Thorougly revised, second edition of one of the most successful theatre books ever published by NHB - a definitive guide to acting.

Now republished in an extensively revised new edition, it has sold almost 4,000 copies in the home market alone since first publication in October 2002.

An Actor Prepares is the most important acting manual ever written and one that has influenced actors from James Dean to Marlon Brando. This new edition in the Bloomsbury Revelations series will mark the 150th anniversary of Stanislavskis birth.

A master teacher gives actors everywhere the benefit of his vast experience, helping them to build up a solid foundation of skills they can use to create characters with truthful and compelling inner lives.

Translated by Jean Benedetti, this is a classic treatise on acting.

Luke wrote the book of Acts as a testament to the explosive spread of the gospel and the rapid growth of the church after Christ s ascension. Beginning with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost when the church was born, he shows how Christ empowered His followers with divine authority to preach the gospel to all nations. Luke also shows how, even in the midst of persecution and opposition, the early believers were able to rely on God s spirit for direction and continue with the work He had given them to do. God showed His infinite power regardless of the circumstances, just as He continues to do today. The MacArthur Bible Studies provide intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture. Each guide incorporates extensive commentary, detailed observations on overriding themes, and probing questions to help you study the Word of God with guidance from John MacArthur."

'Hettie Judah’s enthralling and important book expands a male-centred art history to include mothers as subjects and symbols, makers and myths' Jennifer Higgie 'One of the most electrifying and important books I have ever read. Hettie Judah takes us on a rich, comprehensive, generative, beautifully written journey through the works of art that have made the invisibility of real motherhood and maternal subjectivity visible. Every sentence and work crackles and sparks.I didn't want it to end. Stunning, urgent and extremely inspiring. We all need this book' Lucy Jones, author of Matrescence 'An important and eye-opening book grounded in Judah's extensive experience and research.I knew some artists in this book already, but didn't know many others, and this is a book I will keep close and refer to time and time again. As a writer and as a mother, this is personal too. It is time motherhood comes out of the margins and we see, hear and talk about the extensive invisible labour, joy, pain of mothering.This book is a much-needed addition to the canon' Dr Pragya Agarwal Exploring maternity through the work of artists from prehistory to the present day, Acts of Creation addresses the abiding mother-shaped hole in art history. Long taboo, lived experiences of motherhood – and all that accompanies it – are now the subject of urgent discussion. Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood delves into the joys and heartaches, mess, myths and mishaps of motherhood through over 150 artworks, from ancient goddess artifacts to contemporary interpretations of pregnancy in the present.While the Madonna and Child archetype has dominated Western art, we rarely encounter art about real motherhood, in all its raw, unfiltered complexity. Renowned author and curator Hettie Judah examines how shifting ideals of motherhood have been constructed and promoted through visual culture. Moving into the 20th and 21st centuries, it also looks at how women artists – among them Barbara Hepworth, Jenny Saville, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Betye Saar, Suzanne Valadon, Louise Bourgeois, Carrie Mae Weems – have worked to subvert these ideals and reclaim the narrative.Women have long been told that they cannot be both an artist and a mother: here the artist mother is instead addressed as an important cultural paradigm. Acts of Creation explores lived experience of motherhood – and of not becoming a mother – offering a complex account that engages with ongoing concerns around gender, caregiving and reproductive rights. Published to coincide with the acclaimed Hayward Gallery touring exhibition of the same name, Acts of Creation is an engaging, thought-provoking and richly illustrated must-read on the evolving discourse on motherhood, offering a fresh perspective that challenges conventions and inspires change.

A "bold and unflinchingly sexy” (Vogue) debut novel about a young woman who follows her desires into a world of pleasure, decadence, and privilege, unraveling everything she thought she knew about sex . . . and herself. "One of the most entertaining books about sex I’ve ever read . . . The perfect read for fans of Raven Leilani and Ottessa Moshfegh, this is a book that will have people talking.”—BuzzFeed"A sex masterpiece.”—The GuardianA Kaia Gerber Book Club Pick • Named One of the Best Books of the Year by The New Yorker and The Hollywood Reporter"Anytime I want, I can forsake this dinner party and jump into real life.”—Eve BabitzEve has an adoring girlfriend, an impulsive streak, and a secret fear that she’s wasting her brief youth with just one person. So one evening she posts some nudes online. This is how Eve meets Olivia, and through Olivia the charismatic Nathan. Despite her better instincts, the three soon begin a relationship—one that disturbs Eve as much as it enthralls her. As each act of their complicated, three-way affair unfolds across a cold and glittering New York, Eve is forced to confront the questions that most consume her: What do we bring to sex? What does it reveal of ourselves, and one another? And how do we reconcile what we want with what we think we should want? In the way only great fiction can, Acts of Service takes between its teeth the contradictions written all over our ideas of sex and sexuality. At once juicy and intellectually challenging, sacred and profane, Lillian Fishman’s riveting debut is bold, unabashed, and required reading of the most pleasurable sort.

One of the most acclaimed, in-demand superstars of comedy (Jason Zinoman, The New York Times) Taylor Tomlinson explores all the things shes changed her mind about, from the serious to the absurd, in her hilarious, heartfelt, and brilliant debut.As she approaches thirty-fourthe same age her mother, Angela, was at her deathTomlinson grapples with fear and ambition, identity and doubt, and all the ways her mind has changed since the day her mom died. In these sharply observed, uproariously funny, and moving original essays, Tomlinson leads readers through a tour of her brain and her shifting opinions about everything from love and relationships, mental health and therapy, religion and sex, food and body image, being the eldest daughter and the only woman in late-night TV, to ghosts, morning people, and more. With the same unflinching honesty that fuels her beloved stand-up specials, she captures the dizzying contradictions of adulthood in the modern world: wanting independence while craving reassurance, chasing self-improvement while resisting change, and finally learning that certainty can be overrated. True wisdom, writes Tomlinson, is accepting how little you know, and real maturity is becoming as flexible as possible. (Emotionally, not physically. Real maturity also means needing to stretch way more). A fearless (NPR) comedian who makes even the heaviest subjects seem spikily funny (Jason Zinoman, The New York Times), Tomlinson now brings her natural storytelling gifts and incisive wit to the page in Actually, Nevermind.

Actually, Nevermind is a collection of sharply funny, deeply honest essays from comedian Taylor Tomlinson, on the art of changing your mind. From once holding black-and-white beliefs shaped by a strict religious upbringing and early grief, to now embracing the glorious mess of nuance, Taylor charts her evolving worldview - both the profound and the ridiculous. With self-deprecating humour and flashes of wisdom, she reflects on everything she used to be certain of (and now isn"t), offering a candid take on growing up, staying flexible, and giving yourself permission to rethink everything. In a world full of noise, this book is a warm, witty balm for anyone trying to figure it out... again.

Full introduction to this ancient art of healing. Simple techniques made clear in a 5-minute routine.

Acupressure is so much more than simply pressing on a point. It is a comprehensive system for treating the body as a whole. When clients come to us with pain in a specific region, more often than not we focus on the part and forget about the whole. Most therapists treat shoulder pain by working just on the shoulder, which makes sense, but through the lens of acupressure and meridian massage, we see there often is more to a successful treatment than that. Seen through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the body is an interconnected whole. Understanding how it is connected, both physically and energetically, and being familiar with the pathways of connection, is fundamental. Acupressure and Meridian Massage guides practitioners through the connections of the body by combining ancient wisdom and modern science to provide a comprehensive system of assessment and treatment leading to long-lasting and improved results.
