Prometheus is proud to continue its tradition of reviewing the literature in the fields it covers. A book review essays is longer and more expansive than a conventional book review, allowing the reviewer to set a book in wide context. The value of a book review lies largely in the opinion expressed and peer review is not appropriate.
Suggestions for books to review in Prometheus, and offers to review books should be sent to Steven Umbrello, the Prometheus book review editor, at stevenumbrello@yahoo.com.
Prometheus
Zeus, the most powerful of the Greek gods, was enraged when Prometheus revealed to mankind the secret of making fire. The punishment of Prometheus the titan was to be chained to a rock where an eagle would devour his liver by day. By night, his liver would regenerate in preparation for the following day’s pecking.
Nor does Prometheus the journal expect much thanks for spreading knowledge about
innovation. Since its launch in 1983, Prometheus has pushed against the boundaries
surrounding the understanding of innovation, in its broadest sense. It has met some resistance. Prometheus is no stranger to controversy, nor to the consequences of defying convention.
