The real story of Giulia Farnese, a woman far beyond time.Giulia Farnese, a woman who traverses time to find, in this novel, her redemption.Her real story is that of a woman who goes far beyond the figure of Sponsa Christi as she was known throughout the world.The writer traces the profile of a strong woman who, once free from the trammels of a family that raised her to be obedient, rises from her ashes and the damnatio memoriæ to become the mater and the domina of the feud of Carbognano.With an absorbing prose, and based on an historical plot of true events, the author gives back to La Bella the dignity that historical documentation has always overlooked, preferring to chase after fifth century gossip.

    This program is read by the author with a special appearance from his mom.An intimate and light-hearted memoir by viral sensation and three-time Emmy-nominated musical comedian Randy Rainbow that takes readers through his life—the highs, the lows, the lipstick, the pink glasses, and the show tunes.Randy Rainbow, the man who conquered the Internet with a stylish pair of pink glasses, an inexhaustible knowledge of Broadway musicals, and the most gimlet-eyed view of American politics this side of Mark Twain finally tells all in Playing with Myself, a memoir sure to cause more than a few readers to begin singing one of his greatest hits like “A Spoonful of Clorox” or “Cover Your Freakin’ Face.”As Randy has said, “There’s so much fake news out there about me. I can’t wait to set the record straight and finally give people a peek behind the green screen.” And set the record straight he does. Playing with Myself is a first-hand account of the journey that led Randy Rainbow from his childhood as the over-imaginative, often misunderstood little boy who carried a purse in the second grade to his first job on Broadway as the host at Hooters and on to the creation of his trademark comedy character. In chapters titled “Pajama Bottoms” (a look back at the days when he wore pajama bottoms on his head to pretend he was Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz), “Yes, It’s My Real Name, Shut Up!” (no explanation necessary...) and “Pink Glasses” (a rose-colored homage to his favorite accessory), Playing with Myself is a memoir that answers the question “Can an introverted musical theatre nerd with a MacBook and a dream save the world, one show tune at a time?”A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press.

    Social engineering is the art of manipulating individuals into divulging confidential or personal information by exploiting their psychological vulnerabilities. Unlike traditional forms of hacking, which rely on technical skills to break into systems, social engineering takes advantage of human behavior to gain access to sensitive data. Whether through deceit, persuasion, or psychological manipulation, social engineers often prey on an individual’s trust, emotions, or fear, making it a more subtle yet highly effective form of attack. This introduction will explore what social engineering is, its methods, and why it has become such a significant threat in today’s digital landscape. 
    The core idea behind social engineering is simple: it is the manipulation of people rather than technology. In this approach, an attacker bypasses security measures and instead focuses on exploiting the weakest link in any organization or system—the people. These attacks can take many forms, ranging from phishing emails to impersonating authority figures, all designed to get the victim to willingly provide information, click on malicious links, or take actions that compromise their security. The success of social engineering relies not on breaking through firewalls or hacking encryption systems but on exploiting the trust and naivety of human beings. 
    Social engineering attacks can have serious consequences, especially as more of our personal and professional lives move online. Cybercriminals can gain access to sensitive personal information, financial data, or corporate secrets, leading to identity theft, financial loss, or damage to an organization’s reputation. In the corporate world, social engineering is often used as a gateway to larger cyberattacks. For instance, once an attacker gains access to an employee’s credentials through a phishing scheme, they can infiltrate company systems, potentially compromising valuable data.

    What if the hero of World War II wasn’t as heroic as history remembers? 
    Winston Churchill is widely celebrated as the indomitable leader who stood against tyranny and rallied a nation in its darkest hour. But behind the rousing speeches and iconic persona lies a far more complicated figure—one whose decisions, beliefs, and actions raise hard questions about power, privilege, and morality. 
    The Dark Side of Winston Churchill strips away the myth to reveal the man—and forces us to confront the full truth of his legacy. 
    This provocative and deeply researched book examines the contradictions, controversies, and consequences of Churchill’s political career, from his involvement in the Bengal Famine and colonial repression to his perspectives on race, empire, and social class. Drawing on primary sources, personal letters, and historical records, it paints a nuanced portrait of a man revered by some and reviled by others. 
    Inside, you’ll discover: 
    How Churchill’s imperialist ideology shaped British policies from India to Africa 
    His controversial decisions during World War II—and their human cost 
    The political maneuvering and rhetoric that built his myth while obscuring uncomfortable truths 
    How Churchill’s legacy continues to influence modern politics, nationalism, and historical memory 
    History isn’t just what we remember—it’s also what we choose to forget. 
    👉 Buy The Dark Side of Winston Churchill today and take a bold step beyond the myth.
