Back to School in Babylonia
This volume—the companion book to the special exhibition Back to School in Babylonia of the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures of the University of Chicago—explores education in the Old Babylonian period through the lens of House F in Nippur, excavated jointly by the University of Chicago and the University of Pennsylvania in the early 1950s and widely believed to have been a scribal school. The book's twenty essays offer a state-of-the-art synthesis of research on the history of House F and the educational curriculum documented on the many tablets discovered there, while the catalog's five chapters present the 126 objects included in the exhibition, the vast majority of them cuneiform tablets.

The thirty-nine articles in this volume, One Who Loves Knowledge, have been contributed by colleagues, students, friends, and family in honor of Richard Jasnow, professor of Egyptology at Johns Hopkins University.

The volume also includes other studies on literature, Ptolemaic history, and even the god Thoth himself, and features detailed images and abundant hieroglyphic, hieratic, demotic, Coptic, and Greek texts.

From a critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling author and poet comes “a delightfully hybrid book: part anthology, part critical study, part autobiography” (Chicago Tribune) that is organized around fifty-one remarkable poems by poets such as Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, Wallace Stevens, and Sylvia Plath. For Jill Bialosky, certain poems stand out like signposts at pivotal moments in a life: the death of a father, adolescence, first love, leaving home, the suicide of a sister, marriage, the birth of a child, the day in New York City the Twin Towers fell.

From the world of the Lost Souls ParaAgency series comes a bad witch with good intentions. My name is Lola, and I'm a bad witch. At least, that's what they tell me. I can't remember anything past the recent Winter Solstice. Focusing on the past never did anyone any favors, so I'm taking my fresh start and helping others.

In Courage: How Entrepreneurs and Their Leadership Teams Can Experience Less Pain in Growth Mode
After facilitating over five hundred sessions with leadership teams in growth mode, Jill Young observed that true entrepreneurs thrive in courage rather than fear. In short, these business owners have a courage mindset--a way of thinking that fuels the evolution. Young, a certified EOS(R) implementer, entrepreneur, and speaker who specializes in guiding business owners to create a vision, experience traction, and form unified teams, dissects the secrets of the courage mindset for the entrepreneur and team that encourages expression in three ways: to practice discipline, lighten up, and experiment--all while still achieving the kind of growth that takes companies to new heights. While serving as an approachable coach and cheerleader, Young leads entrepreneurs through a step-by-step process that identifies roadblocks to success, pinpoints time wasters, invites the creation of positive workplace environments where people thrive, and encourages experimentation.
