Theatres of War
Theatres of War is the first full-length study to be devoted to the 'Committed' theatre that flourished in modern France from 1944 to the mid-1950s. During this crucial decade, authors such as Sartre, de Beauvoir and Camus, along with other lesser-known dramatists, responded to the issues of their time by contributing a number of tense controversial plays to a distinctive genre of realist theatre. These plays dealt with the ideological, political and moral issues arising from the Second World War, the Cold War and a series of disastrous colonial wars. Theatres of War combines historical contextualisation, pointing up the political and moral debate of the theatre of the period, with detailed analysis of specific plays, making it a useful student text. All quotations are in French with English translations immediately following.
Antigone
The play follows the plot of Sophocles' Antigone - Contains one of the monologues for Year 12 Theatre Studies, 2001.
Acquiring Wisdom
Acquiring Wisdom is not an ordinary book. You can read the words, wonder about why certain stories and exerts are placed in one spot or another, and then close the book; and suddenly it all becomes clear. These are the Lord's words transformed by a man whom the Lord has called to make certain words, ideas, and instructions clear to us all. Pray, read, meditate, and acquire wisdom.
Fallen Astronauts
Near the end of the Apollo 15 mission, David Scott and fellow moonwalker James Irwin conducted a secret ceremony unsanctioned by NASA: they placed on the lunar soil a small tin figurine called The Fallen Astronaut, along with a plaque bearing a list of names. By telling the stories of those sixteen astronauts and cosmonauts who died in the quest to reach the moon between 1962 and 1972, this book enriches the saga of humankind’s greatest scientific undertaking, Project Apollo, and conveys the human cost of the space race.

Brick in the Wall
Little is known about the true mechanics of international illegal activities. There is even less known about the thinking of people involved in them. The stories described in the book are real stories despite their likeness to a criminal movie. The illegal organization, which is based in Los Angeles and has tentacles around the world, is not put on the scales of good and bad in this book. Its intriguing moves are simply observed and recorded for the benefit of the reader, who puts more value on action and truth than on morality. The multifaceted illegal activities are described with a tongue-in-cheek tone, even when life and death are involved. This book is intended for those who have conquered an independent kind of thinking and are mature enough to know that the world has more colors than black and white. On the other hand, it is real fun for the genuine adventure lover.
