Sloppy Craft: Postdisciplinarity and the Crafts brings together leading international artists and critics to explore the possibilities and limitations of the idea of 'sloppy craft' – craft that is messy or unfinished looking in its execution or appearance, or both. The contributors address 'sloppiness' in contemporary art and craft practices including painting, weaving, sewing and ceramics, consider the importance of traditional concepts of skill, and the implications of sloppiness for a new 21st century emphasis on inter- and postdisciplinarity, as well as for activist, performance, queer and Aboriginal practices. In addition to critical essays, the book includes a 'conversation' section in which contemporary artists and practitioners discuss challenges and opportunities of 'sloppy craft' in their practice and teaching, and an afterword by Glenn Adamson.
Stanislavski’s ‘system’ has dominated actor-training in the West since his writings were first translated into English in the 1920s and 30s. His systematic attempt to outline a psycho-physical technique for acting single-handedly revolutionized standards of acting in the theatre. Until now, readers and students have had to contend with inaccurate, misleading and difficult-to-read English-language versions. Some of the mistranslations have resulted in profound distortions in the way his system has been interpreted and taught. At last, Jean Benedetti has succeeded in translating Stanislavski’s huge manual into a lively, fascinating and accurate text in English. He has remained faithful to the author's original intentions, putting the two books previously known as An Actor Prepares and Building A Character back together into one volume, and in a colloquial and readable style for today's actors. The result is a major contribution to the theatre, and a service to one of the great innovators of the twentieth century. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by the director Richard Eyre.
The first leadership book of its kind, written by a mariner specifically for commercial shipping.
Aeroelasticity refers to the science of the interaction between aerodynamic, inertial and elastic effects. Aeroelastic effects occur everywhere but are more or less critical. Any phenomenon that involves a structural response to a fluid action requires aeroelastic consideration. In many cases, when a large and flexible structure is submitted to a high intensity variable flow, the deformations can be very important and become dangerous. With the emphasis on higher performance, modern aircraft designs aim at lower structural weight, aerodynamically efficient thinner configurations, and reduced or even negative stability margins augmented by automatic flight control systems. These design consid...

The Straight A Handbook was written out of a love for learning, scholastic achievement, professional success and personal development.
