New York, NY (May 2, 2018) — Celebrating Entrepreneurship: A Half-Century of MIT's Growth and Impact is a firsthand account of the past, present, and future of entrepreneurship at MIT from Edward B. Roberts, the man who has led those endeavors since the beginning. Roberts has created a three-part history of the seminal role of MIT’s faculty and alumni in: (1) transforming entrepreneurship into a discipline worthy of rigorous academic study; (2) forming and building the many organizations that constitute the “MIT entrepreneurial ecosystem”; and (3) founding and investing in thousands of startup companies, while pioneering new industries. Celebrating Entrepreneurship showcases how the unique atmosphere at MIT, encapsulated in its motto mens et manus, encourages its innovators to thrive: a dedication to both technological advances from within MIT’s laboratories — the mind — and the means to actualize their vision — the hand.
About the Author: Edward B. Roberts is the David Sarnoff Professor of Management of Technology at the MIT Sloan School of Management. His scholarship focuses on advanced technology management and entrepreneurship, and he founded and chairs the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship. His nine previous books include Entrepreneurs in High-Technology, the first research-based book on technologybased entrepreneurship.

New York, NY (April 12, 2018) — Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory announced the publication of the 45th Anniversary Edition of The Legal Imagination with a new foreword by the author James Boyd White, available for purchase at wklegaledu.com.
First published in 1973, The Legal Imagination helped pioneer the law and literature movement, by breaking convention and urging students to understand the law beyond memorization, “to trust and follow their curiosity” and to come to terms with the nature and potential limits of legal language.
In this anniversary edition, the new foreword introduces the original unabridged text, and challenges a new generation of readers to understand the language of the law through the prism of literature. "This wonderful book helped me learn what it means to be a teacher,” says Mark Weisberg, Professor of Law Emeritus, Queen’s University. “I have learned to listen more than speak and to focus on helping each student discover their unique gift and bring them to their work. This book changed my students’ lives and my own.”
White encourages the reader to analyze legal and non-legal literature, including excerpts from Robert Frost, Plato, James Joyce, Albert Camus, Leo Tolstoy, and Emily Dickinson. By juxtaposing examples of legal writing alongside poetry, philosophy, and literary criticism, White frames thought-provoking discussions on topics that intersect both legal and non-legal discourse.
About the Author: James Boyd White is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. During his teaching career, he was the Hart Wright Professor of Law, Professor of English, and Adjunct Professor of Classics at the University of Michigan. Among his books on law and the humanities are Living Speech, Justice as Translation, and When Words Lose Their Meaning.

The three-day event, held at the J.W. Marriot hotel in Austin, Texas, was attended by over 675 university press representatives, staff members, and service providers.
Dan Rather, journalist and former CBS Evening News anchor, delivered this year’s keynote address. His impassioned speech touched upon the increasingly important role of publishers in upholding journalistic integrity. Mr. Rather emphasized the unique position of UPs to shape academic narrative.
The conference also featured a wide array of panels and discussions, many of which focused on the challenges of modern university press publishing. Editorial directors offered listeners fascinating insights into the innovative ways that many presses are working and growing despite the ongoing trend of budget cuts.
“While the mission of university presses essentially remains the same,” noted Troy Froebe, CEO, who was in attendance, “the ways in which they are achieving their goals is in transition. We feel like we are poised to help with this transition.”

San Francisco, CA (January 7, 2017) — The Froebe Group was a proud sponsor at this year’s Annual Meeting of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS), held at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square. The event was attended by over 2,500 law professors, faculty, and legal service providers.
The three-day conference theme was “Why Law Matters.” AALS president Kellye Testy noted that now, more than ever, the case needs to be made for why law matters in American society. It is urgent and important that the academy has a clear conviction of its mission — especially in the current environment where many aspects of law are troubled. John Cribbet, then dean of the University of Illinois College of Law, wrote in a 1974 article that this is the “silent raison d’etre of legal education and the lasting claim for public and private support of the law schools.”
The conference featured over 250 discussion panels on hot-button topics such as the current state of policing and the future of transgender student rights legislation. It also presented attendees with a variety of formal and informal networking opportunities.
"We work closely throughout the year with the Wolters Kluwer legal education team," noted Tom Daughhetee, Director of Production at TFG. "Having this conference during the first week of January presents us with an amazing event where we can celebrate the success of the past year with our client, while also planning ahead for the year to come."

“With so many authors located nearby from our key account of Wolters Kluwer, establishing a footprint in California seemed like a natural decision,” commented Kathy Langone, Director of Development. “Maintaining strong relationships with the authors of our partner has always been a core tenet. The new office also promotes greater communication and collaboration with our New York office."
Troy Froebe, CEO, added, "Although Los Angeles isn't commonly considered a publishing hub, it has a rich tradition of groundbreaking writers in both traditional and academic publishing. We are fans of many mainstream and eclectic California publishers like ABC-CLIO, the University of California Press, Sage Publishing, Santa Monica Press, and TASCHEN America. We hope that our presence out here will allow us to establish connections with some of these inspiring publishers."
