    Apologise… Hell, No! The Power of an Apology in an Entitled World is a visceral read that explores the ups and down of the apology in a world that's forgetting how to say sorry and mean it. Combining personal memoir, along with some practical advice this book is rich in its openness and evocative enough to challenge, assist and uplift you as it takes both a light-hearted and serious look at the different uses of the apology spanning stoic philosophers, Stick Man, #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, narcissism, entitlement, slavery and WW1 to name but a few. 
    "A deeply personal yet systematic approach to the delicate art of apologizing." — Kirkus Reviews 
     "Unflinching honesty that has translated into something rich and evocative." — Sara Starbuck

    The story of a young, Black Communist Party organizer wrongly convicted of attempting to incite insurrection and the landmark case that made him a civil rights hero. 
     
     
     
    Decades before the impeachment of an American president for a similar offense, Angelo Herndon was charged under Georgia law with "attempting to incite insurrection"—a crime punishable by death. In 1932, the eighteen-year-old Black Communist Party organizer was arrested and had his room illegally searched and his radical literature seized. Charged under an old slave insurrection statute, Herndon was convicted by an all-white jury and sentenced to eighteen to twenty years on a chain gang. 
     
     
     
    A legal odyssey of Herndon's narrow escape from certain death because of his unpopular political beliefs, You Can't Kill a Man Because of the Books He Reads explores Herndon's journey from Alabama coal miner to Communist Party organizer to Harlem hero and beyond. Brad Snyder tells the stories of the diverse coalition of people who rallied to his cause and who twice appealed his case to the US Supreme Court. They forced the Court to recognize free speech and peaceable assembly as essential rights in a democracy—a landmark decision in 1930s America as well as today.

    Agrippa I: Loyal Roman or Planning a Rebellion? — A Forensic and Political Investigation of Agrippa I: Loyal Roman, Rebel King, or Something in Between 
    This presents the complete script of the author's thesis defence, originally delivered at the conclusion of Master's degree in Classical Archaeology at the University of Pisa. The thesis was awarded the distinction of cum laude and reflects an interdisciplinary exploration of historical, political, archaeological, and medical perspectives. 
    Based on the author's original 750-page dissertation, this defence examines the complex figure of Agrippa I—grandson of Herod the Great and client king of Judea under Roman rule. Was Agrippa a loyal Roman statesman, a potential rebel, or a cunning political survivor? 
    Using a critical approach to ancient literary sources, archaeological evidence, and modern historiography, the work explores:The material and political landscape of Agrippa's reignHis diplomatic positioning between Roman and Judean authoritiesThe recorded symptoms and political consequences of his sudden deathThe forensic plausibility of poisoning as a causeCompeting narratives of loyalty, betrayal, and legacy in the first century CE 
    Both accessible and intellectually grounded, the content is ideal for readers interested in Roman history, ancient politics, and the enduring questions of allegiance and power in antiquity.
