The image in the article is of Avram Petrovich Gannibal. It comes up in Google image searches on Amo. I've written to Google a few times to get them to correct this. No luck so far. There are no confirmed images of Amo in existence.

Wow. In many respects that’s not surprising. But I certainly wouldn’t have caught it. Amo is someone I know very little about, and that’s something I hope to rectify.

Let me know if you want to see the draft translation and long biographical intro I've written with Stephen Menn for our forthcoming, A. W. Amo: Selected Writings. Will be happy to send it.

Yes I think I read about this great hiring decision somewhere, and yes, it will be great to meet at some point on one side of the ocean or the other.
