My first book, Hastening Toward Prague: Power and Society in the Medieval Czech Lands (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2001), anatomizes the structure and dynamics of power in eleventh- and twelfth-century Bohemia.  It is also the only comprehensive treatment of the Czech Lands in this period available in English.

My English translation of the twelfth-century Chronicle of the Czechs by Cosmas of Prague will appear in 2009 from Catholic University of America Press. I am currently at work on a companion monograph to the translation entitled Cosmas of Prague and the Birth of a National History.

I am also writing, with Ian McNeely, Reinventing Knowledge: From Alexandria to the Internet, to be published by W.W. Norton & Co. in Summer 2008.
