Sinossi

Better to be feared than loved—if you cannot be both.

In The Prince, Renaissance thinker Niccolò Machiavelli lays bare the cold, calculating nature of power. Written in 1513 and banned for centuries, this provocative treatise reveals how rulers gain, maintain, and consolidate power—often by doing whatever is necessary.

From ruthless tactics to pragmatic alliances, Machiavelli's insights are as relevant today as they were in the courtrooms of 16th-century Florence. Whether you're a student of politics, business strategist, or curious reader, The Prince offers a penetrating look at the realities of leadership and the mechanics of control.

This edition includes modern annotations, historical context, and illustrations to enhance understanding of Machiavelli's controversial genius.

"One of the most brilliant—and dangerous—books ever written." — The New York Review of Books
"Machiavelli has never been more relevant than in the modern political arena." — Foreign Affairs

    Political corruption is a pervasive issue that has existed for centuries, shaping the course of governments and societies worldwide. It manifests in various forms, from bribery and fraud to nepotism and abuse of power. Regardless of the system of governance, corruption erodes trust, distorts policies, and undermines democratic principles. While many assume corruption is limited to authoritarian regimes, it is also deeply embedded in democratic institutions, where influence and money often dictate political decisions.  
      
    The roots of corruption can be traced back to the earliest civilizations, where leaders sought personal gain at the expense of their people. Throughout history, political scandals have exposed the extent of corruption within governments, from financial embezzlement to electoral fraud. These cases serve as stark reminders of how unchecked power can lead to widespread deception and exploitation. Corruption is not only a moral failure but a structural issue that allows those in power to manipulate systems designed to serve the public.  
      
    Beyond historical examples, the impact of corruption is far-reaching. It weakens economies by diverting public funds into private hands, leaving essential services such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure underfunded. It fuels inequality, as the wealthy and well-connected benefit from corrupt dealings while the average citizen suffers. When corruption becomes the norm, public trust in institutions erodes, leading to political apathy, civil unrest, and, in extreme cases, the collapse of governments.

    Written by Arthur Quinn 
    Read by Ed Quinn (with an introduction written and read by Julia Whelan) 
    The final book from esteemed Berkeley historian Arthur Quinn, Hell With the Fire Out is both a complex chronicle of a forgotten chapter in American Indian history and a vivid detailing of human foible, folly, and failure. With a novelistic flair, Quinn outlines the sad inevitability of America's westward expansion in its post-Civil War era. Wrangling all the inherent contradictions — Quaker Peace Policy vs Grant and Sherman's War Department; inter- and inner-tribal conflicts; the opposing attitudes of the region's White settlers — Quinn gives us a battle story not merely between nations and governments, but within the hearts of the very individuals at its center. 
    This is the first time an audio version of this book has been available and it is read by none other than the author's son, actor Ed Quinn (Two Broke Girls, One Day at a Time, Tyler Perry's The Oval).

    Saint-Exupéry might have had the Little Prince say that he liked the desert because that is where camels can hide out. Dubai is one of the seven Gulf Emirates and has become a high-tech avantgarde metropolis where superlatives are superfluous. Major wonders of architectural imagination and scale include the National Bank of Dubai, Clock Tower, Creek Side and Dubai Internet City. It also operates the world's largest man-made harbour in Jebel Ali, which features a major water desalination plant. It is the world's third largest trans-shipment hub after Hong Kong and Singapore. Nonetheless, Dubai preserves close ties to the past, based on Bedouin tradition, camel racing, falconry, pearl diving and the world of palm groves. The land thrived before the era of oil derricks and is now preparing to live again after they leave as it invests in higher education that heartily welcomes women. Time-honoured legends of Arab cavalries that swept across the deserts still survive in horse races that display equestrian tradition against a background of exclusive state-of-the-art driving machines: Welcome to this sneak preview of the 21st Century!

    More than an insightful psychologist, Carl Gustav Jung was the twentieth century's greatest articulator of the primacy of mind in nature, a view whose origins vanish behind the mists of time. Underlying Jung's extraordinary body of work, and providing a foundation for it, there is a broad and sophisticated system of metaphysical thought. This system, however, is only implied in Jung's writings, so as to shield his scientific persona from accusations of philosophical speculation. The present book scrutinizes Jung's work to distil and reveal that extraordinary, hidden metaphysical treasure: for Jung, mind and world are one and the same entity; reality is fundamentally experiential, not material; the psyche builds and maintains its body, not the other way around; and the ultimate meaning of our sacrificial lives is to serve God by providing a reflecting mirror to God's own instinctive mentation. Embodied in this compact volume is a journey of discovery through Jungian thoughtscapes never before revealed with the depth, force, and scholarly rigor you are about to encounter.
