Some Like it Cold
Across the icy plains of the Arctic and through the glacial wastelands of the Antarctic, Neville Shulman embarks on two exciting journeys to achieve his dream of reaching both the North and South Poles. Travelling through the Arctic as part of a small Tate Gallery team, Shulman first traces the footsteps of the international artist Andy Goldsworthy, eventually meeting him at the North Pole to witness his unique polar sculpture.

Climbing the Equator
Creatures from another time, volcanic mountains five million years old, Indian tribes surviving from the pre-Inca period, jungles and rainforests: Ecuador has all this and more. Only in its Galapagos Islands did Charles Darwin discover such a variety of extraordinary fauna that on his return to England he wrote his groundbreaking On the Origin of Species. With a philosophical yet humourous approach, Neville Shulman provides an in-depth background to Ecuador and its diverse peoples and tells intriguing stories of spectacular creatures and exotic flora, many not found anywhere else in the world.
Zen Explorations in Remotest New Guinea
The author of Zen in the Art of Climbing Mountains (Tuttle) is back with the fascinating, at times harrowing account of his expedition to scale the two highest peaks in Australasia, Ngga Pulu and Carstensz Pyramid. On his way up, the author meets the extraordinary and primitive Stone Age Dani people, whose way of life has remained unchanged for thousands of years. This is an exciting, informative and (at times) humorous book, full of intriguing insights and the Zen philosophy the author carries with him to understand and overcome the many dangers he encounters on this incredible journey.

Drama In Performance
Raymond Williams' reputation rests mainly on his contribution to literary and cultural studies, but he was also an important critic and theoretician in the field of drama. "Drama in Performance", first published in 1954, pioneered a method of dramaturgical rather than literary-critical analysis of plays, locating dramatic texts in the conditions and conventions of their original performance and reading them to disclose their performance potentialities. This method, which anticipated such contemporary developments as performance analysis and the semiotics of drama, is here applied to representative texts from key periods of the history of drama: the Greek stage, the medieval theatre-in-the-ro...
