    Dear SIM Colleagues,
    I hope that your summer is off to a happy and healthy start. I am excited to announce that on July 12th, Routledge Press will publish my first book, "Conversations About Calling: Advancing Management Perspectives." It is an interdisciplinary analysis of the definition of calling, how it has changed over centuries, and the practical implications of those shifts for human resource management, organizations, individuals and society. As such, it is relevant to management scholars, consultants, psychologists, career counselors, leaders/managers, clergy and anyone who is interested in meanings of work, work ethics and calling. Findings in the book are congruent with this year's AOM theme: Capitalism in Question.
