Sinopsis

Propaganda in Media examines how political messaging, wartime propaganda, and public relations shape public opinion. It explores how governments and organizations use persuasive communication to influence our perceptions, highlighting that propaganda isn't just about falsehoods; it's a sophisticated system designed to cultivate specific beliefs. For example, the book might expose how subtle cues in political campaigns or public relations influence policy decisions. Understanding these tactics is crucial for an informed citizenry.

 
The book traces the evolution of propaganda from the early 20th century to the digital age, explaining basic concepts in rhetoric, media studies, and political science. Structured in three parts, it introduces propaganda's forms and psychological underpinnings, examines case studies, and focuses on media literacy.

 
By providing tools for critical media consumption, it empowers readers to identify and resist manipulative messaging.

Uncommon Valor on Iwo Jima - The...

James H Hallas

The epic Battle of Iwo Jima is recounted through the stories of twenty-eight American soldiers who showed uncommon valor during one of WWII’s most bitter conflicts. When the smoke cleared on Iwo Jima in March of 1945, nineteen-thousand American Marines had been wounded and seven-thousand were dead, a casualty rate of nearly thirty-nine percent. Lasting over a month, Iwo was the Marines’ bloodiest battle of the Second World War and the only Pacific battle in which a U.S. landing force suffered more casualties than it inflicted. It was also the most highly decorated single engagement in Marine Corps history.  This volume captures the bravery of those who fought in that epic battle through the stories of twenty-two Marines and five Navy personnel who received the Medal of Honor in recognition of their gallantry under fire.

My Secret Life Vol 4 Chapter 11

Dominic Crawford Collins

My Secret Life, the anonymously written erotic memoirs of a Victorian English gentleman who refers to himself simply as 'Walter' is one of the most idiosyncratic and sexually obsessed books ever written. In this vast autobiographical confessional the author recounts, in meticulous detail, his sexual exploits throughout the course of a life devoted entirely to the pursuit of carnal pleasure. Through this compelling exploration of the author's sexual behaviour we are left with a uniquely entertaining insight into life behind the closed doors of Victorian society. My Secret Life is evocative, provocative, sorrowful, suspenseful, obscene, exciting and highly erotic...in it we are privy to the thoughts, emotions and memories of one of the most unusual, unsung and colourful English eccentrics of the Victorian era.

Now, for the first time, the complete unabridged version of this unique text is being narrated and scored by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins as an 'audiofilm' (an audio book in which the emotional landscape is explored through the music score). Each chapter of My Secret Life will be released at monthly intervals over the next ten or so years culminating in what is likely to become the longest audio book ever to be produced.

Theogony The Primeval...

Thomas Tomazo Pagonis

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Mythology – An Odyssey in the Ocean of Allegories 
Book One: The Primeval Constructions 
Before the gods of Olympus reigned, there was Chaos, Gaia, and the whispered birth of the Cosmos—guided above all by Eros, the god of creation. 
In this lyrical and philosophical journey through Greek mythology, Tomazo Pagonis reimagines the earliest myths as deep allegories of human consciousness and spiritual awakening. 
Listeners are led by an imaginary Traveller of Myths, who insists he has truly wandered through the mythological realms. With his voice, we explore the origins of the world, the rebellion of the Titans, and the enduring force of Eros—not as ancient tales, but as timeless symbols that still speak to the soul. 
A captivating experience for lovers of myth, philosophy, and storytelling beyond time.

Russian Short Story The - Volume...

Nikolai Gogol, Ivan Turgenev,...

The Russian novel has a reputation that is immense, both in narrative and in length.  Unquestionably though the ideas, themes and characters make many novels rightly revered as world class, as icons of literature. 
 
Perhaps an easier way to enjoy a wider selection of the Russian heritage, with its varied and glorious literary talents, is with the short story.  These gems sparkle and beguile the mind with their characters and narrative, exploring facets of society and the human condition that more Western authors somehow find more difficult to navigate, or to explore, explain and relate to.   
 
The Russian short story is, in many respects, in a genre of its own.  It is at its captivating best whether it’s an exploration of real-life experiences, through fantasy and fables and on to total absurdity. 
 
In a land so vast it is unsurprising that it is a world almost unto itself. Cultures and landscapes of differing hues are packed together bound only by the wilful bonds and force of Empire. 
 
The stories in this collection traverse the decades where one might be a serf under an absolute monarch, and the reality of that was pretty near to slavery, into an emancipation of sorts in the fields, or towns under the despotic will of landowners and the rich into the upheavals of Empire and then the overthrow of the ruling class and its replacement by the communists, who promised equality for all and delivered a society where the down-trodden remained the lowest yet vital cog of the state machine and its will.  
 
Whilst Tolstoy, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Pushkin and Chekhov are a given in any Russian collection we also explore and include Andreyev, Korolenko, Turgenev, Blavatsky and many others to create a world rich and dense across a sprawling landscape of diverse people, riddled with the class and unfairness in perhaps some of the most turbulent times that Russia has ever experienced.
