Offers a rare insight into the closed world of medieval Eastern Europe and opens up a neglected archaeological tradition to English-speaking readers. Sections focus on early European ethnic formations and states, the demography of medieval populations and the nature of rural settlement and urban development. The book challenges the intellectual assumptions of medieval archaeology and questions its relationship to history and prehistory. It exposes the limitations of a strictly empirical approach to studying the period when written history began and the early medieval states emerged.

Human services management occurs in nonprofit, governmental, and for-profit sectors and involves a wide variety of organizational structures. These diverse conditions shape the effort to produce and project services that directly affect the quality of life of individuals, families, and communities through social welfare, health and mental health, criminal justice, and educational services. David Austin begins with an examination of the historical development and distinctive characteristics of human service organizations, the variety of organizational and program structures at play, and the connection of individual service organizations with service delivery networks. He then examines of the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholder constituencies, including service users, service personnel (especially service professionals), funders, executives, and policy boards. The final two chapters discuss two organizational processes: accountability for effectiveness and dealing with organizational changes.

What is the relationship between poetry and social change?Standing at the forefront of political poetry since the 1970s, Linton Kwesi Johnson has been fighting neo-fascism, police violence and promoting socialism while putting pen to paper to refute W.H. Auden's claim that 'poetry makes nothing happen'. For Johnson, only the second living poet to have been published in the Penguin Modern Classics series, writing has always been 'a political act' and poetry 'a cultural weapon'.In Dread Poetry and Freedom - the first book dedicated to the work of this 'political poet par excellence' - David Austin explores the themes of poetry, political consciousness and social transformation through the prism of Johnson's work. Drawing from the Bible, reggae and Rastafari, and surrealism, socialism and feminism, and in dialogue with Aime Cesaire and Frantz Fanon, C.L.R. James and Walter Rodney, and W.E.B. Du Bois and the poetry of d'bi young anitafrika, Johnson's work becomes a crucial point of reflection on the meaning of freedom in this masterful and rich study.In the process, Austin demonstrates why art, and particularly poetry, is a vital part of our efforts to achieve genuine social change in times of dread.

C.L.R. James was one of the twentieth century's great minds. A true polymath, he made profound intellectual contributions in the areas of political philosophy, history, sports, literature, literary criticism, and cultural studies. In this critical introduction, David Austin examines James's core ideas and traces his unique perspective to his roots in the Caribbean.James is best known for his classic study of revolution, The Black Jacobins and Beyond a Boundary, one of the great books written about sport. He also wrote a groundbreaking novel, Minty Alley, but of all his writing, he considered his study of socialist self-organization, Notes on Dialectics: Hegel, Marx, Lenin his most important work. James was also at the center of the international socialist and anti-imperialist movements in London in the 1930s and his work played an important role in African and Caribbean anticolonial movements in the 1950 and 1960s.Today his writing on American popular culture and the potential for totalitarianism in the U.S. (American Civilization and Mariners, Renegades, and Castaways: The Story of Herman Melville and the World We Live In) couldn't be timelier. And in all his work, he expressed his belief in the capacity of so-called ordinary people to achieve the extraordinary.
