Shouting at the Gods!

I fell in love with the essay form because I fell in love with authors who were masters of it - and snuck it to me through a side door. Those authors were Isaac Asimov and Harlan Ellison. As a boy, I loved their fiction, and only learned after I was well-immersed that they were as prolific with essays as they were with short stories. I promptly started buying their essay collections - Of Time and Space and Other Things, and Sleepless Nights in the Procrustean Bed are excellent exemplars - and added that form to my long-term agenda. As I was becoming a journalist, I discovered Russell Baker, soon followed by Joan Didion and Hunter S. Thompson and a dozen other masters of the form. And in my years as a journalist, I invested great energy in it myself. This collection represents, I hope, my best. I've done many such collections before, and this one is as random as any of them, but I've taken care to omit the frivolous and incidental: this batch is intended to present the best I've managed to date. I hope it lives up to that intention!

The Talent Imperative: Inside the US Army’s Talent Management Transformation

The US Army faces an extraordinary people management challenge: managing more than one million service members worldwide who rotate through new roles every two to three years. For decades, the Army relied on a one-size-fits-all, Industrial Age personnel system that treated individuals as interchangeable parts.

Tracing the Transformation of Southern Italy in The Long Fourth Century BCE

This book traces the transformations and developments in South Italy in the period from the late fifth century to the establishment of Roman political control in this area, the 'long' fourth century BCE. Tracing the Transformation of South Italy primarily focuses on dynamics within and among Italic communities in South Italy, but it also addresses transformations induced by entanglements with 'Greek'/Italiote cities, connections with the wider Mediterranean world and encounters with the emerging power of Rome. The contributions present a new and multi-faceted picture for understanding the rapidly changing regional landscape at the threshold of "pre-Roman" and "early Roman" south Italy. This volume builds a new narrative of fourth-century south Italy based on the full breadth of archaeological evidence, rather than on later literary voices. It does so by combining research on various regions and by cutting across the compartmentalisation in the archaeology of south Italy, often based on regional studies or notions of past ethnic grouping. Paying attention to the dynamics between the regional and local, it also utilises different arrays of archaeological evidence that are often analysed in separation to provide a holistic picture that liberates the vision of the long fourth century from the dominance of the literary tradition. Offering a rounded picture of South Italy in this transformative period, based on a wide variety of evidence, this book is for researchers in Classical archaeology as well as historians with an interest in landscape and settlement studies, social formation, craft developments, iconography and cult of the period.
