POETAE COMICI GRAECI is now the standard and indispensable
reference work for the whole of Greek Comedy, a genre which
flourished in Antiquity for over a millenium, from the VI century
B.C. to the V century A.D.: More than 250 poets are conveniently
arranged in alphabetical sequence and all the surviving texts have
been carefully edited with full testimonia, detailed critical
apparatus, and brief but illuminating subsidia interpretationis.
The commentaries are in Latin. This great enterprise has won
universal acclaim, Vol. VI 2 Menander being singled out by the
Times Literary Supplement as one of the "International Books of the
Year 1998".

Thesmophoriazusae was performed in Athens in 411 BCE, most likely
at the City Dionysia, and is among the most brilliant of
Aristophanes' eleven surviving comedies. It is the story of the
crucial moment in a quarrel
between the tragic playwright Euripides and Athens' women, who
accuse him of slandering them in his plays and are holding a
meeting at one of their secret festivals to set a penalty for his
crimes. Thesmophoriazusae is a brilliantly inventive comedy, full
of wild slapstick humour and devastating literary parody, and is a
basic source for questions of gender and sexuality in late
5th-century Athens and for the popular reception of Euripidean
tragedy.
Austin and Olson offer a text based on a fresh examination of the
papyri and manuscripts, and a detailed commentary covering a wide
range of literary, historical, and philological issues. The
introduction includes sections on the date and historical setting
of the play; the Thesmophoria festival; Aristophanes' handling of
Euripidean tragedy; staging; Thesmophoriazusae II; and the history
of modern critical work on the text. All Greek in the introduction
and commentary not cited for technical reasons is translated.

Throughout the nonprofit sector, successes are celebrated and
mistakes tend to be deliberately forgotten. But, as Mistakes to
Success: Learning and Adapting When Things Go Wrong makes clear,
this is a lost opportunity. Discussing, analyzing and learning from
mistakes should be a common practice, which can strengthen the work
of nonprofits. Breaking new ground, Mistakes to Success provides a
rich collection of revealing essays focused on failures in the
field of community economic development. The authors, leaders in
the nonprofit field, write with firsthand knowledge about a range
of projects, including an ethnic marketplace in Chicago, a
childcare assistance initiative in New York City, national
workforce development initiatives and an innovative program to help
working families purchase affordable used cars. These compelling
stories provide valuable insights into what it takes to shape and
manage complicated initiatives designed to improve opportunities
for lower-income people and communities. This collection will be a
valuable resource for anyone interested in the challenges
associated with social innovations, including program leaders,
nonprofit advocates, policymakers, elected officials, foundation
officers and members of the public."Researchers and practitioners
jump at the chance to show their latest program impact results and
share best practices. Asking them to acknowledge, much less
discuss, their mistakes is like inviting them for a root canal.
Yet, we learn some of our most useful lessons from our mistakes.
The authors deserve gratitude from those interested in improving
the practice of workforce and community development." - Chris King,
Director, Ray Marshall Center, LBJ School of Public Affairs,
University of Texas at Austin"This volume offers a fascinating walk
through a variety of social innovation programs that didn't
succeed, or at least didn't work as planned. Key themes, such as
defining what constitutes success, determining when a project's
success should be judged, balancing or prioritizing among the
multiple goals social projects often reach for, and building and
sustaining organizational capacity are addressed in a variety of
contexts, providing a rich set of insights for both program leaders
and investors." - Maureen Conway, Director, The Aspen Institute
Workforce Strategies Initiative
