The Living Art of Greek Tragedy
Marianne McDonald brings together her training as a scholar of classical Greek with her vast experience in theatre and drama to help students of the classics and of theatre learn about the living performance tradition of Greek tragedy. The Living Art of Greek Tragedy is indispensable for anyone interested in performing Greek drama, and McDonald's engaging descriptions offer the necessary background to all those who desire to know more about the ancient world. With a chapter on each of the three major Greek tragedians (Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides), McDonald provides a balance of textual analysis, practical knowledge of the theatre, and an experienced look at the difficulties and accomplishments of theatrical performances. She shows how ancient Greek tragedy, long a part of the standard repertoire of theatre companies throughout the world, remains fresh and alive for contemporary audiences.
Leadershock... and How to Triumph Over It
At every level, from newly-minted supervisors to seasoned CEOs, today's managers are finding themselves ill-equipped to deal with the current business climate. Fueled by an economy in recession after nearly a decade of prosperity, by new concerns about crisis management in the wake of world events, by the collapse of dot.coms and the fading myth of the New Economy, today's managers are confused and uncertain - even fearful -- about what to do and how to lead. In a word, they are in shock. Changing times call for an entirely new set of principles for leadership, says Hicks. Following the proven methodology he and co-author Rick Foster adopted to create How We Choose to be Happy, Hicks has set out to redefine what it takes to be an effective leader in today's uncertain business climate. He has interviewed 200 managers across all industries and at all levels who have proven themselves uniquely adaptable and capable of successful leadership in tough times and under difficult circumstances. From them, he has distilled eight refreshing and often surprising principles for effective management and leadership, using case studies from his research as examples.

The Routledge Companion to Actors' Shakespeare
The Routledge Companion to Actors' Shakespeare is a window onto how today's actors contribute to the continuing life and relevance of Shakespeare's plays. The process of acting is notoriously hard to document, but this volume reaches behind famous performances to examine the actors' craft, their development and how they engage with playtexts. Each chapter relies upon privilieged access to its subject to offer an unparalleled insight into contemporary practice. This volume explores the techniques, interpretive approaches and performance styles of the following actors: Simon Russell Beale, Sinead Cusack, Judi Dench, Kate Duchene, Colm Feore, Mariah Gale, John Harrell, Greg Hicks, Rory Kinnear, Kevin Kline, Adrian Lester, Marcelo Magni, Ian McKellen, Patrice Naiambana, Vanessa Redgrave, Piotr Semak, Anthony Sher, Jonathan Slinger, Kate Valk, Harriet Walter This twin volume to The Routledge Companion to Directors' Shakespeare is an essential work for both actors and students of Shakespeare.

An Independent View of The Donald J Trump Presidency
In the last four years, I have been seeking answers as to why our country is so deeply divided. Are we being fooled by those whom we rely on to deliver the truth about what is happening within America? I believe that our government has failed us by allowing those with ulterior motives to influence our hearts and minds by commercially controlling our free enterprise system of democracy. This book takes a chronological look at the inner workings of our government, leading up and into Donald Trump's administration, which has made him the most controversial president of my lifetime. He has created a following that is every bit as fanatical about our government as he has been in the way he has sh...
Beyond O'Dark 30
Beyond O' Dark 30 is the author's take on what is happening to this country. This promised land has fallen apart due to our loss of foreign policy and the degrading of our military. Our allies are laughing as our leader is both weak and a failure. Our national debt has increased more than ever and for what? Polls now show that a majority of people think Romney would have made the better president. We are vulnerable to another terrorist attack, Syria has already launched chemical weapons, and no one understands Obamacare. Why does Benghazi go unnoticed in the White House? The many scandals of the IRS and the National Security Agency affect every American. Do you believe the President was real...
Shakespeare Without Boundaries
Shakespeare without Boundaries: Essays in Honor of Dieter Mehl offers a wide-ranging collection of essays written by an international team of distinguished scholars who attempt to define, to challenge, and to erode boundaries that currently inhibitunderstanding of Shakespeare, and to exemplify how approaches that defy traditional bounds of study and criticism may enhance understanding and enjoyment of a dramatist who acknowledged no boundaries in art. The Volume is published in tribute to Professor Dieter Mehl, whose critical and scholarly work on authors from Chaucer through Shakespeare to D. H. Lawrence has transcended temporal and national boundaries in its range and scope, and who, as Ann Jennalie Cook writes, has contributed significantly tothe erasure of political boundaries that have endangered the unity of German literary scholarship and, more broadly, through his work for the International Shakespeare Association, to the globalization of Shakespeare studies.
Christopher Marlowe, Renaissance Dramatist
This book offers a lively introduction to all of the plays of Christopher Marlowe and to the central concerns of his age, many of which are still important to us--religious uncertainty, the clash between Islam and Christianity, ideas of sexuality, and the role of the marginalised inidividual in society.Each chapter focuses on a specific aspect of Marlowe's work and its cultural contexts: Marlowe's life and death; the Marlowe canon; the theatrical contexts and stage history of the plays; Marlowe's interest in old and new branches of knowledge; the ways in which he transgresses against established norms and values; and the major issues which have been raised in critical discussions of his plays.
