  “Naeymi's mesmerizing narration takes listeners into the heart-stopping intrigue and action of nations at war and into the souls of women with cool demeanors and spines of steel.” —AudioFileThe incredible untold story of four women who spun the web of deception that helped win World War II.Betty MacDonald was a 28-year-old reporter from Hawaii. Zuzka Lauwers grew up in a tiny Czechoslovakian village and knew five languages by the time she was 21. Jane Smith-Hutton was the wife of a naval attaché living in Tokyo. Marlene Dietrich, the German-American actress and singer, was of course one of the biggest stars of the 20th century. These four women, each fascinating in her own right, together contributed to one of the most covert and successful military campaigns in WWII. As members of the OSS, their task was to create a secret brand of propaganda produced with the sole aim to break the morale of Axis soldiers. Working in the European theater, across enemy lines in occupied China, and in Washington, D.C., Betty, Zuzka, Jane, and Marlene forged letters and “official” military orders, wrote and produced entire newspapers, scripted radio broadcasts and songs, and even developed rumors for undercover spies and double agents to spread to the enemy. And outside of a small group of spies, no one knew they existed. Until now. In Propaganda Girls, bestselling author Lisa Rogak brings to vivid life the incredible true story of four unsung heroes, whose spellbinding achievements would change the course of history.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

  In podcast form, this audiobook presents part of a CIfA archaeology conference talk and a section of the thesis defense of a 750‑page Classical (Roman) Archaeology master’s thesis awarded full marks at the University of Pisa. 
  Agrippa I, grandson of Herod the Great and Mariamne the Hasmonean princess, lived at the intersection of Roman power and Judaean identity. This study examines his rise, political career, and sudden death, drawing on archaeological evidence, coinage, and literary sources to reconstruct the strategies, pressures, and cultural tensions that shaped his world. 
  First delivered at the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA UK) conference in 2021 and later expanded within a University of Pisa master’s thesis, the work combines historical narrative with material‑culture analysis. 
  Part I explores Agrippa’s life and movements within the Julio‑Claudian court. 
  Part II investigates the cultural schism emerging in Herodian Judaea, revealed through elite domestic architecture, imported vessels, and the “pure style” of Judaean workshops. 
  Together, these sections form a rigorous and engaging account of the last king of Roman Judaea, framed as a true‑crime inquiry into the political circumstances surrounding his mysterious death. 
  This edition republishes the material for a wider audience of students, scholars, and readers of ancient history.

  The Meditations

  Marcus Aurelius

  Marcus Aurelius wrote Meditations in Greek while on campaign between 170 and 180, as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. 
  These memos survive and continue to inspire others to this day. These writings take the form of quotations varying in length from one sentence to long paragraphs. He explicates the Stoic philosophy that the only way a man can be harmed by others is to allow his reaction to overpower him. 
  He shows no particular religious faith in his writings, but seems to believe that some sort of logical, benevolent force organizes the universe in such a way that even "bad" occurrences happen for the good of the whole.

  Campus Free Speech - A Pocket Guide

  Cass R. Sunstein

  Free speech is indispensable on college campuses: allowing varied views and frank exchanges of opinion is a core component of the educational enterprise. But free speech does not mean a free-for-all. The First Amendment prohibits "abridging the freedom of speech," yet laws against perjury or bribery, for example, are still constitutional. In the same way, valuing freedom of speech does not stop a university from regulating speech when doing so is necessary for its educational mission. So where is the dividing line? How can we distinguish reasonable restrictions from impermissible infringement? 
   
   
   
  In this pragmatic, no-nonsense explainer, Cass Sunstein takes us through a wide range of scenarios involving students, professors, and administrators. He discusses why it's consistent with the First Amendment to punish students who shout down a speaker, but not those who chant offensive slogans; why a professor cannot be fired for writing a politically charged op-ed, yet a university might legitimately consider an applicant's political views when deciding whether to hire her. He explains why private universities are not legally bound by the First Amendment yet should, in most cases, look to follow it. And he addresses the thorny question of whether a university should officially take sides on public issues or deliberately keep the institution outside the fray.
