  From the international bestselling author and notable journalist Aldo Cazzullo comes a brilliantly researched and extremely accessible journey through the history and legacy of the Roman Empire. 
  “The only way to narrate over a thousand years of history is to understand what it has left us. To tell the reasons, the things and the stories, thanks to which Roman civilization is alive”. 
  From its mythical foundations and epic construction to its enduring historical and cultural impact, the ancient Roman Empire has long fascinated readers across the world. In The Neverending Empire esteemed Italian journalist Aldo Cazzullo describes an exciting new historical perspective: that the Roman Empire never fell. In fact, its influence reaches further and deeper than ever. 
  Beginning with the origins of Rome, and the literary myth of Aeneas and Romulus, Cazzullo takes the reader on a page-turning voyage through ancient history, bringing to life the most captivating moments and characters of a dominant Empire: the republican age, with heroic men and women willing to die for their country. The adventure of coup plotters like Catiline and revolutionaries like Spartacus, the slave who inspired rebels of every age. The extraordinary stories of Julius Caesar and Octavian Augustus, two of the greatest leaders to have lived. 
  Cazzullo goes on to draw fascinating parallels between the ancient and modern world, revealing how Rome lives on, across every facet of life and society. The ancient Romans have inspired poets, and artists, from Dante to Hollywood. They have dictated the rules of war, architecture, language and law. They have inspired America’s democratic influence and the digital revolution led by Mark Zuckerberg, a great admirer of Emperor Augustus: the first man to lead a multi-ethnic community of people who didn’t know each other but shared language, images and culture. 
  From the Napoleonic to the British regimes, the ideas and philosophies of ancient Rome have been much imitated, but never surpassed. This is the remarkable story of an enduring Empire. An Empire that never died. An Empire that lives on, forever. 
  A work of non-fiction historiography rooted in Italy and Europe, it shows how the Western world still speaks Rome’s language in politics, culture, and power. Cazzullo’s sweeping account makes the case that the empire’s afterlife is not a metaphor but a living inheritance, written into the story of Europe itself.

  Charles Derber shows how the United States is moving toward sociocide—the erosion of durable, positive social relations in the economy, family, politics, and civil society essential to sustaining society itself—while offering pragmatic solutions. 
   
  Bonfire: American Sociocide, Broken Relations, and the Quest for Democracy examines how new technologies and financial strategies are part of broader economic, environment, cultural, and political shifts that create tipping points generating more competition, distrust, isolation, and violence. In doing so, Derber spells out the implications for democracy and social cohesion. Importantly, he explores options that could stop the spiral and reconstruct a sustainable and equitable community, civil society, and democracy via emerging movements against neoliberalism capitalism, climate change, war—and in favor of labor solidarity, human rights, and community. 
   
  This book will be of interest to students, scholars and activists with an interest in political sociology, political economy, and social movements in the United States.

  Have you ever reacted to something and immediately wished you had handled it differently? 
   
  Maybe you said something in anger. 
  Shut down during conflict. 
  Overthought a situation until it felt worse than it actually was. 
   
  Emotional reactions often happen faster than logic. In moments of pressure, criticism, or stress, your brain is wired to protect you — even if that protection leads to impulsive decisions you later regret. 
   
  Emotional Regulation is a practical, easy-to-follow guide designed to help you understand why you react the way you do — and how to take back control in everyday situations. 
   
  In this audiobook, you’ll learn how to: 
   
  1. Recognize emotional triggers before they take over 
   
  2. Create space between impulse and response 
   
  3. Stay calm during conflict and criticism 
   
  4. Manage anxiety in real-time 
   
  5. Control anger without suppressing it 
   
  Build long-term emotional resilience through daily habits 
   
  This is not about suppressing emotions or becoming passive. It’s about responding with clarity instead of reacting out of urgency. 
   
  Whether you're dealing with relationship stress, workplace pressure, or everyday frustrations, these techniques are designed to help you remain steady when emotions run high.

  A sixth-generation funeral director and writer of the popular ""must read"" (Time magazine) blog Confessions of a Funeral Director reflects on mortality and the powerful lessons death holds for every one of us in this compassionate and thoughtful spiritual memoir that combines the humor and insight of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes with the poignancy and brevity of When Breath Becomes Air. 
  Death. It happens to everyone, yet most of us don’t want to talk about this final chapter of existence. Sixth-generation funeral director Caleb Wilde intimately understands this reticence and fear. The son of an undertaker, he hesitated to embrace the legacy of running his family’s business. Yet he discovered that caring for the deceased and their loved ones profoundly changed his faith and his perspective on death—and life itself. ""Yes, death can be bad. Yes, death can be negative,"" he acknowledges, ""but it can also be beautiful. And that alternate narrative needs to be discussed."" 
  In Confessions of a Funeral Director, he talks about his experiences and pushes back against the death-negative ethos of our culture, opening a thoughtful, poignant conversation to help us see the end of life in a positive and liberating way. In the wry, compassionate, and honest voice that has charmed his growing legions of blog readers, Wilde offers an intimate look inside his business, offering information on unspoken practices around death such as the embalming process, beautiful and memorable stories about families in the wake of death, and, most importantly, a fresh and wise perspective on how embracing death can allow us to embrace life. 
  Confessions of a Funeral Director is the story of one man learning how death illuminates and deepens the meaning of existence—insights that can help us all pursue and cherish full, rich lives.
