The Merchant of Venice
This volume, while it raises all the questions appertaining to the cultural, historical and critical contexts of the play, has as its primary focus the play as theatrical performance. This focus is not taken in isolation, but observed in terms of all the social, material and practical aspects of theatrical production. The questions raised are those that face actors, stage managers and directors, scenic and costume designers, in the rehearsal room and on the stage.
Nobody's Victim
Drawing on a wide range of current research and experience from his own practice as well as Eastern and Western philosophy, McCullough makes a case that loneliness, anxiety, and sadness are appropriate responses to the difficulties of life and are necessary for emotional growth. He encourages those caught in the victim role to reaffirm their interconnectedness with their communities and to reclaim a sense of personal responsibility for the choices they make.
Managing Your Anxiety
When normal anxiety goes out of control, its victims suffer panic attacks and phobias that can take the joy out of life. Dr. McCullough, a specialist in the treatment of anxiety, offers a comprehensive self-care program that stops the suffering. Includes questionnaires, exercises, relaxation techniques, and more.
Nobody's Victim
"Dr. Christopher McCullough explains in this compassionate and enlightening look at the phenomenon that has created what some have dubbed a "nation of victims," calling ourselves victims ultimately does more harm than good. With telling examples from his years of private practice, Dr. McCullough shows that rather than helping us find satisfying answers to life's ultimate issues, therapy and recovery programs, under the guise of alleviating pain, actually reinforce our inadequacies, supporting the larger social myth: "If you suffer in some way, there is something wrong with you." Psychotherapy's fascination with labels, McCullough asserts, falsely assigns disorders where none exist, pathologi...

Theatre Praxis
This collection of essays is in no way an attempt to instruct people in ways to teach Drama. Nor is it homogeneous in its range of arguments. What is attempted is a lively discourse on a variety of practices that, by recognising their clearly rooted and often diverse ideologies, we may term praxis. The challenge here is that no practice may claim an ideological innocence, appealing to some vague transcendental natural state of existence. One of the problems when we encounter practical work in the context of the university Drama department is its uneasy relationship with the more conventionally accepted disciplines. Often the answer has been in the form of a retreat into subjectivity and mystery; denying the place of practice in the material world. Each of the essays in this volume challenges that perception, but all of them challenge it in very different ways. What they do have in common is a rejection of the idea that learning is a passive activity.
Theatre Praxis
In the founding of the first drama department in a Britsih university almost fifty years ago, a debate was instituted regarding the nature of the discipline. Was the discipline academic in a conventional sesne? Where did practical theatre making fit into the curriculum? If there was to be theatre practice, how was it different from the work already undertaken by the drama conservatoires? Theatre Praxis addresses the debate beyond these now familiar questions, seeking to define practice in terms of praxis ; that is, practical work that does not claim an ideological neutrality, but seeks to theorize practice as praxis ; that is, a practice that recognizes its potential for change.

Always at Ease

Truman
The Pulitzer Prize–winning biography of Harry S. Truman, whose presidency included momentous events from the atomic bombing of Japan to the outbreak of the Cold War and the Korean War, told by America’s beloved and distinguished historian. The life of Harry S. Truman is one of the greatest of American stories, filled with vivid characters—Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, Eleanor Roosevelt, Bess Wallace Truman, George Marshall, Joe McCarthy, and Dean Acheson—and dramatic events. In this riveting biography, acclaimed historian David McCullough not only captures the man—a more complex, informed, and determined man than ever before imagined—but also the turbulent times in which he rose,...
