One for the Medievalists... If you wanted to set one (rel. short and not necessarily without flaws) piece to intro students to the broad span of medieval "mentalities", what would would you set? Currently I'm favouring something from Le Goff's Medieval Civilization, despite its dating

I really wish some people would be more discerning with the word "groundbreaking", especially when you're not actually an expert in the field in which you think new ground is apparently being broke. Something can be very good without need for ridiculous hyperbole.

If you ever wanted to see what Dystopia looks like, just go through the staff list of the "Change Management" consultancy firm your employer has brought in to gut your institution and ruin people's lives and careers.

Saw someone posting about being in a pseudo-Crusading order on the other place and that's about enough of that.

Also really delighted that this volume is now out in the world - I'm immensely proud of it as co-editor and contributor.
