"Futures of Performance inspires both current and future artists/academics to reflect on their roles and responsibilities in igniting future-forward thinking and practices for the performing arts in higher education. The book presents a breadth of new perspectives from the disciplines of music, dance, theatre, and mediated performance and from a range of institutional contexts. Chapters from teachers across the various contexts of the US higher education system are organized according to the three main areas of responsibilities of performing arts education: to academia, to society, and to the field as a whole. With the intention of illuminating the intricacy of how performing arts are situated and function in higher education, the book addresses key questions including: How are the performing arts valued in higher education? How are programs addressing equity? What responsibilities do performing arts programs have to stakeholders inside and outside of the academy? What are programs' ethical obligations to students and how are how are those met? Futures of Performance examines these questions and offers models that can give us some of the potential answers. This is a crucial and timely resource for anyone in a decision-making position within the university performing arts sector, from administrators, to educators, to those in leadership positions"-- Futures of Performance inspires both current and future artists/academics to reflect on their roles and responsibilities in igniting future-forward thinking and practices for the performing arts in higher education.

A celebration of the printed book, told through the lives of 18 people who took it in radical new directions. * AN ECONOMIST BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 * A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE SUMMER 2024 * 'This really is the loveliest of books' I 'I cannot recommend it highly enough' SPECTATOR This is an extraordinary story of skill, craft, mess, cunning, triumph, improvisation, and error. Of printers and binders, publishers and artists, paper-makers and library founders. Some we know. We meet jobbing printer (and United States Founding Father) Benjamin Franklin, and watch Thomas Cobden-Sanderson conjure books that flicker between the 20th and 15th centuries. Others weve forgotten. We don't recall Sarah Eaves, wife of John Baskerville, and her crucial contribution to the history of type. Nor Charles Edward Mudie, populariser of the circulating library and the most influential figure in publishing before Jeff Bezos. Nor William Wildgoose, who meticulously bound Shakespeares First Folio, then disappeared. The Book-Makers puts people back into the story of the book. It takes us inside the print-shop as the deadline looms and the adrenaline flows from the Fleet Street of 1492 to present-day New York. Its a tale of contingencies and quirks, of successes and failures, of routes forward and paths not taken. This is a history of book-making that leaves ink on your fingers, and shows why the printed book will continue to flourish. Amazing. This book is a soul-expanding celebration of the human spirit MARTIN LATHAM, author of The Bookseller's Tale A brilliant time machine of a book JOSEPH HONE, author of The Book Forger Autorid: Adam Smyth

A lucid guide to humankind's greatest thinkers, from Aristotle to Peter Singer A primer in human existence: philosophy has rarely seemed so lucid, so important, so worth doing and so easy to enter into. . . . A wonderful introduction for anyone whos ever felt curious about almost anything.Sarah Bakewell, author of How To Live: A Life of Montaigne in One Question and Twenty Attempts at an Answer Philosophy begins with the nature of reality and how we should live.

This engaging Little History introduces the great thinkers in Western philosophy and explores their most compelling ideas about the universe and our place in it. Nigel Warburton guides us on a tour of the lives and work of thought-provoking philosophers from the certainty of Descartes (I think, therefore I am) to Hannah Arendt who examined crimes against humanity and taught us the banality of evil.

The Black Arrow, first serialized in 1883, was eventually published as a novel by Robert Louis Stevenson in 1888. Although it was initially written for children, and has since remained relatively undervalued by critics, The Black Arrow has garnered praise from such figures as John Galsworthy for its richly imagined setting and vibrant dialogue.Set in fifteenth-century England during the infamous War of the Roses, The Black Arrow follows the young Richard Dick Sheltons journey of growth and discovery in a time of violence and terror. When the outlaws known as The Black Arrow attack his home, a strange rhyme discovered at the scene leaves Dick curious as to the true nature of his fathers death. Sent to warn Sir Danielwho has been chosen to care for Tunstall until Dick comes of agethe hero meets the heiress Joanna. The two follow Sir Daniel back to Tunstall, where Dick discovers that his father was murdered by the man appointed to protect him. In order to get revenge, and to rescue Joanna from captivity, Dick joins the outlaws of The Black Arrow and is knighted for his service in battle to the Duke of Gloucester. A classic of adventure and romance, The Black Arrow is a novel in which a young man faces down danger in order to protect what he loves.Published amid what is arguably Stevensons most productive decade, The Black Arrow is often overshadowed by such works as Treasure Island and Kidnapped. What makes it worth reading, however, is its timeless tale of perseverance and growth that transports the reader to one of Englands darkest periods. It is both historical and romantic, a story for children and adults alike. To read Stevenson is to enter a world unlike any other, and yet so strangely familiar it might be our own.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this new edition of Robert Louis Stevensons The Black Arrow is a classic of literature reimagined for modern readers.

The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne (1789) is a novel by Ann Radcliffe. Published anonymously, Radcliffes debut novel is a tragic story of love and murder set in the sublime landscape of the Scottish Highlands. Considered an essential work of Gothic fiction, The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne is an early example of her prowess as a leading novelist of suspense and the supernatural. This pile was venerable from its antiquity, and from its Gothic structure; but more venerable from the virtues which it enclosed. It was the residence of the still beautiful widow, and the children of the noble Earl of Athlin, who was slain by the hand of Malcolm, a neighbouring chief, proud, oppressive, revengeful; and still residing in all the pomp of feudal greatness, within a few miles of the castle of Athlin. Raised in isolation in the high Castle of Athlin, Osbert and Mary have never known the rituals inherent to public life. As heirs to a once-mighty clan, they are haunted by the weight of their dead fathers legacy, shattered by his murderer Malcolm of Dunbayne. As sadness turns to rage, Osbert swears an oath to avenge his father, wandering off into the deep wilderness of the Highlands in search of men to aid him in his quest. Together with his clansmen and the peasant Alleyn, he launches an assault on Malcolms castle, risking everything to reclaim his honor. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Ann Radcliffes The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

A house seemingly disconnected in time and space becomes the setting for brutal conflict between the hapless homeowner and a collection of grotesque semi-human creatures in this landmark of fantasy and horror.The House on the Borderland is the account of a man, known only as the recluse, who moves into a remote and shunned house and unwittingly finds himself suspended between worlds, traveling through time, and fighting for his life against a siege of misshapen monstrosities. The authors sweeping imagination evokes a wide variety of fantastical effects, from eerie intimations of the weird to vivid manifestations of supernatural horror, from fabulous glimpses of otherworldly landscapes to direct combat with non-human assailants of murderous intent. First published in 1908, the novel quickly acquired a reputation as a rare and visionary example of cosmic horror that would influence and draw praise from H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Olaf Stapleton and others. As gripping and surreal as a fever dream, The House on the Borderland remains one of the most transporting destinations in literature.With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The House on the Borderland is both modern and readable.

As Angela Y. Davis has proposed, the path to prison, which so disproportionately affects communities of color, is most acutely guided by the conditions of daily life. Architecture, then, as fundamental to shaping these conditions of civil existence, must be interrogated for its involvement along this diffuse and mobile path. Paths to Prison: On the Architectures of Carcerality aims to expand the ways the built environments relationship to and participation in the carceral state is understood in architecture. The collected essays in this book implicate architecture in the more longstanding and pervasive legacies of racialized coercion in the United Statesand follow the premise that to understand how the prison enacts its violence in the present one must shift the epistemological frame elsewhere: to places, discourses, and narratives assumed to be outside of the sphere of incarceration. Paths to Prison: On the Architectures of Carcerality offers not a fixed or inexorable account of how things are but rather a set of starting points and methodologies for reevaluating the architecture of carceral society and for undoing it altogether. With contributions by Adrienne Brown, Stephen Dillon, Jarrett M. Drake, Sable Elyse Smith, James Graham, Leslie Lodwick, Dylan Rodríguez, Anne Spice, Brett Story, Jasmine Syedullah, Mabel O. Wilson, and Wendy L. Wright. Autorid: Isabelle Kirkhamlewitt

'No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity' - Richard III, Act 1, Scene 2 An angry and mercilessly suspenseful novel about an ex-con's attempt to negotiate the "straight world" and his swan dive back into the paradoxical security of crime. It is airtight in its construction, almost photorealistic in its portrayal of L.A. lowlife and utterly knowledgeable about the terrors of liberty, the high of the quick score and the rage that makes the finger tighten on the trigger of the gun. No Beast So Fierce was Eddie Bunker's debut novel and has the searing intensity of a novel based precisely on experience, with Bunker having spent most of his early life in maximum security penitentiaries for a variety of offences including armed robbery. It has been suggested that Tarantino draws on No Beast So Fierce for the botched robbery in Reservoir Dogs, a film in which Bunker plays the character of Mr Blue.

'One of the most talented graphic novelists in the UK' ZADIE SMITH 'An unmitigated delight' OBSERVER *Graphic Novel of the Month* Improbable friends Margaret and Lucy navigate their age gap, the cult of personality, graveyards and bad knees: from cult-favourite graphic novelist Joff Winterhart At this point in her life, septuagenarian Margaret is particular about the things she likes. These include looking out of train windows, graveyards in the rain, an afternoon sherry. But most of all, it is her lifelong subject, the obscure 17th century polymath J.W Preece, who she has devoted her life to studying. Margaret doesnt like: drawing attention to herself, extravagant behaviour and television. When she meets a young history TV producer, Lucy, they form a tentative bond, despite Margarets reluctance to be drawn into the media world. Several decades Margarets junior, heartbroken and unsure of herself, Lucy finds curious new inspiration as she falls under the spell of Margarets passions. With inimitable sensitivity and humour, cult-favourite graphic novelist Joff Winterhart returns with an irresistible portrait of two women navigating their age gap, loss, self-made-celebrity-historians, and bad knees 'Just when I thought I couldnt love Joff Winterhart more, along came Dear Historian. It has all the wry humanity and keen eye for detail that won Driving Short Distances and Days of the Bagnold Summer such passionate fans' PATRICK GALE 'Even in the prose aisles, you'd be hard-pressed to find a piece of literary fiction as nuanced and beautiful as this.'

Sir Ken Robinson shared with us that children are not problems to be fixed, but wonders to be cultivated. He was a beloved friend and a fearless advocate for human potential envisioning a world where children can grow and thrive. This book continues to be an inspiration. Goldie Hawn Words that I know to be true, still ringing in my ears for the last 20 years. And now as a mother, more than ever. I hope for the sanity of the planet one day his dream will become the norm. Imogen Heap If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original. - Sir Ken Robinson Widely recognised as one of the most inspirational books on the importance of creativity and its necessity, not just in education and business, but in society, Out of Our Minds is a masterclass in human potential. Sir Ken Robinson, who sadly passed away in 2020, was an internationally recognised leader in the development of creativity, innovation and human resources and a New York Times bestselling author. His Ted talk Do Schools Kill Creativity? is the most viewed Ted talk of all time with over 80 million views. Out of Our Minds challenges misconceptions that only special people are creative or that creativity applies only to the arts. The book shows how the rigid academic hierarchy with mathematics at the top, arts at the bottom wastes enormous talent. Drawing on examples from Fortune 500 companies and schools worldwide, it demonstrates how standardized testing prevents creative development. Now with the help of Sir Kens daughter, Kate, Out of Our Minds has been updated in this special 25th Anniversary edition which also explores: How artificial intelligence and rapid technological change make creativity essential for personal security and economic prosperity, not a luxury Why neurodiversity awareness demands education systems that accommodate different ways of thinking rather than requiring conformity through medication Practical strategies for leading cultures of innovation in organizations, moving beyond performative training days to systemic transformation The case for transforming not merely reforming education to help individuals discover their unique talents and lead meaningful lives Essential reading for educators, business leaders, managers, parents, and policy makers, Out of Our Minds provides the framework needed to create systems that develop rather than suppress human creative potential. In an era of accelerating change, this book offers a radically different approach to human intelligence. Autorid: Ken Robinson, Kate Robinson
Ferdinand Hodlers ausdrucksstarke Figurenbilder, Berglandschaften und Porträts sind Ikonen der Moderne. Bereits zu Lebzeiten fand das Werk des Schweizer Malers (1853-1918), der den Symbolismus mitgeprägt hat, international große Beachtung. Zeitgenoss*innen sahen in Hodler vor allem den Menschendarsteller, "der durch den Körper die Seele zu gestalten weiß", so der Künstler Paul Klee 1911. Was heute kaum bekannt ist: Hodlers Weg zum Ruhm führte auch über Berlin. Neben Paris, Wien und München hatte sich die Reichshauptstadt zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts zu einer der wichtigsten europäischen Kunstmetropolen entwickelt. Diese Städte boten Hodler die Chance, sein Werk über die Schweizer Landesgrenzen hinaus bekannt zu machen. Mit rund 50 Gemälden Hodlers und Werken von u.a. Lovis Corinth und Hans Thoma, die mit Hodler in Berlin ausstellten, wird erstmals seine Erfolgsgeschichte an der Spree erzählt.

Leroy Madden is in trouble. Big, handsome, Fox Carmody trouble. Leroy has buried his attraction to the enigmatic fisherman in irritation and pointless bickering, keeping Fox at a safe distance. But with the troublesome man now living in Leroy's house, it's becoming impossible for Leroy to keep his true feelings hidden, or the fact that Leroy maybe isn't so straight, after all. Leroy hungers for something different between them. He wants more. But Leroy's business is struggling, his newly mended relationship with his brother is at risk, Fox doesn't plan to stay, and their mothers are lovers.
