Until the publication of this captivating biography, no such volume
on Trajan's life has been tailored to the general reader. The
unique book illuminates a neglected period of ancient Roman
history, featuring comprehensive maps and photographs to help
orientate and bring the text to life. Trajan rose from fairly
obscure beginnings to become the emperor of Rome. He was born in
Italica, an Italic settlement close to modern Seville in
present-day Spain, and is the first Roman Emperor to be born
outside of Rome. His remarkable rise from officer to general and
then to emperor in just over 20 years reveals a shrewd politician
who maintained absolute power. Trajan's military success in taking
the Roman Empire to its greatest expanse is highlighted in this
gripping biography. Trajan's military campaigns allowed the Roman
Empire to attain its greatest military, political and cultural
achievements. The book draws on novel theories, recent evidence and
meticulous research, including field visits to Italy, Spain,
Germany and Romania to ensure accurate, vivid writing that
transports the reader to Trajan's territory.

influenced by various aspects of an organizational merger and
investigates the impact on behavior for those involved in the
process. Drawing from both psychological and sociological insights,

psychological contract between the employee and the organization,

Hitler was one of the few politicians who understood that
persuasion was everything, deployed to anchor an entire regime in
the confections of imagery, rhetoric and dramaturgy. The Nazis
pursued propaganda not just as a tool, an instrument of government,
but also as the totality, the raison d'etre, the medium through
which power itself was exercised. Moreover, Nicholas O'Shaughnessy
argues, Hitler, not Goebbels, was the prime mover in the propaganda
regime of the Third Reich - its editor and first author. Under the
Reich everything was a propaganda medium, a building-block of
public consciousness, from typography to communiques, to
architecture, to weapons design. There were groups to initiate
rumours and groups to spread graffiti. Everything could be
interrogated for its propaganda potential, every surface inscribed
with polemical meaning, whether an enemy city's name, an historical
epic or the poster on a neighbourhood wall. But Hitler was in no
sense an innovator - his ideas were always second- hand.Rather his
expertise was as a packager, fashioning from the accumulated mass
of icons and ideas, the historic debris, the labyrinths and byways
of the German mind, a modern and brilliant political show
articulated through deftly managed symbols and rituals. The Reich
would have been unthinkable without propaganda - it would not have
been the Reich.

when it happens again- to someone dear to them. Motivated, they
spend themselves, searching of the elusive, bewildering cult
leader.

of a student-housing apartment landlord. Bosses order her to give
eviction notices to three residents. An advocacy group enters the
town, to represent the students and guarantee justice. The law is
cast aside, as the groups collide in the town square. Magnolia
Hills is shaken, reeled, and awestruck at the outcome. In the
second part, a kindhearted woman is injured in a factory accident.
Her husband seeks retribution on the town, and enacts a crime ring
that stuns and cripples the city. City leaders try and assuage the
situation, to continue to present the image of a quaint, unified
Magnolia Hills.
