Expanded Choreographies - Choreographic Histories
From objects to sounds, choreography is expanding beyond dance and human bodies in motion. This book offers one of the rare systematic investigations of expanded choreography as it develops in contemporaneity, and is the first to consider expanded choreography from a trans-historical perspective. Through case studies on different periods of European dance history - ranging from Renaissance dance to William Forsythe's choreographic objects and from Baroque court ballets to digital choreographies - it traces a journey of choreography as a practice transcending its sole association with dancing, moving, human bodies.
A Bride in the Bargain
In 1860s Seattle, a man with a wife could secure himself 640 acres of timberland. But because of his wife's untimely death, Joe Denton finds himself about to lose half of his claim. Still in mourning, his best solution is to buy one of those Mercer girls arriving from the East. A woman he'll marry in name but keep around mostly as a cook. Anna Ivey's journey west with Asa Mercer's girls is an escape from the griefs of her past. She's not supposed to be a bride, though, just a cook for the girls. But when they land, she's handed to Joe Denton and the two find themselves in a knotty situation. She refuses to wed him and he's about to lose his land. With only a few months left, can Joe convince this provoking--but beguiling--easterner to be his bride?
Contemporary Readings in Social Problems
Companion reader to Anna Leon-Guerrero's Social Problems - 2nd Edition.
Chef of the Parkhaus
This book is listed "G" to get it onto the menu; Lulu requires registration to see adult-themed items. But the book is a "R"-rated item with some very adult themes. The intended audience is not children. It is the story of Leon LeGros, a young man who sought fortune in the South Pacific. Leon, today a resident of Luxembourg, led an extraordinary life, as a chef, as a cook in the mining camps of the Solomon Islands and Australia, where he matured before returning to Europe and a more responsible life. Today, he is a parking lot attendant, a sacrifice for the one to whom he has dedicated this book. In the process of getting there, Leon has lived several lifetimes of adventure that far exceed anything many of us have experienced. There is eroticism in the book, though it is not salacious. This book was not written to titillate; but to document the life of an extraordinary man, warts and all, and to talk about how his life has changed in more than five decades.

At the Fire's Center
THIS is the story of a promise kept against all odds: a promise four friends made to each other that they would always be together. Like his boyhood friend Paul Ornstein, Steve Hornstein had dreams of becoming a doctor, even though admission to Hungarian universities was all but closed to Jews. Both managed to pursue their educations in Budapest and never lost hope of realizing their dreams, even when the Germans invaded Hungary in March 1944. Both were consigned to forced-labor camps; both escaped and endured the terror of life on the run. Anna Brunn grew up in a small village in Hungary and met Paul in 1941. They saw each other only a few times before the war intervened, but Paul had every...
