Sinossi

Tsar Executions explores the history of regicide in Russia, from Ivan the Terrible's purges to the Romanov dynasty's tragic end, illuminating the political upheavals that followed. It examines how autocratic power and revolutionary fervor intertwined to define Russia's past. The book highlights that executions of Russian rulers weren't isolated events but symptoms of systemic failures and a volatile relationship between the Tsar and the people. For example, the assassination of Alexander II, driven by revolutionary movements, significantly altered Russia's trajectory.

 
The book progresses chronologically and thematically, starting with the evolution of Russian autocracy and delving into key periods like the Time of Troubles and Peter the Great's reforms. It investigates the circumstances, motivations, and consequences of each execution. This book is unique in its psychological exploration of both rulers who ordered executions and those who carried them out, providing a nuanced understanding of power, fear, and violence.

 
By understanding these historical executions, readers can gain insights into the fragility of power and the consequences of unchecked authority.

Lay It On The Line - A Backstage...

Rik Emmett

From Triumph superstar Rik Emmett comes the thrilling, inspiring story of a life of rock and roll
		 
While describing the impulse driving his life and work, Rik Emmett explains, “I was never in it for the sex and drugs — ah, but the rock and roll. Creativity was, and still is, my it — the truth I bet my life on. It was also, always, about play. The play’s the thing …”
		 
Merging memoir, anecdotes, and masterclasses on guitar, songwriting, and the artist’s mindset, Lay It On The Line offers insight and perspective into the many roles Rik Emmett took on. “It” was always a parboiling, psychological gumbo: and this book attempts to finally share the recipe.
		 
It also includes photos from Emmett’s own archives, plus the definitive, detailed reasons behind why he walked from Triumph — and came back two decades later.
		 
Rock star, it seems, was a character for Rik Emmett to inhabit … a great gig, a catalytic door-opener … it was a role that led to other adventures — and these are the stories he’s chosen to tell.

Death of the Senate - My Front...

Ben Nelson

Something is rotten in the U.S. Senate, and the disease has been spreading for some time. But Ben Nelson, former U.S. senator from Nebraska, is not going to let the institution destroy itself without a fight. Death of the Senate is a clear-eyed look inside the Senate chamber and a brutally honest account of the current political reality. 
In his two terms as a Democratic senator from the red state of Nebraska, Nelson positioned himself as a moderate broker between his more liberal and conservative colleagues and became a frontline player in the most consequential fights of the Bush and Obama years. His trusted centrist position gave him a unique perch from which to participate in some of the last great rounds of bipartisan cooperation, such as the “Gang of 14” that considered nominees for the federal bench—and passed over a young lawyer named Brett Kavanaugh for being too partisan. 
Nelson learned early on that the key to any negotiation at any level is genuine trust. With humor, insight, and firsthand details, Nelson makes the case that the “heart of the deal” is critical and describes how he focused on this during his time in the Senate. As seen through the eyes of a centrist senator from the Great Plains, Nelson shows how and why the spirit of bipartisanship declined and offers solutions that can restore the Senate to one of the world’s most important legislative bodies.

Here they are, two decades later, revealing the events that changed him forever. Step back in time and share the surprise he felt each time God released divine love within beautiful people.

On Locations - Lessons Learned...

Mark Kamine, Mike White

This must-listen account of starting at the lowest rung on the production ladder among enormously famous and outrageously demanding people will be devoured for its insights, gossip, humor, and storytelling. Married and with a child, the author takes unpaid gigs to get a foot in the door and eventually ends up working on all seasons of The Sopranos, often named the best TV show ever. 
 
 
 
The show's setting and its creator's insistence on accuracy placed the native New Jersey author in the right place at the right time to become part of television history. 
 
 
 
Includes many stories about guest stars like Steve Buscemi, Peter Bogdanovich, and Lauren Bacall, as well as the beloved cast, including new tales of James Gandolfini, who Kamine first meets after David Chase casts him as the Dean of Admissions in the classic first season "College" episode. 
 
 
 
Woven in is a personal story of home life and strife, achievement and frustration, anxiety and accomplishment. The book's epilogue brings listeners up to the moment as the author, after many more years as an anonymous everyman, eventually enjoys outsize professional success as executive producer of the HBO hit series created by Mike White, The White Lotus.
