Sinopse

Byzantine Script Power explores the profound impact of writing and record-keeping on the thousand-year Byzantine Empire. It argues that script was not merely a tool, but a central force in shaping governance, solidifying faith, and enabling the empire's complex administration. The book delves into how imperial laws and legal codices, like the Corpus Juris Civilis, became symbols of authority. It also examines the creation and spread of religious texts and the meticulous record-keeping that facilitated centralized control, illustrating the deep connection between script and imperial power.

 
The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from legal history, religious studies, and public administration to offer a fresh perspective. By examining legal documents, illuminated manuscripts, and inscriptions, the study reveals new insights into scribal practices and textual culture. The book begins with an overview of Byzantine scriptoria and literacy, then progresses through the role of law, the intersection of script and faith, and finally the administrative uses of script, revealing how these written forms strengthened the empire.

    College is a high-stakes game, according to authors Ned Scott Laff and Scott Carlson, but students can learn how to win it. Hacking College offers college advisors, faculty, and staff in student and academic affairs a groundbreaking guide to rethinking higher education so that students can succeed in an increasingly complex world. Drawing from extensive research and real student experiences, this essential book exposes the hidden challenges and bureaucratic traps that undermine student success, from convoluted transfer processes to a single-minded emphasis on majors. 
     
     
     
    Each chapter provides strategies to help advisors lead students to tailor their education to their aspirations. Through vivid case studies, Laff and Carlson advocate for a proactive approach to education—encouraging students to "hack" their college experience by crafting a personalized field of study. This method challenges the traditional focus on declaring a major and empowers students to link their personal interests with academic pursuits so that their education aligns with future career and life goals. Enriched with insights on how to find underutilized institutional resources and foster meaningful mentor relationships, Hacking College encourages students, educators, and institutions to transform passive educational experiences into dynamic journeys of discovery and self-fulfillment.

  • Leadership from Bad to Worse - What Happens When Bad Festers - cover

    Leadership from Bad to Worse -...

    Leadership from Bad to Worse is about how leadership that is bad, invariably, inexorably, gets worse—unless it is somehow, by someone or something, stopped or slowed. 
     
     
     
    This work draws on four cases of bad leadership—two in political leadership, two in business leadership—to show how it goes from bad to worse. Kellerman finds that bad leadership and bad followership go through four phases of development: 1) Onward and Upward; 2) Followers Join In; 3) Leaders Start In; and 4) Bad to Worse. These findings correctly suggest that the book, in addition to being of theoretical interest, is of practical import. It is intended, deliberately, to serve as an early warning system. By breaking bad leadership and followership into phases—each more ominous and ultimately dangerous than the one preceding—their progression will be easier to predict and detect. And easier, therefore, to slow or, preferably, to stop before they turn toxic. 
     
     
     
    Bad leadership is a social disease. But unlike diseases that are physical or psychological, it remains at the margins of our collective concerns. Leadership from Bad to Worse is, then, a corrective. Knowing that bad leadership can be checked before it corrupts is knowing that bad and then worse can be, if not completely precluded, then sometimes short-circuited.
