Pushing the Boundaries of Historia collects together 20 chapters,
whose coverage extends from the prehistory of Greece through early
Christianity in the Roman Empire to the reception of classical
texts by contemporary playwrights and poets. The essays range
beyond Greece and Rome to the ancient realms of Persia and China
and explore a vast array of ancient authors - Homer, Herodotus,
Thucydides, Euripides, Vergil, Ovid, Livy, and Tacitus. Written by
philologists, historians, epigraphers, palaeographers,
archaeologists, and art historians, it brings together the best of
old and new traditions of classical study, from senior emeritus
faculty with established records of scholarly productivity, to the
newest generation of classics and archaeology professors. What
draws together the disparate strands of academic inquiry found in
these pages is a passion for understanding how the lessons of the
world of the ancient Greeks, Romans, and their still lamentably
understudied neighbors, can offer commentary on the contemporary
world.

With good cheer and from a standpoint of "we," The Etiquette of
Kindness - It's Not Just About the Right Fork is a lively, useful
guide to Skills and Courtesies for Our Time -- A Manual for Young
People (and Others ). In twenty chapters, The Etiquette of Kindness
brings together the author's over fourteen years of classroom
teaching of 6th, 7th and 8th graders. With the same richness of
content, accessibility, practical simplicity and interactive good
humor experienced with the students in the classroom, The Etiquette
of Kindness shares ideas, information and tips to help young people
feel more at ease and self-confident in their daily surroundings.
It speaks to the students straight-across, with respect for young
peoples' hopes, dreams, talents and challenges; it helps them gain
opportunity-creating knowledge and skills for smoother, happier,
more positive living and relationships. On every page, the focus is
on gaining skills and paying attention to how we treat each other.
Just as in the classroom, mindful kindness-in-action is the basis
for all suggestions and information we share. Chapters cover
subjects such as: bullying; wise, courteous phone and e-device use;
kindly, capable communication; meeting-and-greeting; the importance
and various forms of saying "Thank you " and "Hello "; presenting
ourselves well; social and dining skills; simple grammar checks;
making healthful choices; creating a life-enhancing "Attitude of
Gratitude" . . . One chapter, one heading, one sub-heading can
easily be taken in small or large teaching bites to bring this
timely, transforming, life-enhancing subject to students and to the
adults who care about them. The Etiquette of Kindness provides
inspiration and support for lively classroom and family
conversations and exercises to expand critical thinking and student
skills. Additionally, at chapter ends there are concise summations
and suggestions for further role-playing (students and teachers
love this), contemplation, practice, or discussion opportunities.
Young people searching for help with their what, why, who, when and
how questions about daily living, interacting with others and
fitting-in; teachers seeking to find simple ways to broaden and
deepen the skills they bring to their students; families wishing to
