Review # 1 was written on 2014-06-14 00:00:00 Steffen Leithold I own this in the Ulan Press version for Amazon but the content'll be the same: I'm always impressed by the meticulous scholarship I'd appreciate more if I knew ancient Greek beyond the ability to Latinise the words. Highlights are Marcus Aurelius's trying to spare a contumacious Egyptian and my finding out they had the privilege of being beaten by a stick rather than flogged by a whip though that Egyptian was heading for death in all the other privileged insignia he was insistingon and granted. The language is reminiscent of the demotic new testament written not long before though the scene a bit more plausibly true than the one concocted for Pilate. Another stand-out letter was that of a young boy emotionally blackmailing his father totake him to the big city, Alexandria, which in its passion and semi-literacy could be texted by any youngster today. There's the usual fascinating minutiae of lives being lived. For some unexplained reason there's no fifth century papyri in this volume, only the first four centuries AD and the sixth. This lets one see the difference between the sixth and the first four, basically Christianity. There are monks, and one god, and more flowery language and more laudatory invocation of the emperor though the emperors aren't any more directly relevant to the lives of the people, who are directly involved with their representatives, praefects and such, and the lesser officials. The emperors are there to ensure quotidian life does go on as it is assumed it will, more or less the same, though in the West Rome fell in the fifth century.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-03-29 00:00:00 Susan Ashner A very short but incredibly insightful text on management. This book does tells the story of how Jack Welch turned G.E. into a business powerhouse, explaining how he did it. The takeaways that come to mind are removing wasteful bureaucracy, empowering every worker and harnessing everyone's ideas, only sticking in industries where you can be either number 1 or 2, and not letting the past dictate the future. Welch wasn't afraid to change something that wasn't broken, and in doing so, he made a great thing even better. On a more personal level, I really enjoyed thinking about these lessons as applied to my own life: focus only on what is important and gives you the most outcome. Don't waste time on things that never really get you anything. I found that when I looked at my life in that light, I found a lot of unnecessary things in it that were stealing time and not adding benefit.
