    The Nazi party's rise to power in Germany during the 1930s is widely attributed to its leaders' strategic use of propaganda, most notably Adolf Hitler. Propaganda played a significant role in shaping public opinion and manipulating the masses to support the Nazi party's extremist ideologies, ultimately leading to one of the most catastrophic events in human history - World War II. This rise to power was not a sudden occurrence but a gradual process involving an extensive and sophisticated propaganda campaign targeting various aspects of German society. In this book, we will explore how propaganda was used to fuel the Nazi party's rise and examine how it gained support from the German people, including through symbols, slogans, and persuasive rhetoric. The consequences of this propaganda-driven rise to power continue to profoundly impact modern-day politics and how we perceive the power of propaganda in shaping public opinion.

    This New Edition of This Is What Inequality Looks Like by Teo You Yenn features a new Afterword by the author, and a Foreword by Kwok Kian Woon, Professor of Sociology at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. 
     
    What is poverty? What is inequality? How are they connected? How are they reproduced? How might they be overcome? Why should we try? 
     
    The way we frame our questions shapes the way we see solutions. This book does what appears to be a no-brainer task, but one that is missing and important: it asks readers to pose questions in different ways, to shift the vantage point from which they view ‘common sense,’ and in so doing, to see themselves as part of problems and potential solutions. This is a book about how seeing poverty entails confronting inequality. It is about how acknowledging poverty and inequality leads to uncomfortable revelations about our society and ourselves. And it is about how once we see, we cannot, must not, unsee.

    World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. Highly relevant today, World War II has much to teach us, not only about the profession of arms, but also about military preparedness, global strategy, and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. This book follows military operations of the US Army in Italy from 22 January to 9 September 1944. 
    Rome was quiet on the morning of 4 June 1944. Propaganda leaflets dropped during the early morning hours by order of the commander of the Allied 15th Army Group, General Sir Harold R. L. G. Alexander, urged Romans "to stand shoulder-to-shoulder to protect the city from destruction and to defeat our common enemies." Even though the retreating Germans had declared Rome an open city, citizens were urged to do everything possible to protect public services, transportation facilities, and communications. "Citizens of Rome," the leaflets declared, "this is not the time for demonstrations. Obey these directions and go on with your regular work. Rome is yours! Your job is to save the city, ours is to destroy the enemy."

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    This book offers a vivid, ground-level narrative of how the Ottoman Empire navigated two turbulent centuries of war, diplomacy, and reinvention. From the Treaty of Zsitvatorok to the French invasion of Egypt, this book follows shifting frontiers in the Balkans, the Caucasus, and the Arab provinces; the rise of provincial notables; the transformation of the Janissaries; the monetized pressures of silver and global trade; the aesthetics and politics of the Tulip Period; and the Empire’s steadily sharpening view of Europe. It explores how Russia and Austria surged, how forts and bridges became social institutions, how markets whispered the first warnings of defeat and recovery, and how knowledge—maps, manuals, and newspapers—turned into instruments of power. Bringing cities, soldiers, scholars, and merchants to life, the book reframes “decline” as an intense school of adaptation that culminated in the shock of 1798 Egypt—an ending that seeded the next Ottoman century of reforms.
