowman combines new readings of philosophers and cultural critics such as Slavoj Žižek and Jane Iwamura with analyses of film, media, and Asian physical practices and their entrepreneurial forms to shed light on the quest to articulate a philosophy of orientalist physical culture. He also explores ways to make sense of orientalist physical culture in the contemporary world and evaluate the often-problematic ideologies that circulate around these cultural practices without either uncritically accepting their value or rejecting them outright.

Contractor safety management represents one of the most critical yet overlooked challenges facing organizations today. When accidents occur involving contractors and subcontractors, the spotlight increasingly falls on client organizations who face mounting reputational, legal, and financial consequences. Contractor Safety Management: From Compliance to Culture examines how responsibility for safety is shared across complex contractor relationships, which moves beyond the traditional approach of treating safety as a compliance checkbox exercise.Drawing on 17 major case studies from around the world, including the Grenfell Tower fire, the Florida International University pedestrian bridge collapse, and various global energy projects, this book reveals how cultural differences, procurement practices, and leadership decisions directly impact safety outcomes. Written in an engaging, narrative-driven style, it combines real-world lessons with practical frameworks and original methodologies t

By the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Inner Excellence, this book offers a transformational blueprint for building the life you long for. Each one of us has a deep need for meaningful relationships, where love is unconditional and fully reliable, and where we can rest secure, with the deepest contentment, no matter what the circumstances around us. In the busyness, the stresses, and the comparisons we face each day, it's easy to lose sight of what's possible, of the life we were created for: a life lived with a love you can feel in your heart that enlivens every experience - everything you think, feel, and do. It's a life marked by courage, facing your fears, and living out your longing for depth, for meaning, and for fullness of life. Each of us has a deep need for something that this world cannot fulfill, and we spend most of our lives searching for it. Drawing on over 2,000 years of wisdom along with hard-won lessons from his own journey, bestselling author and performan

In 2017, a small crew gathered in a windowless Pentagon room to put AI at the heart of how America makes war. Led by a Marine Corps colonel haunted by the deaths of US troops and prospect of AI-enhanced rivals, the Project Maven team raced to send AI into combat, igniting controversy and forever changing the US military. Summoning the mayhem of a tech startup, the group wrestled Pentagon bureaucrats and each other, enlisted an initially reluctant Silicon Valley, and convinced US forces to deploy little-tested AI systems in hot wars. Maven fielded algorithms to identify targets at speed and scale, developed AI-infused command systems, and learned where AI fails. Today, its lessons are folded into developing autonomous technology set to be on the frontlines of future war. Based on more than 200 interviews with Project Maven insiders and opponents, this captivating narrative explains how AI warfare, once the stuff of apocalyptic science fiction, has become a reality.
