  How do you defend democracy when the rules have changed?
  Presidents turning into monarchs. Tech tycoons and autocrats intent on global regime change. Armies of cyber trolls.
  The old order is at an end. The Hour of the Predator has come.
  Former political advisor Giuliano da Empoli takes us on an insider's journey through this new geopolitical reality, from the Glass Palace of the UN to the Riyadh Ritz-Carlton, from top secret meetings to violent power struggles. We encounter dictators and tyrants, strongmen and AI billionaires - geopolitical predators, and the flailing leaders who desperately try to appease them.
   
  Just as in the age of the Borgias or the conquistadors, cynical scheming and brute force increasingly determine the course of international affairs. This is an urgent guide to our new world, and our uncertain future.

  Cleopatra - Her History Her Myth

  A feminist reinterpretation of the myths surrounding Cleopatra casts new light on the Egyptian queen and her legacy 
   
  The siren passionately in love with Mark Antony, the seductress who allegedly rolled out of a carpet she had herself smuggled in to see Caesar, Cleopatra is a figure shrouded in myth. Beyond the legends immortalized by Plutarch, Shakespeare, George Bernard Shaw, and others, there are no journals or letters written by Cleopatra herself. All we have to tell her story are words written by others. 
   
  What has it meant for our understanding of Cleopatra to have had her story told by writers who had a political agenda, authors who distrusted her motives, and historians who believed she was a liar? Francine Prose delves into ancient Greek and Roman literary sources, as well as modern representations of Cleopatra in art, theater, and film. She challenges the common narratives driven by orientalism and misogyny and offers a new interpretation of Cleopatra’s history from the lens of our own era.

  This comprehensive volume brings together five essential topics—Feudalism, Knights and Chivalry, Medieval Education, Medieval Monasticism, and Medieval Medicine—offering a vivid and informative picture of the world between the 5th and 15th centuries. 
  Feudalism unpacks the political and economic system that defined medieval Europe, where land ownership, vassalage, and loyalty structured society and dictated power dynamics. This section reveals how feudal ties affected governance, warfare, and daily life for peasants and nobles alike. 
  Knights and Chivalry delves into the romanticized but complex world of the knight—examining the code of chivalry, the ideals of honor and loyalty, and the brutal realities of medieval warfare and training. It also explores the cultural and symbolic roles knights played in literature and legend. 
  Medieval Education traces the development of learning during the Middle Ages, from cathedral schools to the birth of universities. It examines how knowledge was preserved, transmitted, and expanded by scholars, monks, and philosophers amid religious and political shifts. 
  Medieval Monasticism explores the role of monasteries as spiritual havens and centers of literacy, medicine, and agricultural innovation. Monastic life shaped religious thought, preserved classical texts, and influenced social and economic development across Europe. 
  Medieval Medicine reveals how health and healing were understood in a time when science was interwoven with religion and superstition. This section covers medical practices, key figures, and the influence of classical and Islamic knowledge on medieval health care. 
  Together, these five studies provide a rich understanding of the social fabric and cultural evolution of the medieval world, uncovering the foundations that would influence Europe for centuries.

  What if the key to unlocking your potential and achieving your most ambitious goals lies in mastering one single skill? That skill is willpower—a resource that drives discipline, focus, and the ability to resist distractions. 
  What Is Willpower? 
  Willpower is like a muscle—it gets tired when overused, but it can also be trained and strengthened over time. It’s the driving force behind saying “no” to temptations, “yes” to healthy choices, and staying on track even when the path gets tough. The problem? It’s a finite resource. Every decision you make chips away at your willpower reserves, making it essential to learn how to protect and replenish this vital strength. 
  Why Does It Matter? 
  From overcoming procrastination to managing finances, willpower is at the heart of many challenges we face daily. Lack of self-control can lead to missed opportunities, unhealthy habits, and unfulfilled potential. But here’s the good news: research shows that willpower isn’t fixed. It can be nurtured, expanded, and wielded more effectively through simple, actionable strategies.
