This collection of essays from a diverse group of internationally
recognized scholars builds on the work of Steven J. Friesen to
analyze the material and ideological dimensions of John’s
Apocalypse and the religious landscape of the Roman East. Readers
will gain new perspectives on the interpretation of John’s
Apocalypse, the religion of Hellenistic cities in the Roman Empire,
and the political and economic forces that shaped life in the
Eastern Mediterranean. The chapters in this volume examine texts
and material culture within carefully localized analysis while
attending to their ideological and socio-economic contexts,
expanding upon aspects of Friesen’s research and methodology
while also forging new directions. The book brings together a
diverse and international set of experts including emerging voices
in the fields of biblical studies, Roman social history, and
classical archaeology, and each essay presents fresh, critically
informed analysis of key sites and texts from the periods of
Christian origins and Roman imperial rule. Revelation and Material
Religion in the Roman East is of interest to students and scholars
working on Christian origins, ancient Judaism, Roman religion,
classical archaeology, and the social history of the Roman Empire,
as well as material religion in the ancient Mediterranean more
broadly. It is also suitable for religious practitioners within
Christian contexts.
This book, first published in 1940, is a systematic analysis of
Britain’s principal food supplies and the means by which they are
distributed to the people. Its calculates the total quantities of
food required to feed the whole nation properly, examines pricing
structures and the sources of the food stuffs. Both home produced
and imported foods are covered in this survey, as are restrictions
in the form of the wartime governmental controls.
There is more than a touch of 'The Emperor's New Clothes' in the
way many organizations approach project management and the
consequences are all too clear: project methodology inappropriately
applied; little or no consideration of complexity or ambiguity;
alienation of the stakeholders and a statistically poor record of
performance for major business or infrastructure projects. Charles
Smith's groundbreaking book Making Sense of Project Realities
offers convincing explanations as to why project management theory
and practice have become disconnected and describes the kind of
complex, human skills that are required to deliver successful
projects. The text draws heavily on the experiences of practising
project and programme managers from across private and public
sector organizations, many of whose stories were shared and
analysed during the two-year research network 'Rethinking Project
Management', which brought together thought leaders on project
management from consultancy, industry and academia. The result is a
highly readable, very credible and imaginative exploration of the
nature of projects and programmes that will strike a chord with
every project practitioner; a book that offers a realistic set of
ideas for developing creative and effective project players, who
understand the purpose of what they are doing, the context within
which they are working, and the people with whom they need to
engage. Update: Several MBA Courses use this book and the tutor
feedback is encouragingly positive, including: "can be used from
day one to change the mindset of the students concerning projects
and their management."

This book takes the reader on an insiderOs tour of the psychology
of stock market investing. In more than 3,000 hours of interviews
and observations, Smith granted some of the most famous insiders on
Wall Street the protection of anonymity to procure their deepest
and most frank views on the operation of the market. Their words
are heard here in vivid and often surprising detail. What emerges
is a startling portrait of how the prejudices of six different
types of players_fundamentalists, insiders, cyclists, traders,
efficient market believers, and transformational idea
adherents_influence the ups and downs of the market. Smith explains
how new trends, such as computer trading and mutual and retirement
fund investing, interact with these psychologies_drawing a
remarkable picture of how market behavior is inherently more human
than technical.
This book explores the relationships between property and the
concept of sovereignty from a number of different perspectives. It
distinguishes between the dual meaning of 'sovereignty' in property
discourse - political sovereignty and owner sovereignty. The
contributors discuss the nature of sovereignty in both senses,
applying it to a wide range of topics such as the evolution of
property rights in fragile and conflict-affected nation states, and
notions of sovereign property in new worlds. A section on the Arts
illuminates the relationships between property, sovereignty, and
culture, and a further section investigates regulatory property and
governmental control over resources. The book concludes with an
exploration of sovereign shaping of private property entitlements
to achieve instrumental ends. This interesting collection will be
valuable to those in the fields of legal philosophy, property
theory, international and comparative law, and political sociology.
