From Round to Square (and back)

For The Emperor's Teacher, scroll down (↓) to "Topics." It's the management book that will rock the world (and break the vase, as you will see). Click or paste the following link for a recent profile of the project: http://magazine.beloit.edu/?story_id=240813&issue_id=240610

A new post appears every day at 12:05* (CDT). There's more, though. Take a look at the right-hand side of the page for over four years of material (2,000 posts and growing) from Seinfeld and country music to every single day of the Chinese lunar calendar...translated. Look here ↓ and explore a little. It will take you all the way down the page...from round to square (and back again).
*Occasionally I will leave a long post up for thirty-six hours, and post a shorter entry at noon the next day.

I don't know who you are, 
but I will find you...[1]

...and tell you that I have been occupied for all of my academic life by study and admiration for the Annales school of historiography. Oh, yes, it's French.

Some say it is soooo "twentieth century." They are correct, of course, but that doesn't change its endlessly fascinating production and the scores of brilliant scholars who sought to understand "the past" in a profoundly different way than before.
