Objectives/Goals:· The participant can fulfil the role of project manager through team development driven by motivation and engagement, handling conflicts and communication internally within the project and in relation to the project's other stakeholders.

Here goes my and many others’ youth as well. This was the place to buy cheaper second hand books as a student, and to sell them after graduation. Many fond memories walking through the floors.

@economist.com has analysed 1.4m Epstein emails post-conviction and groupped and ranked them by the industry in which correspondents worked: #1 finance (19%); #2 academia (17%); then politics; then media/entertainment.

I seriously wonder why people who are serious scholars keep posting this kind of “I asked AI…” followed by “and all I got was this lousy result” to draw the inevitable conclusion: “AI is overhyped”, “so let’s continue as before”.

The notion of an ailing body politic feels sadly relevant today. My November blogpost reflects on a workshop held in September that explored how the notion of the body politic was deployed by republican writers in the C17 and C18. www.rachelhammersley.com/new-blog/2025/10/28/republican-bodies

Here is a cool drawing from an early seventeenth-century manuscript showing 8 guys (with great hats and wild beards) discussing. Also there is a typical #earlymodern private library in the back, #bookhistory nerds! A few bound books, some with clasps, stored in many ways, including #backwardsbooks
8 men sitting in a room, in the back is a library. The drawing is from a Latin manuscript from Reginbald Moehner "Epitomae rerum Suevicorum" that is nowadays in the Staats- und Stadtbibliothek Augsburg (2° Cod. 371). The image is from page 13r and maybe shows the Nuremberg Humanist Willibald Pirckheimer. a detail of the drawing: the small library.
