Allegro

The only African American vice president at one of Boston's hottest ad agencies, Jada Green is at the top of her game. She's 45 and single, but she's living life to the fullest. Luca Alessandri, the strikingly handsome president of Allegro, an Italian commercial design firm, is looking for an ad agency to help craft his company's image in the US. When they meet, they are both thrown off balance by their instant attraction. Jada knows there can only be trouble getting involved with a potential client, so she faces a real dilemma when Luca starts pursuing her with a vengeance. Their romance takes them from Boston to the Alpine beauty of Torino, Italy and back again as they learn about each other and struggle to balance their careers, friendships, jealousies . . .and threats from vengeful colleagues.

Reframing the Roman Economy

This book focuses on those features of the Roman economy that are less traceable in text and archaeology, and as a consequence remain largely underexplored in contemporary scholarship. By reincorporating, for the first time, these long-obscured practices in mainstream scholarly discourses, this book offers a more complete and balanced view of an economic system that for too long has mostly been studied through its macro-economic and large-scale – and thus archaeologically and textually omnipresent – aspects. The topic is approached in five thematic sections, covering unusual actors and perspectives, unusual places of production, exigent landscapes of exploitation, less-visible products and artefacts, and divergent views on emblematic economic spheres. To this purpose, the book brings together a select group of leading scholars and promising early career researchers in archaeology and ancient economic history, well positioned to steer this ill-developed but fundamental field of the Roman economy in promising new directions.

Rethinking Geographical Explorations in Extreme Environments

Focusing on extreme environments, from Umberto Nobile’s expedition to the Arctic to the commercialization of Mt Everest, this volume examines global environmental margins, how they are conceived and how perceptions have changed. Mountaintops and Arctic environments are the settings of social encounters, political strategies, individual enterprises, geopolitical tensions, decolonial practises, and scientific experiments. Concentrating on mountaineering and Arctic exploration between 1880 – 1960, contributors to this volume show how environmental marginalisation has been discursively implemented and materially generated by foreign and local actors. It examines to what extent the status and...

The Peoples of Ancient Italy

Although there are many studies of certain individual ancient Italic groups (e.g. the Etruscans, Gauls and Latins), there is no work that takes a comprehensive view of each of them—the famous and the less well-known—that existed in Iron Age and Roman Italy. Moreover, many previous studies have focused only on the material evidence for these groups or on what the literary sources have to say about them. This handbook is conceived of as a resource for archaeologists, historians, philologists and other scholars interested in finding out more about Italic groups from the earliest period they are detectable (early Iron Age, in most instances), down to the time when they begin to assimilate in...
