Managing Change in Museums and Galleries is the first practical
book to provide guidance on how to deal with organisational change
in museums, galleries or heritage organisations. Written by two
authors who have direct experience of leading change, running
change programmes and advising on change in more than 250 museums
and galleries, the book identifies the various problems, issues and
challenges that any professional in a museum or heritage
organisation is likely to encounter and provides advice on how to
deal with them. The book's six parts treat change holistically, and
help the reader understand what change entails, prepare for it and
lead it, ensure that everyone in the museum is involved, understand
what can go wrong and evaluate and learn from it. Each chapter is
devoted to a specific challenge that is often encountered during
change and is extensively cross-referenced to other relevant
chapters. Including a list of helpful resources and suggestions of
useful publications for further reading, this book is a unique
guide to change in museums. Managing Change in Museums and
Galleries is an essential resource for all museum practitioners -
whether they be the people in museums and galleries who are leading
change, or those affected by change as a leader, a member of staff
or a volunteer.

Umm al-Biyara, the highest mountain in Petra, southern Jordan, was
the first Iron Age Edomite site to be extensively excavated. It was
a domestic, unwalled site of stone-built longhouses dating to the
7th-6th centuries BCE. The stratigraphy, pottery, small finds and
inscribed material, including the important bulla of Qos-Gabr, King
of Edom are described, supplemented by chapters on the use of space
and a landscape study of mountain-top sites in the Petra region.
The later Nabataean remains on the edge of the summit indicate a
major Nabataean complex of buildings, possibly a palace, which
would make this the first Nabataean palace in Petra to be
explicitly identified.
Many have pursued, and continue to pursue, real immortality by
seeking to prolong their lives on this earth. Others pursue
symbolic or proxy immortality, through children, fame or being part
of something long-lasting. One can imagine these different forms of
immortality as a menu of options of how to live forever: you click
the one that appeals to you most and best fits your beliefs, hopes,
values and worldview.
Most of the papers published in this volume were originally
presented at a conference of the same name, organised by the
editors, and held in Atlanta, Georgia, in November 2003. The Wadi
Arabah falls between the two areas of southern Jordan and Negev,
and has traditionally been seen as a barrier and border. This book
(and the conference it came out of) is an attempt to look at this
neglected area anew: bridge, rather than barrier.
This book honors the significant and enduring work of Old Testament
scholar Alan Millard. The contributors to this festschrift take up
all of his concerns with the relationship between writing, the
development and Israel, and ancient Near Eastern society.
This final report on an Iron Age site in southern Jordan, the biblical kingdom of Edom, is the first ever to be published and sheds light on an important aspect of biblical history.
