  The rise of the Roman Empire marks one of the most transformative periods in world history. Emerging from humble beginnings as a small settlement on the banks of the Tiber River, Rome grew to dominate the ancient world through a combination of military prowess, political innovation, and cultural assimilation. This chapter explores the foundations of Roman power, the empire’s expansive reach across continents, and the key figures who shaped its rise. 
  Rome's origins date back to the 8th century BCE, with its legendary founding attributed to Romulus and Remus. Initially a monarchy, Rome evolved into a republic around 509 BCE after the overthrow of the last Etruscan king. This transition marked the beginning of a new political era, where power rested with the Senate and elected magistrates. The republican framework, characterized by a system of checks and balances, laid the foundation for Rome's expansive ambitions. As the republic matured, it developed a complex legal system and a robust military structure that would be instrumental in its growth. 
  One of Rome’s most significant advantages was its strategic location. Positioned at the crossroads of the Mediterranean, Rome became a hub for trade and communication. The city's ability to integrate conquered territories through road networks and infrastructure projects further solidified its control. Additionally, the Roman practice of granting varying levels of citizenship to conquered peoples helped maintain loyalty and stability within the expanding state.

  2021 NYC Book Award Winner, Caregiving 
   
   
   
  What starts as loving, compassionate care becomes an isolating, stressful, never-ending race to get everything done. Inevitably, anger and resentment creep in—toward the person being cared for as well as other family members who don't pitch in . . . or both. So guilt and shame for not feeling loving all the time gets added to the emotional mix. 
   
   
   
  Worst of all, most caregivers have no support system, and no plan for ensuring that they're taking good care of themselves first so they can keep going without falling apart. Is there any hope for a better life? 
   
   
   
  Yes! In Take Back your Life: A Caregiver's Guide to Finding Freedom in the Midst of Overwhelm, psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, and experienced family caregiver Loren Gelberg-Goff shows you exactly how to get back to having a life, feel that loving connection you thought was gone, stop arguing and get cooperation from your siblings and others, and discover other resources you can call upon to guarantee that much-needed "you time."

  Dreamer. Wannabe. Overnight success. Catastrophic failure. Writer. 
  Glimpse the gritty, behind-the-scenes struggles of author Todd Fahnestock as he reveals his dreams, trials, and adventures through the creative swamps of writing and the hard-edged world of publishing. 
  Fahnestock dodges junior high bullies armed with needles taped to Bic pens, cracks into traditional publishing by hitchhiking to the middle of nowhere to meet writing legend Gary Paulsen, and nearly falls to his death hanging cables inside an oil tanker. All to follow the author’s dream. 
  Submerged in the treacherous, ever-changing ocean of art and business, Fahnestock paints an unforgettable portrait with honesty and touching vulnerability. 
  “Reminiscent of Steven Pressfield’s The War of Art, Falling to Fly approaches the artist’s challenge not from a how-to perspective but from an emotional and psychological one.” 
  -Jerry Fabyanic, Award-Winning Author of the Sisyphus Series 
  “This book is the Kitchen Confidential of the publishing industry.”

  The Busybody

  Susanna Centlivre

  The Busybody is the most popular comedy by the eighteenth-century playwright Susanna Centlivre. The play centres on two couples trying to form a relationship against the wills of their guardians, and in a battle of wits, playing with many conventions from theatre traditions across the continent, a conclusion is eventually reached.
  Like her predecessor Aphra Behn, Centlivre was immensely successful in her day, drawing huge crowds to extended runs of her numerous plays, but the stabbing male pens of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries decried her work as being louche and dangerous, and her name slowly sunk into obscurity.
  This edition, published with William Hazlitt's prefatory note and extra material on Centlivre's life and writing, seeks to highlight the dexterity with which she took on the stage.

  A Grammar Series That Uses the Functional Approach 
  
  KEY FEATURES 
  - Functional approach to grammar teaching, using exemplars to illustrate the usage before defining the structure and rules

  - Use of literature to help learners understand how grammar is used in text

  DESCRIPTION: 
  My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world. Especially in our country, where English serves as the lingua franca, a grammar course has to offer not only an exposition of the pedagogy but also the exhibition of the utility of that pedagogy. The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary. While the level of exposure to English of all learners may be different, a grammar series should aid in the development of a certain level of confidence amongst the learners, with the end result being that they are able to converse without hesitation in English.
