  We have to stop treating a pneumonia patient with cough syrup! The majority of leadership books focus on treating the symptoms of poor leadership and not the disease itself. In leadership the symptoms may be low employee engagement, bad communication, lack of trust, and micromanagement, but the underlying disease relates to CHARACTER. 
  Our data proves that people want to follow character. 
  Ask yourself, "Would you follow you?"  
  Unlike other books, Becoming a Leader of Character simply and boldly tells us HOW to develop our character instead of just telling us we need to have it. Developing character is not complicated, but it is hard. Growing always requires a little sweat! 
  "You have to DO what you want to BE!" 
  If you want something more than theories, and you want to BE the Leader of Character your business, your family, and your country desperately need, read Becoming a Leader of Character and start doing what Leaders of Character DO. 
  This book lays out a plan for you to become that leader you would want to follow - a Leader of Character.

  A concise, star-studded retelling of Italy's past, from Caesar and Augustus to da Vinci and Michelangelo, tracing the story of a country with prodigious global influence—from a foremost author of historic Italy. 
   
   
   
  The calendar. The Senate. The university. The piano, the heliocentric model, and the pizzeria. It's hard to imagine a world without Italian influence—and easy to assume that inventions like these could only come from a strong, stable peninsula, sure of its place in the world. In this breakneck history, bestselling author Ross King dismantles this assumption, uncovering the story of a land rife with inner uncertainty even as its influence spread. 
   
   
   
  As the Italian tale unfolds, prosperity and power fluctuate like the elevation in the Dolomites. If Rome's seven hills could talk, they might speak of the glorious time of Trajan—or bemoan the era of conquest and the Bubonic Plague that decimated Rome's population. Episodes of wealth like the First Triumvirate and the time of the Medicis are given fresh life alongside descriptions the Middle Ages, the early days of Venice, the invasion of Napoleon, and the long struggle for unification. King paints a colorful, fascinating portrait of a country that remains compelling not just to tens of millions of Italian Americans, but to the millions of Americans who visit Italy every year.

  In Police Deception and Dishonesty, Luke William Hunt—a philosophy professor and former FBI special agent—argues that many of our assumptions about policing and security are unjustified. Through a rich discussion of literature and case studies, he shows that there are compelling reasons to think that the police's widespread use of proactive deception and dishonesty is inconsistent with fundamental norms of political morality—especially norms regarding fraud and the rule of law. Although there are times and places for dishonesty and deception in policing, Hunt evocatively illustrates why those times and places should be much more limited than current practices suggest.
