Synopsis

KGB Influence explores the pervasive impact of the KGB, the Soviet Union's state security agency, on Soviet society and global politics during the Cold War. The book investigates how the KGB acted as the linchpin of Soviet state security, extending its reach into every facet of Soviet life and beyond. It examines the KGB's complex structure, its intelligence-gathering techniques, and its systematic suppression of political dissent. One intriguing fact is the KGB's involvement in shaping public opinion and manipulating political events to destabilize perceived enemies. The book emphasizes the agency's blend of overt and covert operations.

 
The book's value lies in its comprehensive analysis of the KGB's operational methods, combining historical context with detailed case studies of espionage, counterintelligence, and disinformation campaigns. Readers will gain insights into the ideological underpinnings of the agency, its organizational structure, and the methods employed to maintain control within the Soviet Union and project power abroad.

 
The book progresses from the KGB's origins and structure to its intelligence operations and, finally, to its role in domestic political suppression.

    You keep having the same argument. Making the same choice. Reacting the same way, even when you know better. You've read the books. Maybe you've been to therapy. But the patterns keep showing up: at work, in relationships, in the quiet moments when something small sets off something big. 
    There's a reason for that, and it has a name. 
    Reenactments are the brain-body-behavior patterns you developed in response to past experiences, both traumatic and ordinary. They run on autopilot. They shape how you interpret a comment from your partner, a decision at work, or a conflict you can't seem to walk away from. And until you can see them clearly, they keep you stuck. 
    Clinical psychologists Dr. Tony Iezzi and Dr. Melanie P. Duckworth spent 35 years treating patients with complex trauma, chronic pain, and stress-related conditions in hospital and university settings. They watched the same thing happen again and again: people kept repeating patterns they couldn't explain, even after successful treatment. That observation became the foundation of a new clinical framework, one they refined with real patients before writing this book. 
    In this book, you will: 
    Identify the specific reenactment themes (abandonment, control, shame, betrayal, and dozens more) driving your reactions 
    Use the Reenactment Decision Matrix to evaluate your choices in real time: approach, avoid, act, or pause 
    Work through a five-step process to break a reenactment pattern the next time it shows up 
    Build a personal plan for lasting change that goes beyond insight and into action 
    This is not another book that tells you to "just be more mindful." It gives you a concrete, step-by-step system grounded in clinical evidence and tested with real people in real crisis. The case examples are drawn from three decades of frontline work, not hypotheticals. 
    Reenactments is for anyone who is tired of knowing what's wrong but not knowing how to do something different. Get unstuck. Do different, be different.

    From the fog-shrouded streets of 1870s Philadelphia to the stormy depths of the Magellan Straits, history is littered with ghosts—people who simply stepped off the face of the earth. 
    In Mysteries of the Missing, author and narrator Edward Richardson painstakingly exhumes the most baffling vanishings of the 19th century. Through meticulously researched historical records, heart-wrenching ransom notes, and the wild public frenzy that followed, Richardson rebuilds the agonizing uncertainty that surrounded these legendary cases. 
    Discover the tragic truth behind the iconic abduction of little Charlie Ross, the very case that birthed the phrase "don't take candy from strangers." Trace the final, doomed sea voyage of Theodosia Burr, the brilliant and devoted daughter of Aaron Burr, whose tragic disappearance spawned decades of pirate legends and deathbed confessions. Unravel the political intrigue that led Archduke Johann Salvator of Austria to renounce his royal titles, take the name John Orth, and vanish forever into the tempests of Cape Horn. 
    Mysteries of the Missing is more than a historical recount—it is an exploration of the agonizing human curiosity that cannot let the lost remain lost. Perfect for true crime enthusiasts, history buffs, and anyone mesmerized by unsolved enigmas, this book proves that no mystery is sweeter, or more agonizing, than a person who leaves no trace behind.

    PERCEPTIONS consists of short pieces, poetry or poem-like essays, written over a period of thirty years, on various serious and reflective topics, but with some humorous and occasional work too. As in Gillian Bickley's previous collections, the subjects occur internationally: this time, in the Pyrenees, Nigeria, Hawai'i, Albania, as well as Hong Kong. Taken as a whole, this fifth poetry collection recognizes the need for shelter and survival, the desire for love, for achievement, for feelings of self-worth, for objects on which to bestow reciprocal affection and the search for high-order achievements beyond the self. Reaching beyond this, Perceptions considers the needs of other species, our responsibilities towards them and the fragile environment that we all share. 
    "The poignance of her many perceptions crowds upon us." -- Stuart Christie 
    "This collection addresses universal topics in a thoughtful manner using common sense that most readers can appreciate. – Cairns Media Magazine

    Arches across the Roman Empire:...

    Some of the most iconic symbols of the Roman Empire that have survived into the modern world today are the arches that Romans erected to commemorate military victories and glorify individual emperors. The story of how arches came to be used throughout the Roman world in such a way is one that involves the evolution of the military and its leaders into the political forces that came to dominate the state, and those arches, along with the triumphs that came to be associated with many of them, were key parts in the process of exhibiting the might of both Rome. At the same time, they were meant to mark the individual achievements of Rome’s rulers, making them an enormous and expensive PR exercise that steadily grew over the years. 
    Of course, Roman arches have intrigued historians for years. Franz Botho Graef, a German classical archaeologist and art historian, a prominent expert in the area, devoted his life to the identification and cataloguing of Roman arches. He documented 125 extant arches, and 30 further examples discerned from the literature or other sources, scattered throughout Rome and its provinces. Graef’s listing is usually taken as the starting point for subsequent researchers, but another eminent historian in the field, A. Frothingham, has disputed Graef´s listings, arguing that only 115 of the 125 identified arches actually existed. He also claimed to have identified 280 further “monuments and arches,” the majority of which were located within Asia Minor, North Africa, and Syria. However, this methodological approach introduced a new category – monuments - into the cataloguing process, which has only served to complicate the debate.
