Summary

A concise history of the Roman Empire published in the fourth century, from the creation of Rome through Valens' accession. The book, translated by John Selby Watson, tells the story of Rome's early monarchy and republic till the time of Constantine and his successors to the death of Jovian (364 AD). Flavius Eutropius was a Roman historian who lived during the second part of the fourth century. He served as the city's secretary (magister memoriae), traveled with Emperor Julian (361-363) on his operations against Persia, and continued to live until the reign of Valens (364–378), to whom he dedicated the Breviarium historiae Romanae (the Breviarium of Roman History), which is also the point at which the history of that work comes to an end.

    When most people hear the word "witch," they immediately think of crones conspiring over a cauldron, a force of dark and vindictive power. But to hundreds of thousands across the world, being a witch is a living, everyday reality, much more varied than the fairytale image. 
     
    Witch Power follows Emma Quilty—herself a witch and an anthropologist—on an immersive journey into contemporary witchcraft, from Witchcamp retreats to "red tent" menstrual events, Voodoo priestesses running ghost tours from their vans to TikTokers casting hexes on a viral scale. 
     
    Attentive to the history of witchcraft, she reveals the role power plays in how the figure of the witch has changed over time to suit the ever-present need to control and demonize women. Because to be a witch is to live in defiance of society's expectations and rules. 
     
    But while the witch is always castigated as a threat, Quilty finds that the witch is never alone: the witch is a survivor and a symbol of resistance. Ultimately, Witch Power is a provocation and an invitation to listeners to experience with the author what it means to embrace witchiness and what witchy feminism could bring to your life.

    • Q: How shall we approach the idea of study? 
    • If you express from something already accumulated it is a deadly bore, but if 
    you are all the time watching, not only yourself but the world, you are learning. 
    • Q: You say that a mantra is an escape. Do you think that people use drugs as an escape or because they want to become closer?

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Understand why humans consistently obey authority, conform to groups, and participate in collective actions they would individually reject as wrong. This disturbing audiobook examines the psychological research on obedience from Milgram experiments to Stanford Prison studies, revealing uncomfortable truths about human nature that remain relevant today. Learn why ordinary people become capable of extraordinary cruelty when authority commands or group pressure permits, and why you are not as immune as you believe. The narrator explores the evolutionary origins of obedience tendencies, the social conditions that activate conformity, and the surprisingly small steps that lead from compliance to complicity. Discover how totalitarian regimes exploit obedience psychology and why democratic societies remain vulnerable to authoritarian manipulation through identical mechanisms. Understand the situational factors that predict obedience versus resistance and what distinguishes the rare individuals who maintain independence under pressure. This audiobook challenges comforting beliefs that modern education and awareness protect against mass manipulation while presenting evidence that obedience tendencies remain fully operational. Learn practical strategies for strengthening resistance to illegitimate authority and recognizing when you are being manipulated toward conformity. Essential listening for citizens concerned about authoritarianism, professionals in positions of authority, and anyone seeking honest understanding of how mass compliance with harmful directives actually occurs.
