  Agrippa I: Loyal Roman or Planning a Rebellion? 
  This is the complete script of a formal thesis defence delivered for a cum laude Master's in Classical Archaeology at the University of Pisa. 
  Note on Format & Scope: This 20-page transcript is a focused window into a decades-long research project that began when the author was 19. Spanning over 200 sources, this work bridges top-grade academic scholarship and peer-reviewed articles with an epic historical fiction series. Because digital platforms require audio presentations to be classed as audiobooks, this piece is available in text and podcast-style audio as delivered. 
  Based on an original 750-page dissertation, the defence examines Herod Agrippa I—grandson of Herod the Great and client king of Judea. Was he a loyal Roman statesman, a potential rebel, or a cunning political survivor? 
  Using a critical approach to ancient sources, archaeology, and historiography, the work explores: – The material and political landscape of Agrippa's reign – His diplomatic positioning between Roman and Judean authorities – Symptoms, political consequences, and the forensic plausibility of poisoning in his sudden death – Competing narratives of loyalty and power in the 1st century CE 
  Ideal for readers interested in Roman history, ancient politics, and classical antiquity.

  A practical and hopeful guide for anyone who wants a route map to a fairer, greener future.
  
  'Every so often, a book comes along that articulates exactly what our country needs. This is one. Essential reading' Zack Polanski 
  
  
  We are living in a social, political, economic and environmental emergency. The status quo is profoundly unstable; change is inevitable. Now is the time to get together to build a far healthier and more balanced world.
  
  The decades-old political orthodoxy - that greed is good, inequality doesn't matter and we can keep treating the planet as a mine and a dumping ground - has been a recipe for disaster. Our world needs a new vision, the Green vision. From Universal Basic Income to fee education, from less stuff but more life, to genuine democratic opportunities for all, Natalie Bennett brings together a holistic, hopeful and practical vision for the future.
  
  The foundations of Change Everything are conversations with many thousands of people. We need to engage millions to bring together the imagination, talents and energy of all in order to build and repair our societies. Then a positive future is within our reach.
  
  
  'A full-throated battle-song... We are ready for another world, we are ready to change everything and this wonderful book shows us exactly how we are going to do that' Caroline Lucas
  
  'Every so often, a book comes along that articulates exactly what our country needs. This is one. Essential reading' Zack Polanski
  
  'If charm and enthusiasm were enough to win over more reluctant citizens to a programme of radical change, Natalie Bennett would be a strong contender for the challenge. Change Everything is essentially a manifesto - delivered with great gusto - of what a green perspective would look like across a wide array of subjects' Ros Coward, The Ecologist
  
  'The real joy of this book is to be found in the breadth of Baroness Bennett's reading and experiences. It's a well-grounded text, a hallmark of a committed radical' Liam Byrne, Politics Home

  The End of America? - A Guide to...

  Alan Friedman

  America was the shining city on a hill. It was the country at the forefront of the world democratic order, the global policeman, the might of its military matched only by the depth of its financial reserves. America was the one the world listened to, whether it wanted to or not. So, what happened?
  Well, a lot of things. In this searing account, Alan Friedman shows how, from the disastrous Vietnam War to Barack Obama's bungled response to the Arab Spring, American intervention has ceased to be the decisive action it once was. And now, with the rise of China and Russia, coupled with America's prostration of itself following the election of Donald Trump, the decline of its authority is only hastening.
  We move now, Friedman argues, into the New World Disorder. In this dangerous and unstable world, the Washington-enforced liberal order is receding, and a new set of alliances and anxieties are in ascendence. What is America's place in this? Which powers are going to emerge as the leaders? Will the European Union count at all? One thing is for sure: the effects of the New World Disorder will challenge our Western values to breaking point.

  The Power of Citizenship - Why...

  Scott D. Reich

  Fifty years after John F. Kennedy's death, we find ourselves enmeshed in an era of political division and cynicism, where politicians talk past one another and the spirit of “Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country"" is less visible than it should be. We seem to have forgotten that we're all on the same team. Fortunately, Scott D. Reich has given us The Power of Citizenship, a timely book to bring us back on track. 
  Reich asserts that the most powerful element of Kennedy's legacy is his emphasis on the theme of citizenship, and that a rededication to the values Kennedy promoted will shine a bright path forward for our country. Evoking the hopes and aspirations of the 1960s, Reich recaptures the excitement of the Kennedy era. But what truly sets this book apart is the unique way it blends the romance of Camelot with the new frontiers of today—not only identifying modern challenges, but also offering a tangible blueprint for how we can improve our public discourse, be good citizens, and lift our nation to new heights of greatness. 
  Part history and part call to action, The Power of Citizenship hones in on the very essence of what made JFK so inspirational and timeless, reminding us once again that we must ask what we can do for our country. This is a must-read for Americans of all generations.

  We Are the Leaders We Have Been...

  In We Are the Leaders We Have Been Looking For, one of the nation's preeminent scholars and a New York Times bestselling author, Eddie S. Glaude Jr., makes the case that the hard work of becoming a better person should be a critical feature of Black politics. Through virtuoso interpretations of Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and Ella Baker, Glaude shows how we have the power to be the heroes that our democracy so desperately requires. 
   
   
   
  Based on the Du Bois Lectures delivered at Harvard University, the book begins with Glaude's unease with the Obama years. He felt then, and does even more urgently now, that the excitement around the Obama presidency constrained our politics as we turned to yet another prophet-like figure. He examines his personal history and the traditions that both shape and overwhelm his own voice. Glaude weaves anecdotes about his evolving views on Black politics together with the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, John Dewey, Toni Morrison, James Baldwin, and Ralph Ellison, encouraging us to reflect on the lessons of these great thinkers. 
   
   
   
  Narrated with passion and philosophical intensity, this book is a powerful reminder that if American democracy is to survive, we must step out from under the shadows of past giants to build a better society—one that derives its strength from the pew, not the pulpit.
